Would be interested to hear about the day please. I saw it being advertised at the Breakfast Club and am quite tempted.

Went today - glorious weather. Got to drive the following (in order), with stars out of five -

- DB4 (*)
- Carrera RS (***)
- D-Type (****)
- Cobra (****)
- Boxster Spyder (*****)
- Ferrari 458 (*****)
- Hotlap in Caterham Supersport (**************....)

As beautiful as the old cars are, I am a definitely a 'new car' person. First time on the track in mine and it was superb. The Ferrari was like a big Lotus Elise. The hot lap in the Caterham was something else. The 73 RS suffered for me because it was LHD and I couldn't get to grips with it. The D-Type was special and the instructor was teaching us to 'fly' it rather than drive it. Quite an experience and a lot to take on board.

I would recommend the day - the classics are great cars, but I personally found more fun in the new cars. As always, it was brilliantly organised and Goodwood was glorious.

What happened to the 'Tina'?

[2010spy]

Went for the Cobra instead....

E Type.

The surprise to me is there was no hesitation in the choice.
