Goodwood In Pictures: The Story So Far

PH's online picture scrapbook from the Goodwood FoS

---

Alfa Romeo celebrates its centenary

The Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010 is well underway, so we thought it was time to pop up a few of the PH team's favourite pics so far (well - mine and Garlick's).

Apologies for the variable quality - the better one's are Garlick's, though I blame my rather inferior happy-snapper Lumix versus his fancy DSLR for my rubbish shots...

We'll have some rather more dramatic action pics on Monday, but for now here's the PH team's-eye view of the FoS so far. Feel free to put our efforts to shame by posting your own pics in the thread below...

Some of the best merchandise...	...on sale in the festival's flashiest stand
Legendary rally cars share paddock space with...	...iconic historic sportscars
The public get up close and personal with some of the world's hottest motors in the Supercar Paddock including...	...American muscle...
...italian exotica (this is the UK public debut of the Ferrari 458 Italia and 599 GTO)...	...and the GTbyCitroen, which gets more attention than the Bugatti sitting next to it
The famous Billy Gibbons ZZ Top CadZZilla is part of a stunning display of custom hot rods.
Lifesize Scalextric track showcases 20 years of MX-5s	Original Rangie looks over towards somewhat less earthy MY 2011 car
Super-rare Maserati Quattroporte II is Garlick's show favourite...	... while Mr Will was more taken with this...

CadZZilla really was a stunning car. It looks even better in the metal. Shame it got scratched on the way over :-(

Some say that he has no genitals, but that if he did, they would taste like chocolate.

Only one woman really knows...

I didnt realise there was one due.

I'm actively looking for a TVR owners club stand though. Dying to have a poke 'round some for a future purchase.

Is there one, I didn't see one or much TVR presence there at all .

[dickieandjulie]

I can confirm that there were no new TVR's there!

The Macca attracted plenty of attention though.

Mmm carbon zonda was delicious though

[fatboy18]

I belive the No 92 Viper GTS-R is at Goodwood this weekend, can you guys confirm this and if you could snap a few pics that would be fab

Cant make Goodwood this year due to lack of funds

[alan witt]

We were at the FoS Moving Motor Show on Thursday and the only TVRs we saw on the day were the ones at Fernies as we drove past!

[SCREWBOY]

Went to my first F.O.S this thursday, i am gutted i never made the effort before now, best show i have been to in years!! superb venue, brilliant stands, amazing selection of cars and bikes, airshow was great!! top day out all round, so much to see and do!! could not praise the organizers enough, very well run and everyone we spoke to seemed to be loving it!! made the motorshow at the ECCEL centre seem very poor in comparison. will have to go to this every year now!!!
