I had a very good run down to Goodwood yesterday.

I saw 2 Atoms parked with the Supercars

Thanks Graeme, but I went for a quick blast today, so I guess I’ll be having a lie in tomorrow.

I (GI Racer on facebook) will be at Haynes tomorrow morning, weather looks like it will be ok. Will try to get to the next south east run at Goodwood cafe in a couple of weeks also.

I’m going to head down tomorrow morning. Aiming to arrive just after 8am

Yep, gonna give it a miss this year. Shame as the brekky was half decent.

Weather is looking good for Sunday so may we’ll head out for an early morning blast. Where does a good brekky is the question...

So assumption is this year there will not be an Ariel contingent meeting up for this.

On reflection I am inclined to agree, the drive down to Goddwood is great but the car parks are far from Atom friendly, this we discovered at the Festival of Speed last year.

We were on that occasion welcomed into the supercar carpark.

Ha Ha,

Then again I've also not got an official acceptance...

But then Alan you have a supercar. Or at least leave all those at Goodwood for dead
:-)

I'm still to be refused.

I don’t think anyone would have got in as we don’t quite fit the theme. They vary the themes each year and there is usually one we fit in easily with. In which case they accept a good bunch of us.

We could go down and park together in public car park. I’m still undecided. 2 reasons; Goodwood car parks can be hit and miss (Nomads would be ok). Secondly we would have to have one of us watching the cars othetwisr there are always someone climbing in for the photo. We could rotate that duty amongst ourselves. But that might be a pain if parked miles away.

On one hand, yes. On the other, if we do, we'll never get an invite again 'cos we'll turn up anyway, so what's in it for them?

Did any Ariel machinery get in out of interest? Or is one really too many for Goodwood these days?

There can't be 'too many Atoms' if they've declined them all...
