Soft-top Sunday!

Hi all, well here we are, stomping into week 2 of the summer holidays, i think maybe if we all pray for a little sun the spirit of the blogging community will surely lift these dripping gry clouds?

Id love to mow the lawn and potter in the garden but i dont fell like getting chilly out in the elements!

Anywho, hope you had a great weekend,i did, it was a bit different. I didnt go the carboot sale on sunday as usual, you see, my dad had invited me to 'soft top sunday' at Goodwood racecourse in chichester. He thought i might like a little trip out with him as when we're in the car together(pictured above, his Austin Healey 100:6) he can put his foot down a bit, my step mum gets a bit nervous when the top is down and lorries zoom past on the motorway. Isnt she a beauty? I had to wear my scarf tied round my head and sunglasses when we were driving along, knotty windswept hair just would not do!(i wont dare post a pic, i looked quite silly rather than thelma and louise glam!)

It was an early start but i didnt mind, taking in the vistas of the glorious suxssex countryside is no laborious task! We took the quick way there-motorway, and the scenic route back-heaven!

We joined a couple of hundred people at this event and enjoyed a lovely morning taking in the fabulous collections of vehicles, as well as partaking in a tasty and hearty breakfast, comprised of saussages and bacon organically reared on the goodwood estate!

There were families and young and old there, it was free to get in,which is a huge bonus, the pleasure is showing off your own vehicle and admiring the ones brought along by others.

i loved this Jag.....and look who had sneaked in the back for a ride?...

This was my ultimate favourite car, i think its a Porche roadster, yes i could just see myself in this one!

I

I had to take a quick pic of this lovely phone box too, i want one in my garden!

HOW cute is this? Obviously i was drawn in by the gorgeous fabric, not very neatly upholstered i must say but the pattern went fantastically with this little beauty of a car. Shame you dont see these around anymore.

Of course i had to show you a tractor! A 'baby' one so im told, but it looked pretty big to me! It was towing a little trailer giving people tours round goodwood, how lovely?

The weather was fab, there were lots of beautiful old cars to see and some not so beautiful and modern(smart cars!). I just had a really great time wandering around with my dad, we dont spend much quality time together as work/family commitments get in the was all too often but it reminded me of when my brother and i were little and my dad would take us to MG(his other vintage car of choice, he has a red one) meetings and shows...hope we can do it again soon!
