Goodwood Festival of Speed

Post by magnumpi » 06 Jul 2011 10:01 pm

Last week i got a call off a mate saying did i want to go to Goodwood as one of his friends couldn't make it.

Hhmmm let me think about that one, of course i did.

For those of you unfamiliar with what happens there have a little look here http://www.goodwood.co.uk/festival-of-s ... 1-fos.aspx if you can't be bothered to read all of that it's basically a timed hillclimb event up the Lord of the Manors driveway :lol: along with classic rally cars hooning around in his forest, offroading/Rage buggy tracks, pretty much anything a petrolhead could want.

As they say, pictures speak a thousand word so there must be millions of words here :D
