	Hi guys and gals Well this morning me and my dad went to the VSCC sprint at goodwood, i hobbled round for as long as i could stand on my gammy leg, unfortunatly had to come home and rest Excellent turn out though, and some spaktackular machinery. So here some photos - Aero engined Hall Scott Austin special very sideways! J engined Morgan smoking its rear tyre, it actually left a black number 1 for about 35 meters! These were actually using modern motorbike tyres by the looks of things. Some videos, all pretty small - This bugatti sounded lovely, straight eight? s27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/twin_charged/goodwood%20VSCC%20sprint%202006/?action=view¤t=P1050885.flv s27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/twin_charged/goodwood%20VSCC%20sprint%202006/?action=view¤t=P1050873.flv s27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/twin_charged/goodwood%20VSCC%20sprint%202006/?action=view¤t=P1050877.flv Tiny car, austin? s27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/twin_charged/goodwood%20VSCC%20sprint%202006/?action=view¤t=P1050874.flv Morgan giving it beans s27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/twin_charged/goodwood%20VSCC%20sprint%202006/?action=view¤t=P1050871.flv s27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/twin_charged/goodwood%20VSCC%20sprint%202006/?action=view¤t=P1050867.flv Siiiiiiiiiiddddeeeeways s27.photobucket.com/albums/c186/twin_charged/goodwood%20VSCC%20sprint%202006/?action=view¤t=P1050856.flv And here are a few arty ones from the pits - Answers on a post card for the first person to identify this little thing , clue - it had a motorbike engine Cheers guys and gals Big hugs James

	ive just finished reading a book(yes i do own A book ) called " the history of a sports car" written in the early fifties. its about all these crazy old vintage motors. and the writer was saying much the same as we do now" old cars are just a bit more special than the very capable cars of today" and that was the fifties!!!!

	Excellent photos. Love the pointy finger exhaust on no.42 Saw a lot of these doing the support race at Lemans this year and last year. They really nail the hell out of them round that circuit and loads of them got broken. Way to go guys I say!

	Yeah No.42 was interesting, the boat tail was made from strips of plywood, really nice. Me and my dad differ on our favorite types of cars, he likes the very shiny restored ones, i love the ones with 'patina'. I love the fact you can see that they have been used and years of little dings chips and wear all add up, leaving the car feeling almost organic . J

	Thanks for the pics, excellent stuff. I grew up around this stuff, in the garage at home and on the track. I'm beginning to appreciate it even more now after years of denial. I guess it was me rebelling against my dad by buying Street Machine while he read Motorsport and the Automobile. I really fancy something like this again, I've begun to realise unless you build something mega wild and right out there, (which I haven't got the skill and funds for) then a back to basics route is the way for me. Being in the early pit at Classic Le Mans and all that talk of early stuff and land speed records has still got me thinking... Like I said, thanks for the pics. Really cool.

	These vintage cars are great to watch, they sound ace and because of the skinny tyres and tiny brakes everything happens at a much more sedate pace. The aero engine ones seem a little more hairy, being jolly heavy and still on the same tyres and even less brakes! J

	haha, crazy! i left at about 1ish as my leg was killing me, i should have put it in the events section really, we could have coordinated then never mind. Wasnt it a good event though? The selection of vehicles, and the fact that they all got ragged regardless of age or rarity J

	when you took the pic of that big red aero engined thing (top) had there just been a red flag after a green thing (not sure what it was) had some troubles on the line? or did you take it before the lunch break? the guy in that red thing was saying that hes had it upto 115mph, but the wind is rather in your face!!! and that old tatty austin, isnt actually that old, the chassis is original austin, as is the aero engine, but it was only put together in the last few years!

	I have eaten lunch next to that engine many many times as it was in the Ways kitchen! We used to use their farm to make all the economy cars, its a shame edward didnt have either the harker or jameson out to play. The jameson makes over 40psi of boost! monster monster! I had left before the lunch break was up, the afternoon sounded fun J
