    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.

    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.

    That's one event that I REALLY REALLY want to go to...

    Is that the '38 standard that Enzo owned?

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.
     
  29. 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" :rolleyes:

    But well worth a trip to if you find yourself in the UK at the right time.
