goodwood revival too big for its own good

[vjj]

Went there Friday
What a load of crap - great cars notwithstanding
I had VIP comps courtesy of LR but it took me nearly 3 hours to get in after a 90 minute drive

Too many people and too many distractions

Couldn't get near the daytona cobras

Had to que for ages to get a beer

Massive lines for toilets as well

Total bunch of nonsense - the racing is incidental - whereas it should be the whole point.

Then at about 3.30 - just when I had found somewhere sensible to watch the spitfires and P51s flying - some demented cow dressed up as Maria Von Trapp turned up with seven brats of various ages resplendent in faux lederhosen and dresses made from me nan's parlour curtains and promptly started terrorising me with appallingly twee close harmony singing!!!!!!

It was awful - completely awful.

I returned totally dejected to the main car park

I wandered into the pre-66 parking area

Bristols,Jags,Astons,the usual fine assortment

But my boyhood dream cars were also there

A beautiful Facel Vega HK500 AND a Gordon-Keeble

So at least I left happy having seen those

But the event itself was crap
