very cool pics. I've always wanted to make it over there for Goodwood. I'm pretty heavy into European cars as well and there has always been a great showing of rare stuff.
theres a bugatti at the show that aparantly change hands for £8 million quid($16m)and the paint wasnt even that great,it also has 24 inch wheels on it so does that make it a donk
going tommorow,then monday to get the truck,i limped in there today so may be getting a ride home with the rac,bob
This is going to be hard for you guys to take, but in 2000 My engine in the 788 car set the F/FS record. "F" is 183 cid. I used a Nissan V6. The good news is Jack Costella who ownes and built the car has plenty of records in flathead classes in the same cae.
Great pics, my company has a facility in Ferndown and I get over there fairly often. Unfrtunately, it's never during the show. Guess I'll keep trying. Thanks for te pics.
WOW, The Blue Flame! I always loved the look of that streamliner and had an interesting encounter many years ago. I build amusement rides for a living, and was at a semi-boring carousel convention talking to a guy at the dinner table. He mentioned that as well as collecting carousel animals he built cars . "What kind of cars?" "Well,I helped build the Blue Flame.. ever heard of that? Hell, a boring evening turned out to be helluva encounter.
Damn I love those '38 Standards! Gotta get me one. Cool stuff, except the salt scenes are just silly.
all that salt is there to chuck on our chips (fries)...theres a lake of vinegar behind the cars great pics bob....looks like its gonna be a wet one though monkey
Did you you see this thing? The Oly Charger is one cool ride. I guess it ran Le Mans in 76. Nice to see old stock car live again. Oh and listen to this...
Ryan, if you PM me with a mailing address, I'll send a CD of photos from GoodWood 2006. I'm going again at the end of August....can't wait!
Jack told me it would cost me $3000 to bring my roadster to sit with those cars. I don't know if Jack spent $3000 but that dosn't sound like him.
hers a link to some photos posted on the uk nsra site http://www.nsra.org.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39552 monkey
Thanks for the link. I think the thing that intrigues me about Goodwood is they have ALL types of cars, not a cookie cutter type of gathering for sure.
The great thing about Goodwood (well, one of many great things....) is the wide spectrum of cars, the 1st time I went (97 I seem to remember) they had everything from an early 1800's steam powered wagon to the current F1 cars, with everything in between... The crowd is a wild mix too, 'car guys' to multi millionaire types who are only there as its part of "The Season" But well worth a trip to if you find yourself in the UK at the right time.
