Wasn’t as worried about non car people touching and scratching too your pride and joy.

I saw a vlogger do a walkaround of my car ,should've asked his YouTube name.

It wasn't the chap at the start of the above or STG who I saw too.

Your car was properly awesome! Had a good look round it, I love how unassuming and stock+ it looks until you see under the skin. Super-neat cage and stripped out, sorted fuel system on display, etc. Bet that upsets a lot of "better" cars on trackdays Must go like a go-kart on steroids

Hi there Dalto....

Hello! Sorry I missed you!

There were a few vloggers around I think? Looking forward to seeing some of the footage

Anybody get a vid of my B5 leaving some 11s on the way out? I left pretty late (11:40ish).

What a weirdo (the guy filming, not you).

Also hate to be "the guy" but is something like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fqH0wZbRYk - ~13:05) really appropriate on a public road? - the type of thing that will very quickly stop events happening. I'm all for booting it away (whilst in control and maintaining traction) but that's just a bit chav.

Thing is the number plate isn't even blurred so the guy could be in for a world of pain.

Likely others on the above link, that's just the first one that actually made me want to say something.

Yeah it goes a bit beyond having a bit of fun when it looks like you're almost about to crash and ruin someone elses day.

Wouldn't be so bad if the road outside of goodwood were wider but he comes back later in the video going the other way acting like a tosser too

Couldn't say I was surprised though when I saw a bmw about to pull away

Some of it is a bit OTT, like that BMW. Especially when the email from PH expressly said:

Pistonheads said:

Notes: We know it’s exciting being at Goodwood, but please do not get carried away and be sensible when arriving and leaving! Failure to do so could severely damage our chances of doing future Sunday Services, and nobody wants that

When I tried to pull away (turning right) there were so many Mini-Shmees took on the left hand side of the road that I didn't have a clear view of the road before pulling out, especially as the road is on a bend, and people can drive down there pretty quickly. I had to tell them to move back as I couldn't see! I was half expecting to find myself on Youtube! Haha!

Bit weird fingering other peoples tyres?

It wss a good morning out. I hit a pheasant on the way. Luckily it didn't cause any damage.

Blue Scirocco?

I was two cars behind in a blue R, when that occurred. Made a nice explosion. About 30 seconds later i almost hit one too.

as for the BMW drift lunatic


It would be spectacularly stupid would it not, if you were the person doing that stupid driving, if you then commented on that video saying, oh look thats me leaving like I usually do, with a youtube channel featuring your car and number plate. step forward Mr Gareth Wood - Perhaps PH management should suggest he doesn't attend future events

It's driving like that, that threatens the very existence of the events that we organise. We spend a lot of time and effort organising these events, for free, yet there's always a select few that disregard the rules because they think it looks 'cool' to drive dangerously leaving our events.

If you were one of the drivers that left like this, don't bother coming back to a PistonHeads Sunday Service. We all like to have a spirited drive but there's a time and a place; leaving our events is not it.

On the plus side, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with a great turn out and an incredibly eclectic mix of cars. Thanks to those that came along and drove sensibly!

I wonder if he was the same tool who left the BMW Sunday service with a heavy dose of right foot.
