Goodwood Breakfast Club - 3rd May 2009

[Ian Simmonds]

Brekkie Club this morning… Anything but the car…

I nearly didn’t go, not being particularly into bikes, glad I did though. Very entertaining vehicles.

Also paid my £2.00 for the tractor ride around the Circuit, that was money well spent too. It’s one fast, flowing lap, is Goodwood. (Makes mental note, must do a track day there one day!!)

Here’s the piccies…

1200 Harley


Suzuki 600

I know there’s no S2 stuff, but as ever, there was plenty of interesting stuff there.

Some really good pictures there, thanks for taking the time to post them. I only live 40 minutes away and keep meaning to come.

Is it just a matter of turning up and park or do you need to book etc?

Thanks again,

Darren.

Some VERY good pics indeed. Being a VAG fan, the Mk1 GTI and the Golf country are just a couple of my favorites. The 914 is another. The white Jaguar looks nice with the cloudy sky as a backdrop. All the pics were fantastic, by the way! Thank you for sharing them with us!

Great pics (brings back memories I used to have a Bedford 4x4 as well) when do they hold these meets? Would the RS2 look good there? Should we bring the "Devil"??
Cheers

These are the dates Darren

The next one is a biggy, if the weather is good too, we'll see millions and millions of pounds worth of supercars. (last year there was at least 1 genuine Ferrari GTO) along with every other supercar you can think of, including McLaren and Zonda F...

When you turn up, the trick is to turn up early and turn into the circuit, rather than the public parking further up.

I get there for around 8am... On the Supercar Sunday, I'll already start getting busy, and by 9:30/10:00 it'll be in full swing...

By 10:30/11:00 they'll start drifting off again.

If you're an early bird like me, you'll have a great day, drive home and find the kids still in their pyjama’s!

Why not stay over at The Goodwoood Park Hotel saturday night and make a weekend of it? im sure Mrs.Trevithick would aprove... failing that theres always a sofabed available at mine for fellow RS2 owners (im just a stones throw from Goodwood )

[Ian Simmonds]

Ian,

Thanks for the info, i will give you a shout before the next one.

Darren.

No problem Darren...

Pop me over a PM......

[s2driveruk]

anyone else popping down to the Supercar Sunday next Sunday morning?

[Ian Simmonds]

Absolutely....

...Yes....

If the weather is good, there'll be 100's of millions of pounds worth of Supercars all to look at for free... (If it's anything like last years that is)...

I struggled to find one that wasn't there last year. McLaren F1 through every breed of Ferrari/Lambo/common-all-garden supercar right back to Pagani Zonda's and classic 250GTO's.

I'll be there by 8am, but ISTR the Supercar boys are a bit keen... It'll be busy.

[DJones]

I will be endeavoring to get there (just need to talk my Mrs in to taking the eldest to football).. but not in the ur this time... RS4 will have to suffice.

David,

Let me know if your going we could follow each other down..

[s2driveruk]

will do....just been out your way on the bike, **** that hill out to Farleigh Wallop is a killer
