    Goodwood Festival of Speed

    in Off Topic Discussion

    Posted

    I went to Goodwood in 2014 and absolutely loved it. Need to go again.  I had free 4 day passes through work thanks to a project we did with them.  Friday was the most enjoyable day as it was much quieter, and all the cars were testing up the hill so still got to see plenty, and had the pick of the grandstands so moved around a lot.  Saturday was okay, but Sunday was unbearably busy.  Did get to see Chris Hoy's crash in the GTR though, i was right on that corner when it happened.

     

    Closest hotel i could get was 30 miles away though. 🤪

    15 minute city.... Oxford

    This is an old article... pretty sure they've already implemented this.  I keep seeing videos on TikTok of residents revolting, and breaking down barriers to drive through etc.

     

    Its disgusting - how can the council implement something which inconveniences residents to such a degree... i'm not one for rioting, but i'd be going to war if they did this around me!

     

    Edit: here's similar to what i've seen:

    Got some answers to my questions... i'm not going to follow up, but may be worth a punt if anyone's interested!

     

     

    Q: Is this your car, and do you know any more about its history?
    A: The car is jointly owned by myself and my son. Have more on the history if you are serious about it?

     

    Q: Why has it been off the road for so long?
    A:Mostly due to the cost of getting it insured taxed etc for a very few outings in the summer.

     

    Q: Has it had much use on track?
    A: We have not had it on a track, previous owner did some track days but we dont have any details from him.

     

    Q: Are there any problems with it currently?
    A: A sensor fault comes and goes, and we have noticed some white vapour from the exhausts, it needs good service and going over before being ready for the road due to being sat for some long.

     

    Q: How reliable is it when on the road - does it need constant fettling given the mods or is it daily-driver worthy?
    A: Never let us down, but its not a daily drive in my view.

     

    Q: Do you have any interior or under bonnet pics?
    A: Will be getting some photos later today as seeing my son who has the car.

     

    Q: Should it pass an MOT in its current state?
    A: With a little checking over first yes.

     

    Q: Would you be prepared to attempt to put it through one before purchase?
    A: No sorry.

    I've pinged the seller a message, will see what they say.  Given the fairly cryptic advert i'm not holding my breath for a useful response.  I'll share on here if i get a response.

     

    I dont think i want the car tbh... i've got a 1968 Mustang which i hardly drive because of the headaches of owning such a car... i just want a turn key car that doesn't require much thought...
