Half way through and I am totally underwhelmed. The producer needs a few lessons in cutting, editing, and sound engineering. They should get a cameraman without Parkinsons as well. A totally badly produced programme. Where's the Fuel Altereds!

Wow! Pete's 'Bird in the background, just. 2 seconds of Fuel Altereds! I take it all back......NOT!

The altereds made everything else sound like Lambrettas! A very dull program indeed, what was the point of any of the interviews?

Yeah, i was looking for Pete's 'Bird but didn't spot it at all - but they did choose to show the Starsky and hutch Torino - a real classic

Just getting interesting with the Fuel Altereds and they cut them off mid flow to go to Louise piggin' Goodman!!

Still worth watching but needed more of the cars and less sucking up to the drivers in interviews...

You can watch F1 cars driving in a presetion any number of times a year on ITV, why do we need to see it at Goodwood when there are far more varyed and interesting things to see?

I was really disappointed to see only about 12 seconds of the Fuel Altereds lighting them up on the Telly it must have been quite awsome live.

It'd be nice to get them to do a meet at Avon Park, anyone got any contacts?

Bad news for the Altered boys.

Pure Heaven got damaged in an incident when it reversed into the Tow truck and brok one of the vintage Halibrand Wheels, damaged the body and ripped part of the firewall out - they dragged it out of a museum to show it at Goodwood, too.

Worse still, one of the guys in the "Bradford's" Topolino Altered fell over the Battery Box (which was usually in the Tow truck) and as he was getting on in years he broke his hip.

A Hard time for the teams, but some good runs on the Sunday when the weather had improved.

A Lancia won the "Winged Class".

A Plymouth is a bit too "Blue collared" for Goodwood, methinks.

Can't win 'em all I guess ... the Blue Bird does look great though!

BTW did anyone get a nice (big) photo of the 'Bird in situe?

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Mon Jun 28, 04 11:02 pm

I did the one in the other thread of it, but the pic is pretty poor, sun burned the pic

Perhaps you can get these better?

Thanks Alex, they'll do nicely

That shot with the bird rolling down the road is quite atmospheric, I reckon Drogo and his PhotoShop 7 could do wonders with that!

Yeah, I'm sure it can be superimposed into a Nevada desert highway or something ...
