Goodwood Revival - part 3

Here are some more pictures from Goodwood Revival.  It was a great event.  I want to go again next year.  Many of the cars were great.

I had the Daimler out this weekend, it was so much fun to get it out, running about doing errands.

One of the elements that I really enjoyed was the racing.  And oddly enough the racing I enjoyed the most was probably the slowest - it was watching the A35's racing.  It was brilliant.

One of the other things I realised over the weekend was that I drive my Daimler too kindly.  I need to drive it more and not worry about breaking it.  It was great to see so many old cars that had driven down.

 

 

Goodwood Revival

We went to the Goodwood Revival at the weekend.  If you like old cars you must go.  I have wanted to go for a few years - finally managed it.  The car park alone is worth the trip down.  I was like a kid in a sweet shop, so much to see, even before we went through the gate.

The weekend started well when we arrived at our B&B - the owners had a Series 3 v12 E-type Jag in the gargage that they showed us when they realised why we had gone down.

The countryside is beautiful and the Goodwood estate and track is lovely.

I have attached a few pics, more to come over the next few days

 

 

 

 

 

 

A kind of offer

Last weekend I had parked the Daimler in a local market town.  It was left outside of a pub for about an hour whilst we went to the bank, shopping etc.  When we got back a chap stopped me, admired the car and asked me what I wanted to sell him the car.  I suggested a price which was a few £thousand more than I would expect to get for it.  He continued to call me for a few days and then promised to ring with his best offer.  Of course he did not ring. 

It was a useful experience as it confirmed to me that I wanted to keep the car rather than make a few pounds.
