V8 breakfast meeting 4th October
Discussion
What a great way to spend a Sunday morning. I went with a friend and we arrived at about 8.45. Had a great time wandering through and the variety was excellent. Really liked the Lark Mclaren, and the fact it was driven there is just brilliant.

It was my first Breakfast meeting and it was a great day. Highlights for me were the oldies, the brown SM, discovering the magnificent Gordon Keeble and the Dino with the perfect red paintwork. The Aston Martin Vanquish x2 were a treat too.

Anyone notice my straight-4 MGB GT on the grid? XD
I thought my friend in his Alfa Junior was trying to get in too, so I followed and got in! Turns out he didn't try it, but I still managed to remain parked next to the Ferrari F12. Felt a little naughty.
Hi, was it on the chicane opposite the G55 AMG?I thought my friend in his Alfa Junior was trying to get in too, so I followed and got in! Turns out he didn't try it, but I still managed to remain parked next to the Ferrari F12. Felt a little naughty.

Maybe wake up earlier if you always arrive at 9
I did. Got up just after 7 but seeing as I can't drive, I have to have a lift there & back which arrives at 7:45am. Add to that we had the nightmare that is the A338 workworks to contend with & that's the reason why I never arrive early.I really must find someone whose happy to get up at 6am & get me to Goodwood before 7:30am at the earliest! 8 at the latest!
We came down and plonked the car halfway up the Lavant straight, then wandered through the throng to the Aero club, to take a flight experience that was a Christmas pressie. Here's a couple of the (not very good: too hazy this morning) photos... 2nd one was getting on for 11am so things were thinning out quite a bit.
Also in the 2nd pic, see the effect of the "Over the Road" displays on the grass, coming only a few weeks after the Revival.
Compare that to the imprint of the FoS at the House - more than 3 months later...

Please could anyone advise how tolerant the marshals are likely to be of idiots who have deleted their email with the paddock pass? I have searched every word I can think of related to Goodwood, but can't find it in my inbox (or deleted items though, interestingly). I have checked my MyGoodwood account and it confirms I have been accepted, so I'm sure I didn't just dream that I'd got one! Do they have a master register they can refer back to, if I explain the situation? Can't get through to anyone at GRRC on phone or email today... Thanks
Given the number of 911s and the Ariel Atom on the circuit; and that the passes weren't checked and had the same bar code and number on them - I'd say the answer is remarkably tolerant..ewand said:

Another very good Breakfast Club with an eclectic mix of cars!
I expected it to be a sort of repeat of the supercar one & in a way it was but it was better & with less crowds.
It's not everyday you see McLaren F1's park next to Dodge Challengers & Lambo's next to Mustangs & nearby the Diablo pair, was a pair of classic 50's American trucks!
Also there were Range Rovers, Grand Cherokee SRT8's, Rollers, bikes, Porsche 928's, Citroen SM's (I counted 3!) & quite a load of TVR's.
Loads of cars, just about enough time (Why do I always arrive at 9am?) & about 700+ pictures!

P.S. This is not the end of the 2015 Breakfast Club's guys! Bahn-stormer Sunday, 1st November.

Would appreciate the photo of my yellow Jensen Convertible that was on the grid by email if you get a minute?

Indeed, turned out to be no problem at all. Followed a bright green Murcielago onto the circuit so no-one really paying much attention to the estate behind it (including my 3 year old daughter for whom the discovery of scissor doors was the highlight of the day).
HaHa, That was me - say hi next time! My girls did exactly the same when I went to look at a Gallardo with them - came away to do the man maths and the green meanie!Gassing Station | Goodwood Events | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
