Excellent set as always, Biz And yet again, it's like we were following each other about ten paces apart  It's spooky. Mind you, think I was a bit ahead of you this time. The lackey was cleaning the NSX when I got there, but he'd moved onto the Civic for you, and if you'd been a few minutes earlier...

The lackey was cleaning the NSX when I got there, but he'd moved onto the Civic for you Ha ha, that's no lackey, that's Tom - he runs Honda's press and heritage fleets. He was a bit cross about having to clean the cars, having been up all night finding an NSX-R when the original one pulled out. All the cars on the concours lawn had proper valeting teams, and there he was with his cloth... |

I enjoyed the live stream a lot
Bernie Ecclestone is a tiny wee man that I could fit in my pocket.

I was genuinely impressed by the smallness of Bernie, he's like a little Duplo man.
Still undecided about the realness of his hair. Up close it appears to be legit, although I guess if you're a billionaire you can afford to get a decent wig made. But no-one in their right mind would actually choose to have that hair, would they? Ah, but he evidently isn't in his right mind.
It's a minefield. A minefield of befuddling follicles.

I found it so appropriate it almost choked me that an event that's become so all-encompassingly about the filthy lucre as the FoS was solely dedicated to the arch-shyster li'l Bernie. When you went over the bridge it was boarded with huge prints of the Little Big Man himself. The one of him shaking hands with Arab sheiks grinning like circling Makos seemed especially poignant
Honda Tom did an excellent job of cleaning that NSX, it was covered in good healthy Goodwood clay when I saw it. Mind you, Type-R Hondas aren't getting any prettier are they? I couldn't help but wish the line-up finished at the Accord!

Keep an eye on your favourite local newsstand for a road test of that very Accord in the near future...
