It's quite likely Reasons to be Cheerful 1) It's my fave UK track (and close to the Volcano Lair, relatively) 2) It's within Goddess range without breaking the bank 3) Pitstop is happy to drive 'La Vie en Bleu' there 4) It's the Healey's home track BUT 5) The SpridJET may be in startable condition and I need to get it there to discuss future safety aspects with the course bigwigs (two birds, one stone sort of thing). Jet fuel flavoured marshmallow cookout competition anyone? 6) Goodwood needs these sort of events otherwise it's a rich man's racing museum and spectacle. 7) I've been on single make Goodwood weekends and had a bl00dy good time so with Retro Rides it should be awesome. 8) It's got proper lavs so SWMBO will be happy. It would be good if I could get the imaginary Mrs BC to an RR event There are places on the internet that can help you fill that large gap in your life

I love the idea. I was there at the 2007 show and it was amazing to see the virtual world come alive there. Good fun had too. Lots happened since then, can't believe it's 9 years now! It's mega distance from the North and not sure if the Cortina or I can do that kind of distance but very interested all the same.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

I was there at the beginning, I really need to be there at the 10th anniversary! Dates as soon as would be good too as we have a big camping trip planned around then with friends for my 40th.
In a BC way, I may be able to convince Mrs Speedman and small to come along too, maybe not the full weekend, but for a day trip in the Beetle as its only 50 miles from us.

Sad, very very sad but there's always 2018 to hope fervently for.

Sorry just to clarify because I'm not 100% clear in understanding- you are saying yes? It's quite likely Reasons to be Cheerful 1) It's my fave UK track (and close to the Volcano Lair, relatively) 2) It's within Goddess range without breaking the bank 3) Pitstop is happy to drive 'La Vie en Bleu' there 4) It's the Healey's home track BUT 5) The SpridJET may be in startable condition and I need to get it there to discuss future safety aspects with the course bigwigs (two birds, one stone sort of thing). Jet fuel flavoured marshmallow cookout competition anyone? 6) Goodwood needs these sort of events otherwise it's a rich man's racing museum and spectacle. 7) I've been on single make Goodwood weekends and had a bl00dy good time so with Retro Rides it should be awesome. 8) It's got proper lavs so SWMBO will be happy. I'll have to come and say hello, might even see if Goddess 583 XUR can be taken too. Must've seen you on RSoles..

Yeah just to clarify we're looking at 2018 for this now, as it is such a big undertaking and I don't think my brain can cope with it at the moment. However... We're looking to do an RR weekender at Haynes in the summer next year, just camping really, an excuse to get together. Seeing as we're not doing the Summer Holiday next year maybe it will be our staycation ... not going to advertise it massively just on here and numbers are limited (but I'm happy to not hit that limit). Just working out dates as my original dates won't work as they are re-doing the back field and I want to park up in that field on Sunday.
