If the gates open at 9, how early is it acceptable to arrive?

[The Hypno-Toad]

Quick heads up guys as I can't be with you today. Speed trap at the entrance to the Hindhead tunnel going north.

Mind how you go.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Weather looks fab in south London, have fun guys!

[Alex]

Weather was glorious. My favourite car of the day was the red Triumph GT6 MK2.

Great SS and awesome weather, will post some of my pics up later

[Dr Interceptor]

Great Sunday Service!!

Didn't bring the Stag - had an extra half hour in bed and jumped in the new Clubvan instead

Some gorgeous cars there today - especially the 2.7 RS - Stunning

What a great day for a top down trip to Goodwood !

Thank you to PH and Goodwood for letting us get together today.

And well done to all the others who also went topless.

Don't eat them all at once guys

pics to follow

Superb stuff, thank you Pistonheads.
Great turnout and the weather was lovely. Only took a few pics though....

[Carl_Docklands]

Could the weather have been any better? Just awesome.

[Spoof]

The drive down was superb. Thanks PH, nice turnout,

[driverrob]

Many thanks for arranging this, guys.
With hindsight, I could have arrived later and missed the early cold spell but it was well worth turning up to see such a good selection of nice, if mostly dirty, cars.
I really wish I hadn't bothered to clean the Jeep yesterday. It's even dirtier now.

A very good morning indeed.

I live a few miles from Goodwood so I felt the need to go to the meet by way of the Hedge End convey meet-up point - 30 miles away. Picked up up with the Hayling Island mini-group en-route and enjoyed some quiet and sensible motorway miles, with the odd power surge, as the Sun came up.

Good fun in a large group making decent progress on the motorway. It was dry enough to have the roof down, heater on nuclear, hot air blowing on the feet, hands and neck, heated seat cooking my arse - good stuff. I was pleased at how sensible and safe the driving standard was in the group - fun but no nutters.

Onto the circuit quickly:


Parked up on the track, blue sky, mild, no wind - who says prayer is a waste of time?

Mines the silver one that's not a Porsche.

Wandered down to the Aero Club. Warm + Comfort + Cooked breakfast = Satisfaction


Got talking to Dave from Twickenham over breakfast, a very nice man, we walked around together checking out the stock and he was kind enough to show me his very tasty and muscular Mustang (which he might be interested in selling if you're in the market. Thanks for your company Dave.

Home well before lunch, wrap a few presents whizz through a few domestic chores to keep SWMBO happy. A very satisfactory way to spend a Sunday morning.

Also went with the hedge end lot had a good time and convoy up was done at a pretty sensible pace so thankfully I could keep up in my little clio

Lovely selection of cars and weather was far far better than I expected it would!

Really, really good service today and a wonderfully eclectic mix of cars; MX5 Speedster my favourite. Didn't catch owner/builder's name but good talking to him also.
