I went to Goodwood with my bro yesterday, the drive down was awesome, and some of the stuff there was crazy good.

Here are a few pics off of my iPhone, sorry there aren't many, and sorry for poor quality too!

My bro (or as i like to call him "The Driver") and his new boxter



Obligatory driver shot:

whys it called an sl65 black????

its grey!




it looks like theres some serious monies at the show

Its got nothin to do with colour

yeha, it's just a series of roided up AMG's, this one is a twin turbo'd V12 pushing over 650bhp, but according to the guy from AMG we spoke to yesterday, it only shares the doors and wing mirrors with the standard SL, and obviously a few other things, but due the fixed roof, the majority is completely different. not bad for £215,000

im sorry matty that you dont get my sense of humour


it seems jimmy that you know your high performance motors

Ah sorry didnt realise was ment to be a joke, my bad

went to this last year, was f**king awsome, wish i could have gone this year but didint have the cash.

did you watch the cars going up the hill climb? loved the noise from the older cars last year! straight through stubby pipes ftw

i saw a bit but spent most of my time with the supercars and by the veuve clicquot bar.

i haven't been in a while, i think i last went to the Rolls Royce birthday one, but Porsche sent my bro some free tickets so i was definitely on board!

definitely glad i went, especially as there is no motor show this year.

pretty sure it wasn't a real one, but it wouldn't have surprised me! Audi had some pretty cool stuff but i was low on phone battery by then!

it's down in Goodwood, about a 3hr drive and tickets were £48 each this year for general admission, for one of the 3 days.

it's well worth going to at least once, as it's such a different experience to a normal show imo.
