A morning at Goodwood Breakfast Club
We have a small hangover from our days before kids – a shiny two-seater convertible. It’s Mr Tin Box’s pride and joy but not very practical for transporting a toddler, baby and medium-sized dog.
Mr TB took our MX5 to Soft-top Sunday last year and had a great time checking out the other cars on the circuit. This year he suggested we come with him with the promise of a picnic brunch and plenty of shiny autos to ogle.
Being a breakfast club the action starts pretty early – a bit too early for me and the kids – so Mr TB set off at 6.30am and we followed after I’d had my first cuppa. We met up on the way with some friends and the Tin Box grandparents.
It was a beautiful day and ideal for strolling around the cars in the fresh air. We parked in a field opposite the race course and entered through the main gates. The first thing you see is the pit lane packed with cars of all different makes and models.
On the track were Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches, as well as ‘poor man’ sports cars like our own. There were also helicopters and light aircraft flying overhead, so plenty to capture Tin Box Tot’s attention.
I love hearing what people think about my blog so feel free to leave a comment below and browse around. You can also find me on Bloglovin’, or follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+ and Pinterest.
No probs. Thanks for hosting x
Mr Tin Box would have been really jealous of your Stag 🙂
You can speak to the owners as well which is great if you are really interested in a particular make or model. Hope you can find something similar near you.
What fun!! The helicopters must have been a nice surprise! Thanks for linking with #TwinklyTuesday.
Now we would have loved this as a family. We had an old Triumph Stag convertible until the 3rd child came along and we needed a practical extra car. I still hanker after having a fun car again one day and love visiting events like this. They really can be very family friendly. Looks like a great idea to take 2 cars and all enjoy the fun together. Thank you for sharing on Country Kids.
Apart from the free aspect, I can well imagine that this is a lot of fun. Call me rampantly nosy and voyeuristic, but I would be enjoying the cars as much for the fact they are owned by actual people rather than a museum as I would for the fabulousness of the cars themselves. Shall have to have a look see for an event near us.
