This year as with the last 4 i have been lucky enough to be working at Goodwood.

As always it was a excellent weekend, with untold amounts of cars and bikes.

I don’t quite know how but i managed to get a sit in Jesson Buttons F1 car. The one situate just outside the House. Well actually i do know......it was cause i was dress up like Dick Dastardly.

Did anyone else go, Have a good time........or did i manage to insult any fellow piston head’s when walking around with the Wacky Racers.

My favourite bit of the day is to drive my specially modified "metro" that has taken the shape of the Mean Machine and race it up the track.

What a laugh.

I thought I'd heard that Dick Dastardly was a PistonHeader. My 7 year-old step-son is very into wacky races, so I made sure I took plenty of photos for him, both of the static display and the trip up the hill (he wasn't with us, BTW).

Just one question: does the lass playing Penelope Pitstop look as good close up as she does from a distance?

No way , you lot were nuts! I accidently bumped into your crew when going up to the Cartier enclosure to find the Tuscan R , made the pilgramage in a Cureton green Chimaera from Plymouth , first trip to Goodwood and I thought it was totally immense ! Roll on 2003!
