Well, that's it folks - 2011 Sunday Services are over. But with Goodwood motor circuit hosting more than 800 cars (and even more PHers - making it one of our biggest meetings ever) at the weekend, we reckon the PH community put on a fine show.
More or less every space in the paddock and public areas of Goodwood were filled with all manner of exotica, with everything from a sparkling Mk1 Jag to a 5-occupant Fiat 126 (really) to a Ferrari FF on show. So thanks to all those who braved the sunny but slippery conditions - especially those who, like Garlick, encountered ice at rather unfortunate moments...
Also a massive thanks must go to all the staff at Goodwood for their help and organisational excellence, and also to the commitment and utter disregard for frostbite of PHers C2james, The Hypno-Toad, Happy Eater and Burts24 while
Of course, there is also the matter of the most festive car competition.Despite some fine entries from the likes of a spangly silver MR2 and an R33 Skyline with its own fairy lights, and many other tinsel-wrapped motors, the winner can only be NWVT, for his baubled-up Focus RS. The judges especially liked his dash-mounted snow scene and this, combined with Santa trousers and reindeer (or possibly moose-based) hat, sealed the deal. Enjoy your pair of Festival of Speed tickets, Nick...
Finally, thank you all for your support this year and, more importantly, your attendance - Sunday Services would be rubbish if it was Just Garlick and his TVR. Roll on 2012!
Ps - Due to the PH/Autosport show at the NEC in January, there will be no Sunday Service until February 2012 - more details to follow in the New Year.
