Goodwood Vee-Powered Breakfast Club

[sofasurfer]

This Sunday the Goodwood Breakfast club is all bout V-powered vehicles and I will be showing of the F. Hopefully the weather will stay nice enough over the weekend to give my car enough attention to make it look spot on. I've never been to one let alone shown off a car so don't know what to expect. Anyone here been to one?

May even see some of you there and have a chat. I will get some photos and put them up here and there may even be a sighting of an RCF if Lexus pull their finger out.

Never been but look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing pics of the cars on show.

So apart from the weather a great morning...even if it was horrific to get up at 5.30. Glad we did though as we could park under cover in one of the paddocks and hide from the rain.

After spending most of Saturday prepping the F a bit of rain wasn't going to stop us. In fact I even had my daughter and wife wiping down the car. Quite a few people loved the car and wanted to know more about them.

We did see these beauties as well

They were brought along by Lexus UK and I had a good chat about the RCF. They mentioned that the Ascari trip was at the dealer's discretion over who they could invite but they were also trying to tempt some buyers away from Audi and BMW so that's where some of them may go. Shame really as if it drives better than the F I would be sorely tempted to get one. They also said that the model the mags tested wasn't the carbon model but the standard one. Might explain why journos thought it a bit heavy but only time will tell when I can have a proper drive of one. They did let me sit in it and start it up. It does sound a lot more meaty than the F and I found the controller much better than the old mouse one. LFA-inspired dash was superb as well....as were the seats.

All in all a great day and well worth a trip..seeing so many V powered cars was amazing and I can highly recommend it. Now I need a lie down and rest..far too early a start.

Your car looks terrific and so does the RCF. That grill is starting to grow on me.

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like an LFA next to the RCF, did you get to have a sit in that?

[Stuno1]

Lfa.... Hens teeth! Brilliant.

Thanks Jon...didn't get to sit the LFA. They didn't seem to be letting people in it. I was too busy talking about the RCF though..really should have chanced my arm. As for the looks...all I can say is that the RCF looks far better in real life. That grill has some prescence..I can imagine people getting out of the way sharpish when it comes up behind them.

[sofasurfer]

Another shot of the LFA anyone??

[JonP]

Now that is awesome.

Hmm, RCF - daily driver, LFA - weekend toy.

Looks like I'm going to have to get a new job.......

I asked them if that one was for sale and they said no but they did say a white one was currently for sale for the bargain price of £440,000. All I have to do now is win the Euromillions and the next Lexus meet would be fun. Wouldn't tell anyone though..just rock up in it.

I have one VIP seat remaining for the Ascari RC-F launch early next month.

If anyone wants to place an order and leave a deposit please contact me.

The white LFA for sale is the Nurburgring edition.

I think that fixed spoiler ruins it...I like the active one that the standard model has. It's a left hand drive model as well so it would be cheaper to import one from the US...if I had a spare £300K that is.
