Don't think it's open to the general public to race up Mike. Think you have to be super rich or own an ultra expensive race car to be invited, neither of which applies to me.

'tis barley a 'hill'...... least ways the first half is pretty darn flat. So guys, if you actually factually want to drive your own cars at a hillclimb, here's two ways that you can: The Prescott drivers school lets you out on the beautiful hill owned by the Bugatti folk near Cheltenham (I've competed there on a bike a few times, really good place with loads of history) http://www.prescott-hillclimb.com/driversschool.aspxOr Gurston Down, Salisbury direction, and the only hillclimb venue that starts by going down hill!! Ridden there a few time too. http://www.gurstondown.org/school.htmSo what's gonna stop you..............  |

He was always a star!
Completely forgot to set the TV reminder, so just caught the last 5 minutes. That Toyota Celica, turbocharged, supercharged and nitrous?! Crazy.
I want one.
Andy - I've been in touch with ITV4 and after lots of hassle, they're gonna show the programme AGAIN, so you can catch it this time. They suggested that you do the following this time: Tell a responsible adult about it so they can remind you, write it in ink on your hand, leave a zillion post-its about the place, and set the video thingy. Hope you appreciate all the hard work and favours I've had to call in to get this on again!!! SAT 16th July - 4.30 pm (liable to be 16:30 on the video timer), duration - 1 hour |

"So what's gonna stop you"? Discs & drums hopefully. Having spent so long putting the truck together, I don't really want to wreck it dirt oval racing at the Hotrod Hayride, (yeah I know they've stopped doing that), but might be tempted to give it a blast up a hill or two, though I'm sure that's just as rigorous. Appreciate your behind the scenes efforts with friends in high places Tone. I'll write it on my forehead this time. |

Nice pics and captions Tony. I had a great time as always at Goodwood on the Friday. Its good value for money as far as I'm concerned. £50 for 12 hours of car heaven including the ticket, some water, a burger and an ice cream. In that time I took 871 pics, a few of which are here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonesy59/sets/72157627106449078/ |

Some very nice photos there Chris!! Looks like some were taken when the sun was getting low, gives a good colour change. I managed to do Friday for £17 per head, and bought diddly squat (apart from a Programme, which I got on Thursday), which goes to prove it may be not as expensive as some may think. Been told we pay "March" prices for food n drink! Ps Car and Motorcycle heaven |
