I have just checked out the Monterey site. It sure looks like being a brilliant event. How many Aussies are heading over mark?

It’s not too late to get to Monterey this year either. First couple of weeks of August. I’m going. Lots of similarly afflicted people from here going as well.

You have to do it. I went to the Goodwood F O S in 1999 and it was the best event I’ve been to. And that includes Le Mans the previous weekend. Well, actually, it’s a tough choice. But Goodwood is truly spectacular. You have virtually unlimited access to the cars – I just walked up to Nick Mason’s GTO, opened the door, took some shots, breathed in the history, closed the door and no-one said anything – try doing that at a V8 Supercar meeting. The atmosphere at historic meetings is quite wonderful, and Goodwood is the best of them all. The setup of the displays, the quality of the food, the ‘old’ race drivers just wandering around, the incredible range of cars and bikes…I could go on and on. Matter of fact, I think I just did. Just do it! You’ll be blown away.
