A must for any petrolhead, so much exotica on display it just makes me moist :p

Cars are on display in Pall Mall from 1pm and the official start is 4pm. I will probably rock up early and get some static shots in, before going home to pick up my car and drive down the M20 to get a good vantage point to watch the cars on the way to the Eurotunnel at Folkestone.

By the time they have made their way through London and got down to Folkestone it will probably be around 6-7pm

Anyone else going?

Hmmm, I'm only about 10 mins from the M20, so might find a bridge down there and see what I get....

Get there early if you want a good vantage point, every single bridge between London and Folkestone was packed last year

Very hacked off with this. Saw they were leaving London between 4 and 6, so thought yep, plenty of time to get down to Maidstone after the football.

So, arrived in Hollingbourne, on a bridge about 6. Saw 3 Gumball cars go through. Old bill turned up and told us it was all over. It was now about 6.45. There's no way anyone left London around 5.30 - 6pm and got to Maidstone that quickly!
