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.

Gareth, all round good egg. http://www.themx5restorer.co.uk/

Was really good. First time on a SS and won't be last. Highlights....were a few. 911 RS old-stylee, 599 GTO, the size of a 612 and going through the tunnel "slightly" above the 15mph limit with PSE on!

Cheers. Canon 50mm f1.8 on a knackered old 400D.

Ah, the old nifty fifty

Another cracking event - thanks to Garlick and the fab team of marshals.

Looking forward to the next one

A fantastic morning with some lovely cars in a great location, although 3 up in a Carrera 4 is very uncomfortable for the guy in the back
well done to Arlick and the crew and also to the people at Goodwood

Casually flicking through to see if my car has appeared and then I think to myself, what a smashing piece of knitwear that chap has.. oh bugger that's a photo of me, on a thread on PistonHeads.

Great photo though, cheers Horney.

Lol, I do tend to take people shots to try and capture the atmosphere of things like car meets. Sorry that today you were one of my unwilling victims!

Edit: Just checked my FLickr and it's also my most popular photo from today. I'm not sure if that's due to your excellent taste in knitwear or your female acquaintance.

First Sunday service I've been to, definitely won't be the last...brilliant weather, location and drive down. A fantastically eclectic mix of cars and a good atmosphere..personal favourites, as always, the several Fezza F355s I spotted..the perfect car in my opinion..bacon wasn't bad either

Haha, that's me and my OH with petrolveins there.. She moaned because there's now a picture of her doing a 'Bit of a mong face' on the internet - I laughed.
Good picture though, cheers!

Well the photos look great, and I think you captured the atmosphere really well.

Fantastic morning. Really enjoyed it, thanks a lot.

Glad I found the Aero Cafe too, much cheaper than the van and the full English breakfast was lovely.

Looking forward to seeing more photos and videos. Had a great run there and back.

[daydotz]

great event thanks to all who organised it

[PinkRinse]

It was a very early start despite living not that far from Goodwood at all. We were a tad surprised and very pleased to be on the track. Its not my first Sunday Service but the first time I've taken a car I have owned

Oh and HorneyMX5 thank you for taking a lovely picture of my GP! It looks clean!!!

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.

Well said! My brother and I were also in the Hedge End run, both with the roofs down!

A really good run down.

Ps. My girlfriend loves your SLK!

Some really nice cars at today's SS. Brilliant Full English at the Aero cafe, roof down the whole way and a top hoon with the hedge end lot! Throughly enjoyed it. Thanks PH! !
