I do like the fact all the Goodwood cars are decent BMWs now.
Great photos people.

So LR knew how unreliable their cars were - they even gave you a Defender tow truck with your first Defender purchase!

Thanks for organising such an awesome event again Paul! Pity about the weather, but some awesome fun on the A and B roads around the South Downs playing with the traction control!

Here's a pic from Harry Elliott Photography of my car on track. Love it.

For those of you that wanted to know the 327 and 328 pictured in the BMW HQ showroom were originally imported into this country by Fraser Nash and were rebadged by them as Fraser Nash BMW. The 328 two seater can rightfully claim to be the forerunner of the modern generation Zs.

Thanks for organising a great day out Paul, but could you please have a word in the weather genies ear next year and make sure we have a little more sunshine.

@EnthuZiaZT I can ask but I might need a helping hand. First time in the four years it’s rained. So 1 in 4 I think is a good odds as it’s right at the end of September. Will try for a summer event next year.

Is this an annual event then, @pgunter ?

I think it was just the three of us (plus wives) in the new control tower cafe.

Great to read you made it @Mazza

Was a good day. Bit soggy but was good to meet some new people.

Hit a pheasant on the way home and f**ked my splitter though

@ktnez99 it has been. As is the New Forest although next year it might be a little different. Already working on next years events.

reddyzeddygo · Oct 1, 2019

Many thanks to Paul for organising the day for us all. Great to get the 'awesome 1.9i' onto the Goodwood grid

Sounds great! Will keep my eyes open for you posting details. The Goodwood event very much appeals albeit a wee way away necessitating an overnight stay or two.

Hey everyone, thanks for a great first meet despite the rain. Here's the photos I took that didn't turn out completely tragic... some iPhone and some Go Pro. Cheers, Stu
