My first time in an MX-5 (and Goodwood) - It's fair to say that I now know why you boys like them!!

That looks like a lot of fun. Almost empty track and a 5 to play with. I was a little surprised to see a Range Rover tacking about.

The chap in the Range Rover was wearing a tweed jacket and had his right arm firmly resting on the bottom of the window. My gesture when I passed him was more about the fact that he surely had something more suitable at home! There were some very different cars there, but they were very careful to get out of the way in plenty of time in the right places.

A great car and a great circuit. I thought that we would be demolished being two up with only 130hp, being only able to nudge the magic 100mph mark at two points on the circuit, but we weren't.

An empty Goodwood when the sun is setting is a magical experience. I need to pull my finger out and get a drive for the Revival...
