End of Day 3, and the end of the Festival
Bought another 3 1:18ths, worth £140 in total, which I got for a total of £60. Ahh, the glories of end-of-show bargin hunting.
Highlights: The burnouts, from Gary Paffett (who set the brakes of the SLR on fire from the constant abuse), from Jenson Button (
see the video!) and from Jeremy McWilliams, who manganed to leave a line of rubber almost the entire length of the hill on a BMW bike.
The Festival is absolutly amazing. But to make the weekend that little bit more special, the best piece of advice I can give is this:
Stay late.
Stay as late as you can. The crowds disappear, quite a few of the cars are still out on display in the paddock, and (on Sunday) they have prizegiving, after which Lord March throws open the doors of Goodwood House and lets anyone and everyone in. Which means you can have a natter with Dan Gurney or Alan Jones, for example, over a free glass of champagne and a piece of cake. Also gives the opportunity to do something I now try to do after every Festival and Revival Meeting: go up to Lord March and personally thank him.
Time to have a wander through James' thread.

I'm also back, oh and Roo I may of been standing a couple meters from you lol. Why do I say this, well someone looking at the Mini Cooper Rally car looked like you?
If it was in the afternoon, then it probably was me. You should've come and said hello.

But does anyone know when the 2006 FOS will be on TV?
It's usually on about a week after the show, so look out for it next weekend.
