| This year me and my brother are going down to the Goodwood festival Of Speed, and I was wondering if anyone else was planning to pay it a visit. I've being wanting to go for a few years now but various things kept coming up. So nothing gonna stop me this year. Tickets bought and campsite booked, and thankfully my octy has enough boot space for one or two cans of alcoholic beverages. Lets hope the sun is shining. |

| Re: Goodwood Festival Of Speed Is there anyone out there going to be travelling further than me? Are you going for the whole weekend gmaster. Can't wait for it myself either, and it's going to come round fast as work so hectic at the minute. But means more spending money. |

| Re: Goodwood Festival Of Speed - 22-24 June Saturday for me. It was excellent last year. Seems Sunday is the day to go this year as thats when the F1 cars are out. Saying that - it was the same situation last year, but they still came out for a play mid-afternoon on saturday last year. A great day out
