I told them not to let you back in you just can't get the staff these days.

This is still funny foreigner land to be fair though darn sarf! Everywhere is until you get back to the peoples republic of Rock God shire North Yorkshire.

Chichester today. I had planned all sorts but the main Museum with all the Roman baths stuff etc was shut. Oh dear, never mind. Town is quite nice. Reminds be a bit of Canterbury and Beverley (ooop North). Cathedral is ok and the gardens quite nice.





The highlight of the day though was Goodwood Motor racing circuit!

What a cracking place. Had the grandstand to ourselves and just watched all sorts of supercars and not so supercars race around the circuit as well as the "experts" taking people out for an "experience". No shortage of punters either so they had to take turns so not so many were let loose at once. The pitlanes and buildings do definitely remind you of a bygone area of motor racing. All very nicely restored. The two minis were my favourites. Not sure what spec they were but they were bloody fast. Not as fast as the 911 GT3's etc but so much more exciting to watch and one of them clearly knew how to drive unlike some of the Porsche drivers some of which were a bit lame in the bends.

I had the last laugh though and a fitting end for the Honda Visions last ride before he goes into Honda for part ex in the morning. I managed to over take one of the GT3 RS Porsches on the road back to Chichester in their shitty traffic.
