Featured in the Goodwood Festival of Speed (hill climb) this weekend. Just
happened to spot it coming back down the hill after its first run on the
Saturday morning. Took several pictures in the paddock prior to its
afternoon run, another just going out for its (wet) Sunday morning run, and
finally at the start line before its (dry) Sunday afternoon run (in this
last the driver is nonchalantly sitting on the wheel of the 2005 Ferrari
parked behind it). Pictures (just of the MG at the moment) at

http://www.goodwood.co.uk/fos/. Brilliant weekend, in spite of the wet
Sunday morning. Celebrating 100 years of Grand Prix there were 300 cars
(and bikes) from all eras of Grand Prix plus UK and German Touring cars,
rally cars, Targa Florio, Indy 500, TransAm, CanAm, Le Mans and Supercars
including the Bugatti Veyron. Loads of stars, and all accessible, the most
amazing sight (out of many) was the top F1 cars being driven back to their
stands through the crowds literally a couple of feet away with no barriers.
