This weekend plays host to the Goodwood Festival of Speed down in West Sussex, which I have been going to since 2005. This year fate has conspired against me and I won't be going. I delayed buying my ticket as I had applied for and subsequently got an interview for a position on their www.fortyonesix.com website, but sadly this was not to be. Then I crashed the Ducati at Brands Hatch, which is taking up any spare money that I have. Thirdly the theft of the Kawasaki last weekend really put an end to any idea of going. The Sunday was a possibility, but there is no way I was going to go in the car. I did that in 2005 and 2006 and it took over three hours to get to the A3. That's one great way to ruin a great day. So this year I'll have to settle for the Goodwood Breakfast clubs and the Revival in September.
This weekend won't be a total bust thou. Tomorrow I'll be back on a bike helping out Metropolis Ducati at the Vintage Affair Classic car show in Hoddesdon. Its seems like a strange combination of old Austins, Bentlys and MGs with a small range of modern Ducati motorcycles. I'm sure the day will be good, especially as I get to ride a motorbike, which is something I've sorely missed this last week.
