Goodwood 27th August
Discussion
Yeah, I'm going. I don't wish to worry you but the last T/D I did was at Goodwood in March and it was raining and I had a little off that unfortunately destroyed my car 
There was no one else involved and proceedings were not held up for too long (easy for me to say I know
).
I will be in a Hellrot red BMW 318is rolling on the same rims and 888's that I last used on that fateful day but have no fear, I will be learning my new steed and behaving my self in an until now never before seen mature adult fashion so no more crashing from me sir; well, I will try not to, promise

^^^ Lightweight 
The good news is that the weather is due to stop raining by 0700hrs. Goodwood does seem to fair rather well when it is seemingly raining all around but now I have said that it is bound to be a washout
I have driven on slicks there in the rain. I wanted to see what it was like. I did about 3 laps and when I came in the marshal's all cheered and clapped, cheeky little beggars

^^^ No need to panic my good man, you have to use it to loose it and I have been doing neither
What a great day. Varying weather conditions, good array of vehicles and some bloody nice chaps to boot: I LOVE GOODWOOD!
Glad to hear your being philosophical about it, but still sorry to hear it ended up thus! I saw it once at the Goodwood Breakfast club, did look the business.What a great day. Varying weather conditions, good array of vehicles and some bloody nice chaps to boot: I LOVE GOODWOOD!
I did three laps of Goodwood in a Diablo on one of those "experience" days, despite being told to stay in 4th gear I was impressed at how fast a track it is!
Hi Guys ...I was there in an old Porsche ( 1969 911E ) , it was a tale of two halves - before lunch and after lunch . Surprisingly few stoppages in spite of lots of BMWs there 
Here's a quick clip from the drying out afternoon session proving that an M3 is quite quick

^^^ It was good to finally make your acquaintance proper after so long lizard man 
It would seem that the cheaper the car, the more fun was being had, but then again we would say that wouldn't we
I popped in for a look yesterday and it was like a different world. On Friday I would say the average cost of a car there was about 5K ( not ours obviously ), but Saturday it was about 50K what a difference a day makes 'eh 
There was even a Veyron in the car park! although I deliberately ignored it; that'll teach them
Look forward to seeing you again, maybe at the Nordschleife? Adios amigo
