Breakfast club Sunday 4 August

[kevinp]

I think this was the best Breakfast I have been too.
A fantastically eclectic mix of cars.
Still some typical Goodwood oddities slip through but overall a really good selection of cars.
No where near the madness of Supercar Sunday too.
For me this was a very welcome return to form for a Goodwood Breakfast.

Great morning with some stunning cars on display. Top Sunday morning again thanks to Goodwood.

Especially loved the blue hardtop XK Jag parked under one of the sheds with the rear wheel covers. Truly beautiful to look at and in great condition following a resto.

Great morning and a good run down with a good mix of cars to see. Did not know about the new ticket system to park in the circuit so was asked to cut some grass at 7.15 this morning.

...I hope it doesn't end up as a massive Aston fest and the classics get ignored.

Well that didn't happen did it! There were probably more E-Types than anything else

Anyway nice drive down, hooking up with a Healey 3000 and a TR3. Got into the circuit around 8:00 with no problems at all. I could probably have gone on the grid but decided I would just park on the track so that I could leave as and when I wanted.

Probably the best Breakfast Club i've been to. Superb range of some fantastic cars. The Goodwood staff / marshals were very friendly and top notch IMO. Well organised Event today & stayed for 4 hours enjoying every minute.

Is this the best place to post some pics from this morning?

Some gorgeous Alfas....

[DickyC]

Sunbeam Tiger


Gordon Keeble - great badge





HRG - Harold, Robins & Godfrey




Piper. I used to see these being built from the bus to and fro school in the late sixties.



















Sooooo pretty


Frazer Nash


Every other car was an Aston. Or maybe not.








Abbotts of Farnham - an Aston connection...


This isn't it


XK-SS






dmn, LSI, are you watching what I'm posting here?


This one's for me


A convertible one of these went over the side in The Italian Job in place of the DB4 Convertible. Freeze frame it if you don't believe me. It's left hand drive. Not a lot of people know that.


A Caterham? Tell me more.












This what I went in to Goodwood. Thanks, Jon.




Some Police forces used these as interceptors a farzand years ago.




6.3? Holy maroley.


I'm not sure, but it could be an
ALPINA







Gates Open at 08:00. Official. We got there at 07:45 and it was rammed.

Astons everywhere.

Marvellous photos Richard, particularly the one of that red vxr8 Did you get the videos to play?

[DickyC]

The vids play but my camera isn't up to the task

I was hoping to hear a squadron of Lancasters flying in formation through the tunnel, but I was disappointed.

There's always next time, with better equipment.

another nice day out! never quite sure about the Theme’s though. I have been there in my ultima on a pre 66 day and got onto the grid, yesterday got there with a 1965 Merc pagoda – pre registered and didnt get anywhere near, the brand new Maserati behind went onto the grid. ?

I think the answer is just get there early 7:30am latest and whatever you drive as long as it’s “a bit different” you will get in. I think the pre-register bit is a waste of goodwoods time really, I guess it gives them an idea of number of bacon rolls to buy
Great to see it’s still free and well supported.

Chap on the GRRC forums saying he pre registered his 2012,Lotus Evora and got accepted by Goodwood.

Although I'm keen to accept ultimate responsibility, in this case I blame one of my minions.

I went with a couple of friends, we rode in, was agreat little display, got ther about 10am and had a good mooch about.

Some lovely cars there from all eras, that Alfa on the grid in the red /silver was apersonal favorite and the Mrs loved the Black with Red Leather MB Gullwing .....

The Porsche guys had some nice cars and as we were strolling over there a gorgeous 991 Club Sport rolled in, looked fantastic...

Generally some great cars ....

Now you've given the game away perhaps we can all ask why the hell the web site won't leave us signed in despite clicking the "remember me" box every time
