Think Goodwood has been inundated with this one, Still waiting on confirmation and I've only got a little V10.
Size doesn't matter.

Now am I missing something here, Why do they have to close Both tunnels? surely they could divert traffic into the other tunnel like they do at Dartford?
Look at the width of the Rotherhithe tunnel traffic passes in opposite directions with not too much trouble?

Picking up an Exige V6 on Saturday and crossing my fingers that my application submitted yesterday gets approved for Sunday. Regardless, it will be a great first outing for it no matter where I'm parked!

I don't know if rockets are allowed within Goodwood, best e-mail and ask before you arrive in explosive fashion.

I'm hoping for the same!

The CSL owner has no excuse whatsoever for missing out unless he can't be bothered/other commitments.

The 4.0 is one of those cars that's value is rising daily & the owner certainly doesn't want to harm his pride & joy in anyway. But it would have been nice to have seen one again rather then it sitting in the garage all year round.

But hey, theres still a nice collection coming with you though, especially the Ford GT! A car i've always wanted to own. Which one of those will you be in?
I will be in a scruffy E46 M3 Coupe. My friend has just taken delivery of his M4 so I am caretaking the M3 indefinitely. Had a Clio 172 Cup before this. Different experience to say the least! LOVE IT!

Annoyingly the forecast is heading in the wrong direction in terms of rain.. although I guess there's still time for it to change. Bloody irritating as its the first one since Ive got my weekend mobile back on the road mad

I'm from Brighton and the changes in the last 2 years have meant even I can't find a free/cheap space.

Green party have completely fecked up my home town.

For the speed trials I ended up parking in Saltdean and getting the bus back into Brighton, God you get some scum on the busses.....Never again!

The CSL has done 75k miles and is used daily/properly, however the 4.0 on the other hand is dry use only I think. Was REALLY looking forward to going down with them. As you have noted, the forecast is looking rubbish so I have a feeling it will stop a lot of people going down. Let's hope for a turnaround!

I think part of the problem is that the 4.0 is not really in line with the theme (ie not a Vee engine), so there is a chance one gets sent off to the fields (of course this is assuming the guys at the front gate know the difference). I've submitted a registration for an E39 M5 given the above...
