Players at Goodwood

[Pete.]

As I no longer have a French car, decided I would attend this today with my son and his mate. Next year will pre- book and try to get my car in as there was such a mix. Really enjoyed the day and have never seen so many cars in the show and shine class. Anyway enough of my chat and on with the pics that I guess you want to see.

This Audi had only been completed four days ago. Thank god it had a roll cage, new seats and harnesses as it rolled it head first. The driver was the chief designer for Airlift and had apparently done loads of track days. The back end kicked out on the chicane leading onto the main straight, Hit the tyre wall which then pushed him into the opposite tyre wall where the front wheel dug in causing the back end to lift and somersault.

[Jekyll]

Great pics Pete, enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing

 

[DaveDreads]

That really isn't my scene at all, but I like the LHD cream pick up,
the Hillman Imp, the two yank tanks and the black Caddy.

 

[TimR26]

That Chevrolet pickup looks fantastic!

 

[BoatNonce]

Some great cars there and some horrendous ones. All have had a lot of work put into them though.

 

[Paul172sport]

Like the white civic type r.

Looks good day, I was tempted but went to the Hampshire police family day with boys instead.

 

[Gorms]

Nice pics Pete, hopefully this time next year i should have had sometime with a little Lupo GTI or another mk2 Golf so will join you.

Seems like a good show, i wish we had shows like this in Wales.

The whole VAG seem to me is just built on these fundamentals; 'Buy new or really old car, lower + split rims + maybe a retrimmed interior = show car'.

I know they have stupid amounts of money thrown at some of them but it all gets a bit repetitive.

It must be said though i'd love a nice B5 S4 Avant they have aged very well.

 

[Mr Burns]

Some great cars there and some horrendous ones. All have had a lot of work put into them though.

Pretty much my summary too.

 

[Alex5]

Some of those ridicously lowered cars are just embaressing, how ever the others deserve praise

 

[Dan...]

There's some great looking cars there - Good pics too!

 

[MarkCup]

Ah, this it what was happening there yesterday then?! I drove past Goodwood en route to Horndean and saw the car park full...thought it might have been some staff training event for the FoS or Revival.

The Fiesta makes me weep, a few of the others could have my close attention for hours, the majority though, I wouldn't look twice at.

Great weather for it once the storms had passed in the morning!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Some lovely cars, some terrible. Saw loads of stanced things driving around near Petworth so thought there must have been something on!!

Tbh, i would have gone if id known, weather was glorious

 

[daydotz]

It's a interesting mix I wanted to go

 

[l33th3tr33]

I thought players only let certain cars on the stand/s? Looks like they pulled half of those out of a hat blindfolded.

Very good pics though, love the old merc.

 

[eo52vug]

Most of them look broken to me lol

 

[Yeorge]

That Chevrolet pickup looks fantastic!

He won best car

 

[TimR26]

He won best car

Well deserved!

 

[ColinG]

That green corsa was at Gretna services yesterday. It was dreadful looking thing. My wife and I just LOL'd

 

[Matt_90]

The black caddy is stunning, I have seen that previously and spent sometime looking over it. I am by no mean a fan of that scene but, appreciate the work that has gone in to it.

Some of the others cars do look over the top and broken, far to low and try hard imo.
