Having driven over 2000km, its more than certain that the car will be on Friday afternoon in a bad appearance shape. How, where and when can we wash em up clean before the meeting on saturday morning? I will be very tired to do it myself so I need a place that they do the job for you.
I noticed that last year all the cars were spotless clean...!!!
Enlighten me please!
PS. Bytheway I rarely wash Sh4rk on the outside while in Greece, it draws less "evil" attention that way.

Exige S2 240 - Elan S2 Sh4rk (sold)

FasteR Magazine: As far as we can tell, Sh4rk's engine will be one of the few things that will be still standing after a nuclear war!

Costas,
Hope I have not over stepped the mark but I have made a few enquiries with regard to my previous post!
Prestige car parking is a valet service open to the public, I have spoke to the guy in charge called Martin on 08000740547 and explain your quandry he said he would be more than happy to help.
He also said that a lot of the show cars from events at Donington use his service.
The Executive valet as in my previous post would take approx 2 hrs but he can also offer you a quicker services if required (just exterior).
He open at 8am and closes at 6pm.
He sounded really helpful and flexible.
If you want me to ask any more questions or book you a slot I would be more than happy to help.
Adam.

Costas,
Near the hotel we are all staying in, Stevo found this place:
http://www.awsnet.co.uk/lec/images/bathtime.jpg
It is at a petrol station and costs about £3 to wash your car. It's next to this hotel:

Here's the directions:

My car will be clean-ish, but it wont be immaculate (elans always look clean in photos, dont know why). But my Elan will probably be coming to Donington with the drivers side door still naked 
, lack of time and poor weather has meant delays in getting it all back together.
Sh4rk will look good no matter what

I think I may just be dirty

Costas - When you get to the Dartford tunnel (under the river thames) open the shark on full throttle and listen to that sweet exhaust note 
btw, its a 50mph stretch (dont forget your toll money, think its around £1)
Take care, see you and George for dinner friday evening
