Goodwood breakfast club

goodwood breakfast club is back up and running now for 2011 after the winter.

 

Zed is all cleaned and polished ready for a nice day out there tomorrow. Pre 73 classics to see I believe this time around. Main reason though is an excuse to put the roof down and enjoy the car after the up rev. :teeth:

 

Bought myself a little mini cam corder to test out too , ready for my activity day on the 20th.

 

Got me thinking though as it's a regular occurrence and we have so many zeds in the area we should use it as a reason for a meet up once in a while. Breakfast, chat, then head back home to enjoy the rest of your sunday.

Breakfast is from 8-12, plan is to meet phil at 8 In Guildford and get there for 9ish. Bite to eat, chat, see some nice cars and get back just before lunch.

 

Fancy coming along? Soz it's a bit short notice but was a spur of the moment thing as the weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow.

Hoping to be there with any amount of luck, albeit with a diversion to pick someone else up. I'm on a bit of a tight schedule so I am going to be down there quite early.

 

Really enjoy these and have been to many. Nearly got stranded there in the Caterham once following a sudden snowstorm (we pushed/slid it sideways off the road into a farm entrance to avoid being wiped out by incompetents coming down the hill from the north). At another where we met a guy who had bought an telegraph pole lorry off ebay for £500 to restore, much to the surprise his wife. Asked him why and he said why not!

 

Would definitely try and attend in future if there was an organised club run down there.

Well what a great way to spend a morning. Weather was great so enjoyed the drive down in convoy with my mate in his vx220. Roof down it was super and felt like the first day of summer. Passed the entrance to the new hind head tunnel to open later this year. Didn't know it was that close. Bet the miltek will sound great in there.

 

So many people went, saw lots of nice zeds in the car park. Managed to hunt yours down Neil :) does your car never get dirty. Both times I've seen it it's been spotless.

 

Loads of nice cars there from old to new, alfa, jags, ferraris, porsches, mustangs. The new maserati grandturismo convertible looked fantastic. Aston martin dbs in black looked just wow.. Pure car porn. They even had a spyker there. Was fun spening time at the exit when everyone leave hearing all the cars accelerate away. Aston sounded amazing tearing away.

 

Made me laugh when the convertible lambo was getting ready to leave. Big audience watching and his roof got stuck while opening. I was tempted to go Over and say "don't worry mate I have the same problem, bit cold for it, leave it til it's over 5 degrees :teeth: "

 

Breakfast was great, would estimate over 100 cars to see. Was very enjoyable. We should definitely organse some meets around this event.

Thanks for the kind comments Will - it was just luck that I cleaned it yesterday! I have to make up for my lack of mods with shinyness.

 

I thought this was one of the best yet. Some of the GRRC members' cars were truly beautiful. There was the most stunning 4.5 litre Bentley I think I've ever seen.

 

The Carrera GT and Zonda seemed to attract a lot of drooling. I particularly liked the new Abarth 500 parked next to the original 500 - it made it look like a toy. The Mk1 RS, the very early Cooper S, the red Alvis.....I am going to have to have a lie down and massage with an oily rag.

 

Will - I notice that the theme for April is "Soft Top Sunday". Does that mean the Coupes can't go in? ;):pB)

If it is soft tops only it is bound to rain :boat:

 

So I wouldn't want to go anyway :p
