Goodwood
My wife and I attended the Goodwood Revival a month ago. Simply amazing. There is no good way to describe it. Just go.
Every car was magnificent. There were five Cobras. I got their pictures in the paddock but when I tried to upload them the system said they were too big to upload. Per the program they were...

I went in my Kirkham and was able to park in the pre-'66 car park. I really is an excellent event.
It is almost worth going just to look around the car park. Some of the highlights included a couple of 4½ "Blower" Bentleys, 275 GTB/4 and 250 GT Lusso Ferraris, DB4 GT Zagato Aston, my Kirkham. ;) :3DSMILE: Seriously though, a number of people came up to me and were thrilled to see an "actual" Kirkham. They seemed more excited than if it was a genuine Cobra. I wonder if we'll ever get to the point of having replica Kirkhams. :LOL: :LOL: If you get the opportunity to go to the Goodwood Revival, don't let it pass by. You won't regret it. I would also strongly recommend that you go dressed in period attire. Paul |

It is a truly unique event. A step back in time to the classic years of auto racing. I was fortunate enough to go few years ago. Amazing to see valuable historic cars racing on the track and driven hard. I hope to go back one day.

JDean, I also went there a couple of years ago and have picture's in my profile. But sorry to say not one cobra finished. Two wreaked and the others had engine problems. Overall what a great time and you can't go wrong just walking through the parking lot and looking at all the cars.
