Good to see you today lads - fookin freezing though, am only just thawing out...I'll get my limited pics up later....off to the boozer for the footie in a bit - motors, beer & footie - perfect Sunday :smokin:
Was a cold but worthwhile early get up and go morning. Think I saw total 4CSLs, some recognised but not sure whos whos!?
2 reg's I recollect - SG, 191BMW & SB, LB04 which think is jeffers? No evidence on film apart from these which was amusing to watch, so managed to slip me hand out from the pocket into the cold for a wee moment to take a few pics on the iPhone:
Not my bag but this really was flawless & showed every sign of it never being driven before today! Worth a snap before heading back.
I think there were 7 there in total KK - Shimmy, Roly & I were parked in a row in the paddock. Steve (Azrael) was there plus 3 others (1 SB, 2 SG inc the plate you mention) - a good show :supz:
Got up some ungodly time to drive around the m25, all if it at either 50mph or at 70mph under the Gatso gantries.
Got to the A3 meet point bang on time:whistle: to meet Yanto and RolyGtir. They both had lovely shiney detailed cars (well Rolygtir's was a bit smeary tbh) so it was a shame when it started to rain:-D
We set off with RolyGtir leading across country to Goodwood although Yanto and I didn't know that RolyGtir had managed to put on his pipe and slippers so we followed a M623CSi all the way there, until it pulled away from us
We were nearly first there but were shoved into the covered paddock area. We paid for our £10 breakfast :bigcry: and sat eating it outside freezing our bits off, but at least the rain had stopped and the sun was trying to come out.
We bumped into Azrael and then saw another 3 CSLs making it 7 in total (see pics below of the unknown 3)
Took a wander up and down the track and although there were a whole load of boring drab cars there, there was also a few stunners, especially some of the really old Mercs and 1970-80 M cars.
Trip back up to the M25 after was a bit mire lively, managed to bed in my new diff and other bits:supz:.
So a few photos below from iPhone.
Slightly dodgy E46 M3 with carbon bits
More old M cars
Nice R8 behind these two heaps!!!:notworthy:
Audi RS5
Yanto is a big 993 fan but this porker was older than that
Stunning Zonda but had a flat tyre, poor lad and then this goody looked like he was gonna nick some carbon
And then we found Lawsy's new track car but no sign of him anywhere.
Finally we found the 'belle of the ball' and Yantos favourite, I think if the owner would have been there he would have bought it there and then. Great Audi TT with baseball leather and stitched seats and brown leather steering wheel. True classic. :smt055
I rode down x-country from Reading. Left home at 6.50, got a totally clear run at the A339 from Basingstoke to Alton, which is almost unheard of, but the wet road + leaves meant taking it a bit easier than usual on the corners. Heated grips and vest meant it was actually quite pleasant, even though the temp gauge was reading 4C.
It was bloody freezing at Goodwood, and actually not all that many really exceptional cars to look at - lots and lots of Pork, and a few interesting BMWs. I heard some bloke on his mobile lamenting that "They're letting everything in, it's like fecking Asda's carpark"
I didn't stay too long as I needed to get back on the bike to get warm again. I did see the CSLs in the paddock and a couple on the track but there was no-one around to say hello to at the time.
Few pics below. The slighty streetfightered boxer was really nice, but ffs surely could have come up with a better solution for the numberplate!
Thats where the rest of the CSL crew massive were hiding! Didn't manage to get right down the front of that paddock.
Explains the miscounted 3, making the 7.
