Right chaps, my humble efforts.

Aston Martin Bulldog
Audi Croc nose
Auto Union nose
Beatles Mini
Beatrice F1
Benetton F1
Brawn F1
Ferrari Breadvan
LIFE F1 !!!!
The worst F1 car evah built.
Metro 6R4
Shadow F1
SLR
Rumoured to be Big Ron's
Williams engine
Williams March
My two highlights were that nutter in Offroad semi-detached cottage on wheels. Totally hatstand!
And I have to say the Life. I thought it had long gone to the crusher as it was the worst F1 car ever built. And yet here it was. And it was awful!!

cool pics
Im going on Sunday, and Im really looking forward to seeing the LIFE now! Did it run? 
I don't actually know if the LIFE ran. I know it didn't in the morning (or at least I didn't see it). On our way out to miss the traffic we saw it had a helmet and racesuit on the sidepod, so I'm guessing it is a runner.
I'm also guessing its still got the Juddie in it.

Just got back.
Stap me.
Take care peeps, those of you who are going over the weekend. It's heady stuff. I was going dizzy. There must be more drop-dead absolutely stone f
king miracle automotive pornography in one place than can ever have been in any one place anywhere ever.
There are more pre and post-war Mercs and pre-war Auto Unions and Porsche 917s and stonking Audis and F1 cars and god knows what than you can shake a stick at. It's bloody brilliant. The drive there is brilliant, the car parks are brilliant and the show is brilliant and we had great weather too.
Just a shame the top F1 starts weren't there today, but in all honesty i don't think i could have taken any more anyway. Phew, what a day.

Look at those two large braided hoses either side of the cockpit of this grand prix Merc... they link the centre fuel tank, that bulbous looking thing with the steering column running through, with the large fuel tank in the tail of the car.

First visit since 2001...and boy was it GOOD!
Audi Sport quattro S1 barely stretching its legs
Le Mans Aston gains a few extra horsepower
Siamese twins race towards victory
Ex-Sainz WRC Focus tackles the first corner
Stops as well as it goes
The car that started the dynasty
"Charlie Four-Two...Sir Stirling on move to startline"
Bowler, moments before launch. Passenger contemplates decision to ride.
Opel Mantas; recently re-introduced into the wild
Just catching it! Aston about to start up the Goodwood hill
"Three, Two, One, GO!!!"
Like Dennis Weaver in Duel, we never saw the truck driver's face
Who's that? See helmet for clue
Mike Cross tempts with "Concept" XKR that might make production.....or not
Media interested in one thing - McLaren F1 GTR "Harrods"
No doubt set to star in the latest Hollywood blockbuster before disappearing
Wings aloft: Veyron traffic jam delays racing
David Piper, from perhaps the oldest generation of racing heros left
Will F1 Toyota fit between marshall's legs? We'll know in a few seconds...
Its driver gone, far too soon
Memories of Thruxton, 1997 - Frank Biela's BTCC Audi A4 quattro

Just lovely...
Outstanding display (as it is every year)
900 BHP and it handles like a blamange
If in doubt - stick it on as a body kit.
If in doubt - make it wider.
They can turn right.
Still going strong - nice burn out at the start...
There's lovely.
Going for it..
Not as ugly looking as the road car.
All it needs is a rotating front roller and it could cut the grass..
More Max Power body kits...
Just divine.
As the old dear next to me said - they just don't make them like this anymore.
Like something out of the program UFO.
Having a poke about the terribly coloured SLR.
Minimalistic.
It's blue and it's an opentop.
It's a stealth Porsche.
Peter Fonda rode it up the hill in the afternoon.
One of my cars of the show.
The enviroMentalists were there.
The Nemesi doing what they do best.
What - yes another SLR...
Lovely lines.
The R stands for Racey....
Another Mentalist.. I can only hear the Pink Panther theme when I see this.
Proper racing attire.
Holding on makes it faster.
Into the rally stage.
Was certainly going for it.
But he was going faster.
Always a crowd pleaser.
Nowhere near enough smoke to please the crowd..
Scarying the bejesus out of my nephew.
Showing that you can go over the jumps with your hands off the wheel.
Drool Drool
Old School.
New school
A cracking day out....

What an amazing day out, this was mine (and my Dads) first ever Goodwood and now I can see what all the fuss is about. Better than any other motorsport event I have ever attended, everything is just so much more accessible. I think this is now going to have to be a regular event for me.
The only downsides were the sunburn (barrels of aftersun required !) and the traffic jam on the A3 afterwards.
