walshie 2,804 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Spent a couple of days at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. i'd recommend it to anyone as a "must-do". Been a few times before but not for a few years. Highlights have been some of the "proper" F1 cars of yesteryear, a terriifc Red Arrows display and an RAF Typhoon ripping up the skies for 10 minutes. Makes me proud to be British....oh and Chis Hoy binning his GTR through pure lack of skill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I do it will be on the Lambretta in full 60`s rig out They had a very good selection of bikes. From John Surtees stuff up to Rossi's 2012 Ducati. Have you considered the Revival in September? Never been before, but think I'll give it a bash this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 160 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I went about 3 years ago. Fantastic day out, the smell of those cars will live with me forever. Drank too much, enjoyed myself far too much and would recommend it to anyone with deep pockets and long arms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
