    Good Wood Festival of Speed 2006

    Summer time again, and that means Goodwood festival of speed time!!!!! Sweet sugar!!!!

    Not going into the details of this event, all I will say is that if you have the ability to get yourself to Southern England and call yourself a petrolhead you should already be there!!!!!!

    If you want more info check out the website and if you have never been I really recommend!

    And sorry about image quality, my camera is a bit pants!

    1990 For Mustang Trans-Am.. Driven by Barry Lee.... This was one of the most entertaining runs... The hill was damp and this guy was still giving it the full beans... on slicks!!!!!! The back end was all over the place, great to watch!!!!

    New Turbo and GT3.... Got too say that the sound of the Turbo at full pelt, especially compared to some of the other metal was flying, was rubbish... very boring sound indeed.... The GT3 on the other hand made such a sweet noise!!!!! Know which one I want!

    It's a Canon 350D with the 17-85mm EFS lense. Worked well at Goodwood as you can get so close to the action.
