..albeit not in a supercar.
Do we know what the guys at goodwood class as "supercars" and will be allowing into the paddock? I know when I spoke with James (from Goodwood) earlier in the year he said that most Porsches don't fit in that class, so I'm assuming it will only be the real exotic stuff????? Lambo, ferrari etc!..albeit not in a supercar. inf said:
Any one want to convoy about 80% sure i am going will be leaving from the Surrey area
Some Cerberas and hopefully my old Camaro, going from Guildford/Petworthhttp://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Probably not the place, but IMHO a supercar should be 2 seater, mid engined. Probably V12, probably Italian. The Miura was the first supercar, Setright coined the phrase to describe it so I guess you'd have to ask him (bit difficult)
911 = sports car
LC = Supersaloon
599 = GT
etc. I'm not saying these cars are inferior at all, I love 911's and LC's and the 599 is my favourite modern ferrari (better then the enzo IMHO) but just that they are not supercars. The car park is quite small, I doubt they will have much trouble filling it so can be quite selective. It's not like you have to park in a field 16 miles away if they don't let you in you get to use the paddock! You get to drive under the tunnel, and it's closer to the food!

)Varsas, may or may not have been directed in my direction but you've actually written above as if i'm actually bothered where I park. TBH i'm not, as I said I don't expect to park in the main section as, like you say, the schoolboy definition of a supercar means a 4 door saloon doesn't fit the bill. I'm just looking forward to driving down in my own car (whatever that may be), parking up and having a gander at some spectacular machinery with some friends. 
People take this parking thing way too seriously IMO, and anyhow if your like me you spend time looking around the whole area and not just the main dispay then who gives a stuff where cars get directed to.

Yeah. I'd be sore if they made me park outside too......People take this parking thing way too seriously IMO, and anyhow if your like me you spend time looking around the whole area and not just the main dispay then who gives a stuff where cars get directed to.

Sorry, not my intention at all, just wondered what other people thought of as a supercar, really. I've never parked in the 'special area' even when I was in a suitible car; as I said I like the paddocks and that's definatly where I'll be on Sunday (not that i'll have a choice in this case!). I'll look for your car! (and the SM!)Should be there in my '60 Healey 3000 - meeting a friend who is hoping to bring his Z1. (Neither I particularly supercar but then I don't mind parking outside )
Will be travelling down from Alton in Hampshire (via Petersfield/Midhurst) if anyone fancies travelling down in convoy then pop me an email to tim@timcrighton.com

I'll be there. Coming up from Portsmouth way. Have started a topic on the South Coast Forum for a meet up at the Shell Garage in Farlington at the top of thr Eastern Road at 08.00hours. If anyone else is coming from that direction feel free to join us. Only about a 20 mile trip but should be good. Jim
Thats just round the corner from me. I used to drive upto the M25/A3 services to meet other PH and then drive down through Guildford on the back roads.Which way do you guys go?
Bondy
Not sure to be honest mate, see what people say on the morning i guess, but somehow doubt we will go all the way to guildford to come back down. More than likely take the back roads there though. Your welcome to join us mate. jim. ps nice Noble by the way.

Cheers, I'll see if the TVR boys will let me join in with them and meet them in Guildford as its a Nice long drive out. If not then I'll probably join you with an Elise and maybe another Noble.Edited by Thejimreaper on Thursday 29th May 20:38
