I guess show report threads still go in here randomly despite the re-shuffle? Ooookay then... We were in two minds about bothering with the softop breakfast club after the utter horror that previous months' Supercar Sunday has become. However, since I wasn't finishing work at two in the morning this time, we managed to get out of the house at a more sensible 7:00 a.m. which made all the difference. The day possibly had a similar number of cars, but many, many fewer people (not sure that's English, but YKWIM), possibly put off by the suddenly-implemented Goodwood "ticketing" system that appeared to have all the forethought and care of implementation of a Trump legislation... in fact, despite having obtained the email tickets from Goodwood and printed them off, ours weren't checked at any point. So maybe it wasn't that. Maybe it was just the fact that convertibles through the ages attract less of the chav/Shmee/idiot brigade than supercars, who knows? After all, who wants to go and look at 2CVs?  Well, we do. Obviously! How cool is that? It wasn't even the best example, this "Speciale" one rocked my world!    What a difference a month makes, this was properly back to everything that's made Breakfast Clubs great over the years. Mostly, the vive le difference aspect, how one minute you can be admiring the hyper-modern composite flawlessness of a 16M Scuderia engine cover  and the next minute ogling the hand-built extravagant curves of boat-tailed Vauxhall 20/60 Hurlingham, complete with rumble seat for the Monster-in-Law  Quite some mascotry going on, too, for a "humble" Vaux    The kids were actually quite well-behaved (for a change; they seem to have got the idea that no matter how many times they whinge after wanting an ice cream, they only get one at the end. If they haven't been a massive pain in the fox picture). A very tolerant gentleman was kind enough to let them sit in his Ulster '7, which meant a lot more if you'd seen the history file of him building it up from some tatters of leather and dustpan full of rust. And don't they just look like an old married couple out for a Sunday drive?  despite being much improved for the departure of moon-sized egos, Top Gear hated the new MX-5 based Abarth Fiat 124 spider. They're wrong, I think they look great  Italian carrozzeria styling isn't just for Italians, y'know.   Most Mercedes have passed me by over the years... they've all look the same for about four decades, haven't they? Except the hideous ones? Well, it appears bigotry is to be challenged. These are hard to ignore;  (also hard to ignore getting photobombed by my own offspring, the tiny loony)  One of the great things about a day entirely given over to convertibles is that you get a chance to ogle the dashes and interiors that are often hidden away by windows and doors and stuff.    You know when a car just doesn't look quite right and you can't put your finger on why? I loved this 250 SWB GT but for some reason I just couldn't reassure myself it was genuine. If it's a Z3 underneath then it's a very good conversion, and I apolgise unreservedly if it's an actual thing. Does look good whatever, though, doesn't it? I'd rather see one of these than ten plastic modern committee-built Ferraris    Genuinely can't remember the last time I saw a Pug 304. Can't remember ever seeing a cabriolet one  Pretty sure this is a replica, but again, who cares? Besides, who in their right mind would potter through abysmal Sussex traffic in something as uncomfortable, uncompromising and downright expensive as a real 550 Spyder?  I think it's fair to say not all cars lend themselves to being roofless. This is often especially true of ones conceived as an hardtop and then given the Makita crop. Exhibit A for the prosecution;  ...and Exhibit B. I mean, what the hell went wrong?  Ahhh, a proper ragtop Porsche to make amends. That's better  And exhibit C. Yeah, I know taste is personal but if you need to weld in bits of I-beam to take the roof off, you're probably doing it wrong. I love a 2002 coupe, but this upsets me  Sometimes it's hard to remember AC had a life before Shelby, and were quite capable of churning out excellent cars without any help from the Yanks. Such as this 16-80 Sports Roadster; favourite clock of the day, mascot has some sort of awful genetic deformity going wrong with its legs    Try and stare it down, go on. I dare you. Bet you blink first  Funny how when you see a nice Alfa Spider it really throws up how it can be a mistake keeping things alive past their natural lifespan. (Rubber Duettos, I'm talkin to you)  Plenty of flying bedsteads. Good job it didn't rain then!  This, too, is a replica. I know cos I googled the numberplate. But then, find another DBR1...  ....errrrm.... oh, look, here's one  OK, so two DBR1 reps then. Well, what's not to like about that? After all, Sir Stirling Moss liked one of them well enough to sign its numberboard, and if it's good enough for him then it sure as hell ought to be good enough for us  ]       Honestly, have there ever been better curves than 50s sportscars? You can see why people want to re-create them. Lovely though they are, they weren't even my favourite Astons on the day;  This thing is just awesome. I want it   More in a bit. Gotta go do another coat of paint in the garage. Hopefully the remainder of this thread will prove more interesting than watching it dry |

or maybe not... Bah, run out of gloss. Might as well plod on OK then, you can have one vulgar modern plastic thing. But only one  Bentley. Used to be a thing of brutal purity and sporting prowess. Now a thing of belching puerility and unsporting repugnance... well, footballers own them. I prefer the old way, myself  This all looks suspiciously new, mind you    This is a biplane. It's here soley because I took a photo of it, not because of any faint relevance it might have. But it does have an open cabin, I suppose  This was one of the cars of the day for me (and for a lot of others, to be fair... we spent quite a while discussing the outright lunacy of its construction with equally disbelieving punters)  It's mad. Genuinely, box-of-frogs mental. And don't let the names like Bond "Tourer" or "coupe" fool you into thinking there's any vestige of civility in here.  The only person who'd tour in this would be either so mental they make Spike Milligan look like a geography teacher or so hard they'd make Frankie Fraser think twice.  Why so mad? Well, ignoring the spartan interior that hardly looks like a luxurious "tourer"... nor a sporty "coupe"...this little Bond dates from a much simpler time (1958) when times were hard, money was sparse, cars were stupidly expensive and stupidly taxed (export or die, remember?) and a full driving license wasn't for everyone. Fortunately, you could drive a three-wheeled motor transport on a bike license and many did. The post-war equivalent of the cyclecar was the solution, and many tikes of varying scariness and flimsiness of construction proliferated. You can still buy a Morgan version if you like, and don't mind waiting while it's whittled out of a tree by men in overalls. Bond's solution was extremely prosaic. Take a small Villiers motorcycle, cut it in half and bolt the half with the engine and drive to the steering column of a lightweight (read; flimsy) alloy and tupperware car-like object. And that's it. No, really, that's all there is to it.  Can you say "bump steer", children? Mad. Just downright mental I'm sure my sister had a Matchbox buggy exactly like this. I wonder if that was the inspiration? The Matchbox car, not my sister.  C-Types. Lovely.    Like I already said, the best thing about 'verts is being able to peer into the inner sanctum that's usually hidden. I mean, I'd have been happy with the outside of this Camaro (a '68ish, I think)  ...but it was a real bonus to be able to trunk about inside and note all the cool details like the aircraft-inspired gauges and "throttle" gearchange  Camaros have always had cooler dash clusters than their arch-rival Mustangs (IMHO)... we'll gloss over the Five-Oh and IROC wilderness years... and still have. This one also has what, if it were a Mopar, would be called a tick tock tach. Y'see, it's got a clock. In the rev counter, see? It's a tick tock ta... you see what they've done there? So cool. Yes it is I took this photo one-handed whilst holding a bacon sarndwidch with the other and trying not to let the grease congeal down my wrist like a pig-fat candle. Who says men can't multi-task, eh?  Cobra. Not real. Still cool  I love a MkII Jaaaaag... I grew up watching the Sweeney, after all... but somehow there's something all the more exclusive and yet still infinitely caddish about the Daimler 250. And it's got a V8. Designed by a motorcycle engineer.... possibly the motorcycle engineer, in fact. Which makes it even more awesome.   By stark contrast, there's absolutely nothing cool or admirable about what should have remained some kind of acme of automotive taste and desirability. I suppose plenty of Rollers historically were specced by owners rich and isolated enough to be beyond mere tawdry constraints of good taste but all those gold-plated be-chandeliered Maharaja chariots and railroad tycoon mobile gin palaces have now become awe-inspiring period kitsch, whereas modern Rollers are vile excrescences aspired to by the sort of people who, were they unable to kick a football, would still be stealing car stereos on the estate. White and crimson upholstery. Just read that last sentence again, yeah? and let it sink in. The only bit of this car I like is the "Power Reserve" gauge.  And yet strangely, this Daytona (rep?) was similarly upholstered in a similar texture of leather wierdness that made you wonder if it was carved from the hide of adult Muppets and an equally questionable hue that probably doesn't even have a colour name outside the charts of one of the more expensive "Heritage Specials" paint companies... yet it just seems to work. Hey, I never claimed I wasn't fickle  Is it real? Place your bets. Nice grigio colour regardless  Lotusses abound. I like a nice, pert Elan because they make me think of Diana Rigg  I'm sure Colin Chapman, originator of the much-cliched "simplicate* and add lightness" adage, would have approved of modern Lotusses still holding true to that vision and making the sidesteps so light and ephemeral that you can't risk putting any weight on them. Whether he'd approved of selling them to customers so clumsy and dim they needed a constant reminder not to stand on any parts of their car is another matter.  I've nothing to say about this photo. I don't want to spoil it  Is this the same model as Barbie used to drive? I'm sorry to let the positivity thing slip a bit, but my hatred for Golfs in general is in no way alleviated by this monstrosity  Even the Healeys were laughing at it  Not true, it's just a happy Healey. And so would you be, cos it's an extremely hardcore Healey. Take a closer look at the badge and you'll see why  My wife made me take photos of this Jensen Healey... I thought showing rare taste and understanding of what an under-appreciated British classic they are and that one day they'll shed their ugly duckling plumage of misunderstanding and rise as a beautiful swan to take their place at the top table of Great British Iron. Nope. She liked it because it was yellow. I hate yellow on a car. You can have a wheel, and count yourselves lucky  And speaking of under-appreciated British classics, how about an Armstrong-Siddeley? One of my favourites (in general as well as on the day), this Hurricane - and what a great name, by the way - had just the right amount of use and miss-use worn well on her face. One of my favourite mascots as well; a journalist at the time commented that an early sleeve-valve Armstrong-Siddeley drove "as silent and inscrutable as the Sphinx" and JD Siddeley liked the phrase so much he adopted the mascot for his own.      And linking seamlessly from Hurricanes, have some more planes. Just becos   *"simplicate" not actually a word. Don't blame me, I didn't make it up |

There's a bit of a 2CV theme to this thread, it seems. Here's another, only it's one wearing a negligee instead of full body. And she's an amputee. Strangely sexy...   I was trying to photograph this Lotus 11 (I think it's an 11, happy to be contradicted) when I got accosted by one of "those" enthusiasts... y'know, the sort with that slightly adenoidal bus-spotters' voice who judge every car with a sentence starting "I suppose it's quite a good replica, but..." Anyway, we couldn't agree on whether it was a replica in the end, but did at least reach accord that the headrest looked decidedly peculiar. And then I ran away before he could get me trapped in a corner  I generally have no interest in BMWs, ancient or modern. Especially modern. However, I do like shiny things. Even Mrs L7 was moved to comment on how anyone with a convertible M6 covered in spectraflare wrap was probably trying too hard. Well, she didn't use those exact words, but you get the idea  This is funny. The weight of the giant electromagnetic bell alone must have dropped the max speed considerably! And should you actually catch anyone, you couldn't actually arrest them as there's nowhere for them to sit. Errrm. Toys for the boys?   Here's a bit of a slightly more normal MGA. Because I liked the patination ....alright, cracking... on the steering wheel emblem   I shouldn't have taken this because the car was a hard-top and we oughtn't encourage fools blagging their way onto the track in defiance of The Theme, no matter how expensive their car is. But it's such a nice colour I couldn't help myself. It's one of those McLarens that's named after a Casio calculator  And here's another. I couldn't decide which one I preferred, the colour or the carbon, so you'll have to make do with both. The modern McLaren emblem is derived from the little kiwi picture that Bruce and Denny used to have on their racers, although it's been stylised by Graphic Design Fairies to the point where it could be anything. Mrs L7 thought it was "that thing Captain Kirk used to have on his jumper". At least this MP4-12C was a Spider so you can have a photo of it. And it was funny watching the guy sweat trying to manouvre it out of a narrow squeak with about eleventy hundred punters watching   Gotta have a 'Stang. In homage to great Fords of the past, this one's painted Essex Stiletto White  Fortunately, there were some rather more retro examples. I love the colours of this '65. especially the upholstery, even more so cos it's rocking the "Pony Seats" option. Soooooooo awesome, so tasteless, so bright, so colours that ceased to exist in the wild circa 1973   ...see? Handily enough, here's a '73. See how, like everything else in the 1970s, it's a mix of beige and brown? Now, don't go making the mistake of calling it "gold". That's what they want you to think  More ponies. They migrated to the outside  I do love a nice strip speedo, but it somehow seems a little out-of-place on what was supposed to be a sporty car. Errrm, likewise the lack of a clutch pedal and giant two pedals that are included. Never mind, still lovely, innit  Another flying bedstead which I forgot to include with the others. Ahem. I love these Nomad things, I could see meself with one of these whereas the more "ordinary" Atoms leave me rather unmoved. I'd want one in matt black and tricked out like it had just crawled out of a Mad Max movie though  This is another plane. Get over it  This is a tiny little bit of Jaguar. It's the only bit I liked  Every so often these days throw up something utterly unusual and unexpected. And that's a good thing. On this occasion, it threw up something that, in England anyway, must be to all intents and purposes, unique  This is the spiritual great-grandfather to all the millions of overblown, bloated iterations of Jeep that you see on school runs and outside Habitat stores everywhere. It's a 1910 Overland, the company that went on to be Willys-Overland, and via any numbers of mergers, ended up peculiarly smunched in with Chrysler-Fiat and now we have Jeeps where a rear light styled to look like a Jerry can is considered a good thing. I only mention it cos it still makes me angry to think about it.  Anyway, I love veteran brass cars at the best of times, and this one was superb. I can spend ages taking in all the details; like the almost complete lack of brakes, the tyre vlaves that are like industrial-sized brass buttplugs...  ...the beautifully three-dimensional nameplate, the huge brass acetylene lamps...  ...that if you look closely have been converted to LED operation in a nicely discreet fashion. Then there's the speedo drive that you really wouldn't want to get your finger trapped in;  And the superb engraved Monocle windscreen which, despite being a righteous big chunk of glass, you still can't imagine giving much in the way of comfort in a driving rainstorm  But most important of all, it has a giant bulb horn that makes a comical "Awoooah-hahh" noise. But no, not in a John Fashanu style  For atmos. Darlingks  I forgot to take any other photos of this Riley, so I can't tell you what it is. But it does have a nice, shiny grouse mascot  and speaking of cool mascots, how about this wonderfully grumpy Viking on an old Rover 10?   This was a groovy car, and I liked the little touches like the Shell spirit can on the running board. Although it seems what they might on the Antiques Roadshow accuse of being rather "over-restored"  Errrm. Sorry. I still can't work out if this is class or ass. You decide  I'd have loved to find out (but sadly, didn't) what it was that made this Spitfire's bonnet prolapse so alarmingly. I assume there's a V8 or some equally preposterous lump under there.   There were a breeding pair of Jaguars' first great big cat... we'll ignore all those silly Austin 7 rebodies they'd been messing about with previously. I do love an SS100. Though I can see why they changed the name. The red one was cool enough, the Afrika Corps-coloured one monstered my world. Yes, I know the Afrika Corps weren't SS but I'm doing my best here. Work with me. Anyway, who couldn't love a car with headlights like that?      |

Sorry, I was traumatised by ownership of a MkI Golf. Worst car I ever owned by quite some margin. Most memorable failure was the clutch cable peeling the bulkhead in like a tuna can. Whilst in the middle of a huge roundabout. In rush hour. I later found out from an ex-VW mechanic that mine had never had the "RHD conversion kit" applied... evidently this was a thick washer threaded over the cable and welded to the bulkhead  . Still something of a mystery where the VW myth of quality engineering and reliability originated from Anyhoo, lets get this finished shall we? I'm already two shows behind and off to Goodwood for two days this weekend pretty much guarantees another 2000 photos to sort out  I think stag tails are called scuts aren't they? Or is that bunnies? Anyway, here's a row of what may or may not be Stag scuts  Another one of those special cars that make you go "Wow!". This one's a bit of a regular, as the owners live just down towards the harbours from Goodwood. It might look ludicrous to us in 2017, but a hundred years ago when this was built, there was no definite answer as to whether the future of personal road transport lay in petrol, electric... or steam  The dude drives this on tours with the steam vehicle club. His personal best is close to 60mph, but it'll apparently do more than that, he just ran out of bravery! Since it has no transmission, it has no trans brake like similar cars of period and thus all the braking is done by two drums on the rear axle, around 4" diameter! Zoinks! He says it's not the speed that's the problem, it's losing it again that's the real challenge. He's thought about upgrading it but doesn't want to lose the originality; the only nod to modern traffic is a couple of rear lights he's put on... though it could do with a big sign that says "I am actually braking, please don't rear-end me!". At least the lights came from a Vincent Black Shadow, so they're pretty cool  Evidently there's a category for steam at the FoS Concourse this year. Part of the criteria for entry is that the flunkies running the show have to have custody of all the cars' ignition keys in case they need moving. The dude showed me the Stanley's "ignition key". It's a self-lighting butane torch  How about another astonishing survivor, then? Four years older than the Stanley, this is a 1910 Star 15hp. Yep, fifteen horsepowers for all that car!  This behemoth dates from a time when plastic was not yet a thing, and thus cars were made from wood, wicker...  ...brass, and optimism  And they had achingly cool mascots, of course. One day I'll finish my thread about the heraldry of car mascots. It's only about 1500 photos long already  How much better would a Stingray have been if the "Stinger" hood had actually been functional. As it is, it's about as worthless as those faux hexagon solid "grilles" where poverty-spec cars haven't had foglights specced... although much more better looking   Early corvettes still rock about the best interiors of an 'Murican car (IMHO). Sad to think of the acres of eezee-fade plastic that mutilate the ambience on later models  This Sunbeam-Talbot was celebrating her birthday. How could you tell? She had a balloon to prove it   I don't remember taking this, I'm not even that keen on early Midgets. But that said, it is a nice example  The owner of this Alvis TE21 was generous enough to allow the kids to jump in his P&J. He was impressed that the Boy wound the window down. "He's stronger than he looks" he laughed. Aerobic window winders were not for the feeble of wrist in those days!   Lots of Triumph's finest(s), as you'd kinda expect really. I loved very much this TR6 that looked hard as Uncle Ernie at school kicking out time   Had to allow Mrs L7 one yellow car at least  Typically humble British period badgery. Grossbritannien, Grossbritannien uber alles...  Can't remember whose engine bay this was, I just liked the Standard-Triumph logo stud things  More Trevors. And a plastic Hethel thing  I never get tired of photographing TVRs. The curves. It's the curves, you see   *cough* sorry, wrong forum  Vitesse. Angry. GRRRRRRR! ....or just boss-eyed?  This is a Vuhl. Apparently pronounced "Vool" but I always read it as "Vole". I like it better that way. Like all the modern crop of trackday things, it looks great, especially in the details, but you maybe wouldn't want to tour in one    It's weird, who ever thought that the humble Griffin would be the more exclusive and interesting version of any car? It's true though. Overlooked by most in favour of her more prolific Lotus-badged siblings, they ignore the fact that a) it's the same car, only with more power and a more reliable engine setup and b) it looks better. So does. It's my thread, so I'm right.  Whatever happened to all the X1/9s?  Actually, don't answer that. We all know what happened to them, they dissolved. Which is a shame, because they look superb (compare to early MR2s/Pontiac Fieros to see just how badly wrong/ugly designers have managed to get the same concept). And that blue, what a colour! And yeah, they may be slow in a straight line, but then I had an MR2 that flopped over onto its doorhandles every time you showed it a corner, so what does that prove?     Another one of those ridiculous yet somehow enchanting trackday bits of nonsense, then. How these things can enter GT champeenships is beyond me. Grand Tourer? Errrrm, no. Groovy, yes    Plenty of XKs in various flavours. This was my favourite by quite some margin, mostly due solely to the colour. I'm fickle. And shallow. But look at those curves! Voluptuous is the first word that springs to mind...   And to finish, some arbitrary bits of BMW. Purely because the Photobucket album was in alphabetical order and they're Zs. And also because I don't generally like BMWs enough to take many photos of them, especially not in their entirety (see M6 above). Do like the LED strip side repeaters on the Z8. Don't see that they justify the price tag, though    And so we've reached the finish line. Well, the start/finish line. The lack of cars racked all along the grid on this occasion gave us a chance to get foolish photos of the kids lining up for a lap. They didn't make a lap, more like fifty yards, but the li'l 'un stole a march by shamelessly jumping the start and leaving the Boy standing. That's my girl. When in doubt; cheat  That's yer lot then. Thanks for reading, as always. Until next time, go away |

 That belongs to my oldest friend Mr. E, or Mr Toad if you are being unkind.... It is a replica but quite a good one. Goes quite well for what it is. Great pictures, thanks for sharing. P. Edit - tried to insert the picture of the 718 but failed.... |
