Goodwood Festival of Speed today

[BudgieV8]

Just a few as I was out charity collecting for the Richard Burns Foundation:

 

Mk1 Twincam

 

Mikkola & Mouton & Hertz Quattro's

 

Brookes Manta 400's

 

RS200

 

Ponds Metro 6R4

 

Car developed by Colin Mcrae for a new rally series

 

Mk2 Escy on the stage

 

Broadspeed Capper

 

Mustang In the car park

 

Spoke to Russell Brookes just after I took the Manta pics (my hero when I was a kid), & saw Tony Pond in his TRV8 & Markku Martin & Young Wilson. Was like stepping back into the '80's up at the rally stage as the tannoys were relaying Tony Jardines 'words of wisdom' & it was a good 15 min 'yomp' through the forest to get there!

Hopefully some more pics tomorrow. Enjoy

Just a tip if you are going up to the Rally Stage. Get there early, use the Tractor shuttle to go up & walk back down as the hill is a b*gg*r. Also you get to see the MENTAL Bowler Dakar Land Rover off-road course - flat out UP the hill & they go scary fast!

great pics, but i thought Tony Pond died last year

[MK II Mark]

Yes unfortunately Mr Pond was a victim to the big C.

 

I bought a Metro GTA back in the early nineties which was his girlfriends, cue the abuse for driving a shite car, in my defence I was about 18 at the time and didn't know any better besides my mum wouldn't let me buy a MK 2 Mexico as she was told they were to "POKEY". (she was lending me the money)

Sorry, tannoys said it was Mr P driving his TRV8 (as it went past me sounding Brilliant!).

Didnt know he had gone...
