Those are real sports cars. This will be our sixth Goodwood Revival. We've never been to the Festival of Speed. I think Speed Channel carried Revival, not Festival. Revival is on the circuit, Festival is a hillclimb up Lord March's driveway.

The Isle of Man TT is now shown on HD Theater. In fact, I watched it today.

One of my few regrets is that I never learned to ride. I always wanted a Norton Commando or a Royal Enfield. Too old to start now, alas....

I also had a ‘54 Vette which wasn’t really a sports car.
It had an inline 6 cyl Blue Flame engine a two speed slushbox, tranny.

Speed has carried both Goodwood events; I remember the hill climb and race on the circuit.

Thanks, we get HD Theater on DirecTV, I’ll have to check the listings!

Your never too old to learn to ride, I was 18 and in the US Navy when I got my first bike, that was the first of around 22...every time I count them I run out of fingers and lose track. ;)
