Glorious Goodwood

Wow. Another throughly excellent day at the Goodwood Revival.

Some outstanding cars were on display, but the Revival is so much more than a car show, the atmosphere, the effort people put into the costumes and sense of occassion all add up to make it one of the ‘must attend’ events for anyone who loves classic motoring

Mini Cooper S at Madgwick Corner

This year was even better, since as the Mini was celebrating it’s 50th anniversary, the little car received some extra attention. From Mr Bean driving his Mini around from the roof, to the 30 Cooper S’ (well, 29 Cooper S’ and a lone Hornet) battling it out for the St. Mary Trophy, Goodwood 2009 was all about the world’s favourite small car, and I thought it was fantastic. From the ladies at Glam Cabs, to the dashing chaps in their RAF uniforms, the sights of old cars, the smell of Castrol and the roar of WWII planes over head, it’s as if you’ve stepped back in time. A truly magical day.

The pefect mini MPV!
