Goodwood Breakfast Club

Has anyone else noticed this new venture from the Goodwood team. They have started a Breakfast Club that meets the first Sunday of every Month, except September which is the weekend of the Track Revival meeting this year. Breakfast served from 0900 to 1300, produce from the Goodwood Organic Farm. For Classic cars, pre and post war, all welcome. This month coming, the 2nd of April, is Italian Sports Car theme.
Check out their site for all details www.goodwood.co.uk/breakfastclub . Perhaps a good opportunity for a Coupe meet.

That'd be just up the road from my parents house. Way too short noticee tho as i'm already down for working that day.

Sounds excellent and the first one got a very good review in Autocar the other week - big turn-out and a good variety of cars.
If only it wasn't 400 miles away from me.

I'd heard of this and will try and go along this Sunday

Had to go to Goodwood today, as you do. Speaking to staff on the Airfield, apparently 600 people plus turned up for the first meet. I won't be able to make it this weekend but maybe in May.

Right I went along with my 6-year old son and it was a great morning!

Nice drive along the Sussex coast, then into Goodwood where you are marshalled into the 'Italian sports car only' area

Dozens and dozens of Ferraris - perhaps a hundred?, a dozen Lambos, a dozen or so Maseratis, loads of Lancias (esp Integrales), old and new, Alfas, Fiat 500s and a small showing of the Fiat X1/9 owners club.

A lovely solitary Alfa SZ, and 2 coops (don't know whose the other was, Silver T-reg).

I think there is only one Italian car day this year, but next year it would make an excellent club or area meet.

It's free too, except for the cost of a bacon buttie & coffee

gutted i couldnt make it, sounds great.

Sunday June 4th is Supercars day at the Breakfast Club.

Anyone else interested in spending their morning surrounded by some of the worlds greatest cars?

Get Mavric down their with his latest coop and suprise a few people

I'm definatly going to be there, is anyone else interested?

Could be up for that, but have to confirm a bit nearer the time .

Phil

Same here if I'm about. Could do a mini-meet in the normal car park I spose as that's where non-supercar drivers will be sent.

Is anyone still up for the Supercars day next Sunday? I won't have the Coupe , but I'd still be on for meeting up in the car park if anyone else is going .

Phil

I'll try and get a pass Phil Will decide on Fri/Sat also depending on the weather.

No problems Rich. I am 'decorating' next weekend with the family away, so if the weather is OK, I'll be there !

Phil

im heading down for this, not sure if the coupe quite cuts the supercar bracket though!!

No just spectating this time. It was a good atmosphere last time, an excuse to have a good drive along the coast on a quiet Sunday morning

Wow, what a morning ! I can honestly say that I have never seen so many exotic cars in one place, and to cap it all, it didn't cost a penny to get in and get up real close .

I took 70 photos and all of them are of lovely cars, so here is a selection for those who couldnt make it (Gumball3000, was that your Coupe in the car park?)

Porsche Carrera GT (one of two there!)

Ferrari 288GTO

Ferrari Daytona & 512BBi (not very modern, but I always wanted a 512 when I was growing up....still do!)

Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale (one of two there)

Ferrari 575 Superamerica

Genuine AC Cobra 427 (one of at least five that I saw )

Ferrari Enzo (sounds awesome from 3ft behind the exhaust )

Ferrari F40

Gallardo

Murcielago

Countach

and my personal favourite

Diablo SV

As you can see, some really nice cars on show . It comes to something when standard 355s, 360s, 430s, 550s, 575s and the like get lost in the crowd...

Phil

how do they get a genuine AC cobra on a 'y' plate?.

Well spotted . That must have been one of the non-original ones !

Phil

Yes that was my coupe Highway man i looked for other coops plus i was hoping to checkout your wheels too! im going to do mine soon, here's my pics including some fromt he pre breakfast run down

I wasn't in my Coupe mate, it's being rebuilt by Auto Integrale at the moment, so I went incognito .

Nice photos ! I was passed by an Ultima GTR racing with a DB9 on the way home . I just wish that I'd been in the Coupe to see if I could have kept up for a while...

Phil

That Diablo was holding me up on the way down! ultima is a different ball game on those roads i think!

Think that was the Daytona that I saw last year at the festival of speed. Was stupidly loud

Anyone going to the festival of speed this year? I'm going down on the saturday 8th (its the world cup final on the sunday).

Chris

This is my brother in law's car ...

It's a 1955 750 Monza, a rare 4 cyl Ferrari. He bought another set of wheels for it the other day. I think they cost more than I paid for my coop!
