Terrific. And its the first time I have ever liked the music dubbed to such a montage;the relentless punk/new wave sound was pitch perfect. Lucky Brits.............

suggestions?

For those who've attended a Goodwood FOS, any suggestions on where to stay, what not to miss, what to avoid, etc? The weather scares me a bit given the high costs and high likelyhood of wet days in the south of England...but still, 2010 seems to be THE year to attend.

thanks.

What would be really great is if there was an organized tour group to go, then we would have the details to plan with.

We need some local Alfistas from the south to weigh in on hotels and B&B's. I suggest checking out the Goodwood website and if possible booking as soon as the dates are set. As to the weather the Brits soldier on and don't let a little rain stop them. Even if it rains it is not usually continuous and the event is so great it is worth some inconvenience. As my wife is fond of saying you aren't sugar and won't melt.
