A friend rang me up on Friday to say he'd been given 2 tickets for the Goodwood revival. Ive always wanted to go but couldnt justify the 80somethig quid for admission.
I misunderstood some of the instructions from the car park attendants (ok I ignored and possibly told a couple of fibs) and we ended up in the old car parking area.
A good day out. A bit noisy, Im not used to classic maotr racing.
This was funny

After 4 years of ownership and being unable to find a correct bench seat for the truck I decided to have the non original one recovered. It was dropping to bits. Looks a bit smarter now in leather.
And also more comfortable with new foam.

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution |

Indeed, very nice..
I'm sure there's nobody still around who will recall exactly what an original bench seat would look like?
At least you haven't gone for headrests...  [/i]

No plans to sell it.
It's the only car I own.
My wife let's me use her car sometimes. |

If I were in the same boat, I'd be wondering why on earth would I want to use her car??

Mine won't! 
(I can't blame her, really. The Lexus is stuffed full of technology ...and we both know I am jinxed where electrics are concerned!) |

The seat looks very good, a good trimming.
