Well, since we’re here in ultra-rural Sussex which is about as British (more specifically English) as it gets, I thought we’d have a showcase of some of the plummier, more dentally challenged, limier racers to be seen at This Year’s Festival of Speed. Y’all keep having it shoved down your throat Some of you already…

We may as well get it over with, it’s going to be pretty tricky to overlook Mazda this year at Goodwood. But then, why would we want to? The central feature which is Goodwood crowning glory belongs to Mazda this year, a sky-scraping sculpture by Gerry Judah. It’s a magnificent… screw it, awesome spectacle and…

What can be said about the Goodwood Festival of Speed? Well, it’s unique, for a start. Where else can you find major car manufacturers gathering with this kind of enthusiasm? They erect colossal temporary edifices, corporate statements of identity, all designed to incite salivation in the glands of a fevered public. And why are they…

When I learned they were going to be here in Austin, I knew I had to see the cavalcade of new money ballers with their super/hypercars.

So I would suspect that my fellow Hoons have realized this olelongrooffan, for now, lives down in sunny southwest Florida.

Lady and gentlemen, the Citroen Conservatoire is one of those places where you say to yourself, after the visit– If I die now, I have no regrets and I’ve lived a full life.
