goodwood supercar sunday... 4/5/14

[britlude]

today was the goodwood breakfast clubs supercar sunday!

i was there in the hotrod, surprised they accepted the car after was going to enter both, then found i could only enter one... after i'd entered the hotrod! so a 6am start got us to the circuit at 7.45.. still too late as the paddock was rammed and everything was being sent onto track! it meant i had to pick my was through the masses of people meandering around the cars on the track! strange as they couldn't hear my loud V8 exhausts...

anyway... here's me on the track!

.... not out of place at all! did get a lot of compliments, my fav being 'once you've seen one ferrari... but this is something else!'.. always entertaining just standing within earshot of some of the comments! it usually gets a crowd around it especially when i start it up! today i made one americans day, tho he did say i 'was doing things to him no man should' when i blipped the throttle! those damn yanks lol!

and a pix of NSX there (because you've not seen NSX before), sorry i forgot to take pix of Prides red pop-up, and IOP MY05 NSX that was parked next to the Honda stand!

for some reason the roll protection safety system deployed! it must have been near/on the circuit as the shattered glass is still in place! so new window... 2 new pop-up roll hoops.... new seat top trim or seat.... oops!

[havoc]

Loving the maroon 220 and the black Enzo...but WTF on that Aston?!?

Saw a few of George William's pics...2 Maccas there eh? Nice. Anything else properly interesting/exotic (i.e. better than the 599 I can see...)?

[britlude]

a couple of the new McLaren 650's there....

[lotusolly]

Didn't realise this was on! Gutted to have missed it this year!

[WhyOne?]

I bumped into Simon and Hayley and very briefly, Leigh. Sorry I missed everyone else - Jonathan, your hotrod is a thing of wonder and beuty, and was certainly getting lots of favourable attention. Shame someone had cluttered up the front seat with an NSX sun visor!

A few more snaps from me.....

I have't been to a breakfast club meet for a couple of years and whilst very busy indeed, the organisation has improved greatly with the advent of pre-registration.

Busy-busy

I am not sure how Honda managed this, but I suspect it involved £££'s:

The title of 'least suitable car for a family touring holiday' is always hotly contested on Supercar Sunday, but this year there was a very clear winner....the Vanwall GPR V12, a recreation of a 1950's F1 car. This must be absolutely bonkers to drive on the road!

A car you probably could take the family on holiday in...this car is used as a daily driver!

The car I would most like to have taken home (with Y1 of course)...probably this one:

One the 'vaguely affordable' scale, I also though this looked great:

Great pics - thanks for sharing them.

[NZNick]

Yellow car above - is it a Farboud GTS? Not sure if it was made under the Ginetta "reign" or one of the three Arash cars.

[WhyOne?]

.....nope!
:)

[britlude]

i was there so have an unfair advantage....

lets just say there is a spy connection...

[soddy]

wow, some cool wagons there. fair play to the owners allowing people up close to them. the pic of the zhonda with the fella holding his camera over the car would scare a few owners, as it looks a heavy camera, if it slipped.... dread to think lol.

[NZNick]

Ok, second guess is the one and only Spectre R45?

[WhyOne?]

Ok, second guess is the one and only Spectre R45?

Very good Nick!

One of only 23 cars built / sold I believe. This car was in brilliant condition, and looked remarkably well finished and screwed together for a car developed and manufactured by such a small company.

[NZNick]

It is the only R45 - the others are the earlier R42. There was also a motor show car, but I read that that was never made roadworthy.

[WhyOne?]

Interesting!

Obviously someone has now spent some time and money getting it on the road. Good on them.

[britlude]

damn, was that clue too obvious :(

[NZNick]

It wasn't the clue - it was good ol' fashioned memory.

I remember seeing a story on Pistonheads a few years back and thought it was about the Arash Farboud GTS, but after that was wrong I looked again and found this: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=23662

Great pics Johnathan, your hot rod looks really cool.

I went to this last year and it is certainly worth the trip.
