Despite the anniversies of the Lotus Tina and Porsche 911 being everywhere at events this year, the 50th of the Cooper S has barely raised an eyebrow anywhere (despite my best efforts).

St Mary's Trophy live at 2pm, Mini on pole, drizzle, that's a recipe for a stonkin race !
), don't know what the ambulance was doing on the track on the last lap ? That was Ruhan that got punted by his pal in the Alfa (who cut the corner). Ruhan got out OK, the car sliding down the track on it's roof, then rolling, looks totalled.mk1coopers wrote:Bugger, one of the minis (surf blue) just got punted into a roll in front of us, driver out and OK thank goodness
That's a Giulia Sprint GT -as he's always quick to point out when GTAs are mentioned. HSCC cut off is end 65. (GTA was much lighter for 66 - and ended the one year domination of the Alan Mann Cortinas in Europe)fricsman wrote:Well Jimmy Fuller pedals his quite well in HSCC - Car 33, usually mixing it with the Cortinas.
I think that's a little harsh, the whole 'posing' bit is all part of the living theatre that is the Revival. Without all the 'costume' and drama it'd just be another boring historic race meeting. However the celeb contingent and closed shop that goes with it must frustrate some drivers with genuine race history who are not involved. Chris Evans for example could be said to be a Goodwood poser but still has petrol for blood like the rest of us here.LMM76C wrote:
Ironic that I once heard Jimmy (at his home in Anu) dismiss both Goodwoods as being for posers.

Out of shot was a fantastic internal tank woody in Speedwell blue, not sure if the owner is on this site but it was lovely.
