What a morning. Exceptional without a doubt.

It was really nice morning with fantastic cars & great company too! Like I said, I always look forward to this every year & it never disappoints.

I might also be on a couple of You Tube videos too.

Loved every single minute of it! Will be back next year!

As for pics? More then covered!

I missed the "special area for McLaren" too....irked

Will make a point of walking to the gravel car park next time.
I was with the Goodwood staff when the group of 20+ supercars arrived around 9.15 and they were left with two options, break them up over the site, or put them all together in the car park close to the entrance.. Hard choice.... They chose to keep them together, which seemed quite logical... But didn't hit with universal satisfaction...

I can only blame myself for not looking over there.

Minor curiosity, but what time did everyone turn up to this?

We got there almost dead on 08:30, and the place was pretty much full already. So so much for the 'Don't turn up before 08:30' warning then hehe

I got there around the 8:15 mark and most of the paddock was already rammed, though got an undercover spot smile

Thanks for organizing PH! Goodwood and Brooklands are the best Sunday Services.

A great morning was had and kudos for the black cab rocking up, was like my dad suddenly had a PH account thumbup

That's mine. Initially was stuck in the car park at 9:30. Luckily the kind marshals let me on the circuit later when a few had left. Was surprised that there were already quite a few gaps even by then.
Was a good morning and the mix of cars just goes to show what an eclectic bunch we all are from the Holman Imp to the MaClarens!

Was it my imagination, or were people leaving earlier than usual? I'm sure that cars were driving out while we queuing for our coffee at just gone nine.
I left early on at around 0930 but I had just come off a night shift so I think I can be excused biggrin

Also hello to the Porsche I followed on the A27, the BMW M3 coming off the A27 into goodwood that had a play and the silver MX5 on the way home along the A27/M27 wavey

Our fault for not getting there earlier, sorry! We'd reserved a place on the grid, then lost it by being so late.

I did see 1 of you, went past my house just after 7am as I was leaving.

I assume he was going down there, a white 12C.

Thankyou to organisers.

Depends which part of Surrey you're in smile . White 12c heading south to Boxhill area would be BISPAL; white 650s Spider heading north to Boxhill from Guildford way would be me biggrin

Eta ... and of course having read it again PROPERLY you clearly say 12c getmecoat

There was a white (possibly silver) McLaren in the hand car wash at segensworth the other day. I cringed that the the owner clearly has no love for their car.

Nice drive down and morning out. Who was the PHer in the white Golf R Estate? I gave chase briefly coming off the roundabout, they're pretty brisk aren't they!
Were you in the Z4? That was me. smile

Big thanks to the organisers was a good morning out despite the wintery conditions, certainly had a blast :-D

Another great Sunday Service, as others have said, there is something special about this one. After a long discussion with my seven year old, we have decided that car of the day was the Datsun 240Z.
An amazing assortment of metal(and fibreglass, carbon fibre etc). A special thanks to the kind owner of the DB11 who let me sit in it and generally have a good poke around.
Thanks to all those involved in organising it.
It wasn't this one was it by any chance? If so I'm truly honoured as the proud owner biggrin

What Tosh, (no offence).

I use mine daily and treat it to spruce up from time-to-time, what's wrong with that?

NB. They use clean water, new sponges and do a far better job than I would.

We eventually managed to get the McLarens lined up, I hope there are better pics than my phone shots! Great turnout and thanks to PH for arranging.

Couldn't resist a pic!
