Players Classic @ Goodwood - June 2015

There's already threads on RR for this show but I guess Retro-Rides can cope with another.

First of all, my usual disclaimer applies: annoying camera, dodgy crops, blah blah, excuses, apology, etc. You know the drill.
Secondly, I suffered for these shots. Not for the first time this year I've found myself with mildly uncomfortable leg pain. I can only blame myself really, as I do take a lot of shots from the viewpoint of an insect but it's only the day after a show that I realise that what I've actually done is spent all day doing squats. Ouch.

Before we get into the photos, I'll offer my opinion on the show - I liked it a lot. I don't mind a well-finished 'stanced' car so I'm obviously at an advantage, but there's plenty of little touches that make most of these cars worth checking out. Sure, there's a formula - but when it means there's a load of slammed shiny cars I'm not complaining. It's certainly better than the Max Power cars that used to occupy the younger end of the modifying culture and (in my opinion) more interesting than a load of blue Subarus with gold wheels and some fives stuck on the side.


This is only a small section of the show. It's proper busy, bro.

After parking in the general parking section (where there were still some interesting rides to be seen), the first thing you'll see is the hardstanding area. Not full-on show stuff in most cases, but good enough to waste time checking out. The first thing that really caught me eye was this VIP'd Lexus:




Wiv slanty rimz an' everyfink. Tasty.


It's another one. Parked in front of a hedge - I'm not really a garden or topiary admirer but Goodwood has some quality hedgework. It makes you proud to be British.
