I managed to convince the rest of the family that this looks like fun.

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!

I'll probably go - I'll look at the weather on Sunday morning.
I went last month. It was great in the sunshine, but freezing otherwise.

Re: Goodwood Breakfast Club 4 seater fun
Having pre-registered, I received a very nice email from a representative of the organiser. "We have had a good response for this Sunday but the Lotus Excel perfectly represents the event’s theme so we would be pleased to give you the opportunity to be one of our featured vehicles. These selected cars will be parked in the higher profile display area on the track up against the Pit Wall or by the main entrance to the Jackie Stewart Pavilion." Looks like I need to do some cleaning and polishing for Sunday - also have to be there early.

Re: Goodwood Breakfast Club 4 seater fun
I hope to see you there Chris - have pre-registered too. Fingers crossed for the weather.
Will be bringing my new Elite (new to me at least !) and a hammer to bash the erratic fuel pump...

Re: Goodwood Breakfast Club 4 seater fun
Where were you all ?! You were obviously expected Chris, because the man at the gate asked me if I was you ! We left at 10 so perhaps we just missed you. Great turn out, some super cars there and sunny but cold.
Will definitely go again. Favourite car ? Hard to say but the biggest crowds were around a new Aston Martin Rapide.....
Forgot my camera - d'oh !

Re: Goodwood Breakfast Club 4 seater fun
Hi Guy, I got there just after 8 and was sent off to the left before entering the circuit. Ended up parked between a V8 Esprit and a Ferrari, but I don't think many people made it up there as it was outside the circuit. I went round twice trying to find your Elite, but couldn't see it! I met Tony and Daniel in Tony's Excel. It was pretty busy and the sun even put in an appearance. I'll sort out my pictures and post a couple.

Oh no ! We walked around everything we could see looking for you ! Never mind, next time.
We were to the right of the helicopter and plane.
