The weather driving down to Goodwood was absolutely horrible, with loads of standing water, though this had the amusing side effect of me being able to generally blast along the B roads faster than the Porsche 911 RS 2.7 that was following me. It actually stopped raining by the time I got there and I quickly saw two reprobates waving in my direction. However much I tried to ignore them Messrs Barrett and Gary Cox soon came over. We waited a short while to be joined by MarkBognor from the blue forum. It was most enjoyable to wander round and poke fun at/deeply discuss various of the automobiles that had turned up. The theme was 'Continental Classics' but since numbers were down various others were also dotted about. Here's some of the Scat interest.
'Not the usual blue/yellow one' was the first thought on seeing this Multipla.
Tasty looking Deek.
Pert foren backsides.
This Amazon was hopeless/good.
It was complete with the rare gaffer tape and overspray on the tyre options very few owners originally specified.
But the rarest and most sought after feature in Amazon circles is the wooden wedge to hold the passenger window up.
This was a proper looking Capri.
It was ripe for discussion.
A classic combination of combis.
The Skoda had cleverly made laser cut stainless steel badges to presumably replace the originals. These had been ever so delicately fitted using relatively large self tappers.
Nice rather careworn ripple 2CV van thing.
Much love for the Traction from these quarters but no lust for ownership from me.
I think this chap is saying to himself 'OMGWTFBBQ!'
More good Citroen content.
One minute these SAABs were all lined up and the next they'd naturally fallen into a formation.
I think we must have spent at least five minutes finding loads of things wrong with the styling and general fit and finish of this plastic car.
Then we played 'Identify the tailight while looking like a twonk' with another plastic car.
This was Rivolting. (can you see what I did there?)
A VW with greater Porsche content than most of this model.
Not sold on the frogeye style.
Finally here's Barrett giving the thumbs up to his second favourite car of the day, having realised that he'd only taken four photos while at Goodwood, three of the Skoda and then one of this.
There will now be an intermission. This reasonably replicates the actual day since we were all quite cold enough and were generously invited back to Mark's place for a warming drink.
