I think I'll try to go to this as I haven't been for a long while and it's the last of the season. On Sunday 4th. November and starts promptly at 8.00 am so not for the feint hearted! I'll wait at the Lidl carpark (opposite Sainsburys and McDonalds)- [Portfield Way (A285)- just off the large A27 roundabout] until 7:45 if anyone else may be interested. Take a look: http://www.goodwood.co.uk/breakfast-club/whats-on/events/bc-november.aspxIt's been a good thing to do in the past and perhaps the subject matter may bring some rare beasts out? Breakfast is good if a little on the expensive side but nothing like the cost of going to the Goodwood Revival and entry is FREE! It finishes at 12 noon so doesn't take up the whole day- unless anyones up for a sneeky roast at the George at Eartham afterwards? Just reply if you are interested.

Weather permitting (my hair goes frizzy in the rain, well tha's when I can be bothered to get it out the airing cupboard ), we'll be there. I've never been to one of these.

Have a LOOK Oh, and "the Boss" approves, it had to be: Practical, 4WD and as a bonus, it's already been tweaked enough to keep me happy in the short term but I think I've got a few ideas up my sleeve. I'm picking it up on Saturday Attendance is looking increasing unlikely (due to 8yr olds B.day celebrations) that I be able to make it I'd rather be ten-pin bowling with 10 other lovely children anyway, not!

This is no "tractor" mate, I recon it's been lowered on it's adjustable suspension by about 50mm, just take a look at a standard one and you'll notice quite a difference! What with Impreza underpinnings and WRX/STI power upgrades, it is indeed no slouch. It is the road tax and the running costs that make go ouch I don't do many miles, so mpg isn't a crucial issue. I run a better system, spm, smile per mile. This has it by the bucket load, a real Q-car. I have a few ideas as to what to do with it next It has been confirmed today that the 4th is a "no go" I afraid but I'll pop down one weekend and well go for a drive and see how many Grannies we can pick up fit in he back on a run along the prom Have fun, Ross.

No it was still on but was the quietest BC I can remember, very hairy drive down from Fareham with lots of deep puddles/rivers on the A27.
I took the coupe and displayed it on the grid which was a first, some very brave people turned up with nice Ferraris and a Lambo. Had a good chat with some old mates and a couple of coffees so all in all better than spending the morning gloss painting!
Well worth doing these but to be honest you need to be there by 0730 on the busier days.
If all else fails read the instructions
