Goodwood Breakfast Club 4 seater fun

Post by chrisw2811 »

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

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.

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. :D

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...

Hi Guy, I look forward to seeing you there. BBC forecast is currently 'sunny intervals' :)

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 !

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.
