I'll post some pics later. I didn't think the turnout was as large as previous months confused. Still a good showing from the Yank fans though.

Bloody Weather! Yes, lots more familes than before and now they seem to take position outside the gate in the lane to see the cars off!

Unfortunatetly, I saw guy in the last car in the photos stopped at a roundabout an hour ago - surely wet electrics?! Sorry mate but couldn't stop to assist you due to your position in the road - hope you got is sorted OK.

Smaller turnout than previous Breakfast Clubs, as suspected.

Took a few photos here www.dubloon-hoon.co.uk/BCoct06/

Didn't take many and a heavy Pork bias, can remove number plates on request.

That was the first Breakfast Club meeting I made it to and I'm really sorry now that I didn't make an effort for all the others as it's a great event.

Thanks magic torch for taking pics of my car (yellow Mach 1 mustang) as I didn't take a camera with me.

Looking forward to lots of breakfasts at Goodwood next year - that bacon is too yummy for words!!

We had a nice time being at Goodwood too! The bacon and egg butty was FAB! Nice to catch up with friends and meet new people!

The only thing that got to me is after we'd walked around all the cars from around the whole area, coming back from the pit area I caught two meatheads proped up on the side of my car! one on the wing and one on the rear behind door! Why do people do this! To top it all, when one walks up to them and say Please would you not leen on the car, they look at you as if your scum! and then look at you as if they going to punch you! One said why is it yours!


Well if it wasnt mine do you think its right to do it! they said we got cars here too you know! good so you should have respeck for others then, No not these chaps, they believe this car was there too by the look of it!
Mm one thinks, good show me your car and then ill do better then prop myself on it ill have a crap on it in stead.
then say sorry i thought it was a toilet!

the thing is when i got the car home what did i find, yes a make from a jean stud that ground its way in to the clear coat. so! Yes to the men that did that to my car, next time i see you i will have a shit on the bonnet of your cars! and if your door window is down ill go there! or if you have a converible with the top down, ill shit in every seat you have in the car!

Quite agree with your feelings here! At the last Brekkie Club meet my friend returned to his unmaraked 360 to find a youth sprawled across his bonnet being photographed - needless to say, he went off on one but they failed to see the point! I mentioned Jean studs then too.

...MUPPETS!

it was a good meeting and although quieter than previous ones this was good as got food and seats earlier. Nice variety of cars as well, on some previous meetings it can look like a one model show

Hmm sorry to see that the chav element has pervaded goodwood and resulted in people sitting on cars etc, one of the reasonsn I got there is to avoid that behaviour!
Shame I missed this but thought the weather looked too crap to attract much in the way of interesting motors..

Perhaps time to make a small entry charge, £5/car?

Wouldn't that kind of defeat the object of being able to see real cars driven by real people rather than museum pieces? They make plenty of money from the food!

More helpful would be a slightly more elitist parking system. Chavs in the big car park and the more well bred /rich/non shatso drivers in the paddock car park.




That last bit was a joke... paperbag

Think they'd make even more if they charged a sensible price, certainly puts me off.

Shall we get ourselves a van and park outside?

Actually I put a post up on the GRRC website about their plans for 2007 and James from Goodwood indicated that the Breakfast Club itself made a "reasonable loss" in 2006. Of course a key point is that the food revenue is limited by the amount of breakfast they can serve, regardless of how many attend they are probably still only able to produce the same breakfast turnover due to the serving bottleneck. They are indeed looking at ways to increase revenue and parking charges is one of them.

Well I thought just using Sinclair was the best for over there, not sure they would appreciate my PH name in those parts. hehe
