Goodwood Revival 17-19 September 2010

If you only go to one show this year, make it this one. It's not cheap, but it's by far the best day out all year. Even the 'pre 1966' car park has more classic cars in it than most car shows do.
Going in period dress is a must! Don't think that you'll feel daft because believe me you'll feel a lot dafter if you don't. Everyone is dressed up.
I'm not advertising a club stand in this post, just mentioning to people that i'll be staying in a recommended local campsite for the whole weekend (Thursday to Monday) and I'll be attending the show on the Sunday (the busiest day) and probably spending a few hours on Friday and Saturday checking out the cars in the car park. Anyone who's also thinking of going to the show but doesn't want to pay the £200 price tag for a weeks pitch on the official Goodwood camp site (you have to pay for a whole week) could try the site I'm going to stay at:
Chichester Lakeside, Chichester, PO20 1QH. It's 3.5 miles to the Goodwood car park, taking the detour they send you on, or 2.5 if you go direct (by bycycle for instance). The only downside I can see is that it's quite near the Chichester bypass, but then again I've got 4 nights with an electric hook-up included for £50.

you will definitely feel more uncomfortable not wearing period dress than wearing it but, that's the bit I loved the most
