What've you got against Goodwood, Andy?

I've always heard it's a good time!

It certainly is Mr W.

Unfortunately the race was running late on the Sunday (when your vid was made) and 558 couln't hang around too long as she was already low on fuel due to being held up at Sanicole in Belgium so had to display during the race. On the Saturday the race was cut short for 558's display. :)

Nothing, but a few holes in the track would have stopped that incessant noise from the cars while the Vulcan did it's bit. ;)

You can probably tell I'm not really a car enthusiast. :D

Well, the Racers obviously should have been
Forced to stop right where they were, shut off
their machines and look skyward until the old
crate was done with her display!

SHEEESH! No Respect!

1,000 pounders might have made for a more
exciting vid, though...........

Never Mind!
