Thoroughbred Sunday
The quintessential pre-1980 sports car or motorbike

This was the first time I had been to the Goodwood Breakfast Club. A group of us met in Riverhead at some unearthly hour on a wet Sunday morning and blatted down to Goodwood where a good time was had by all, with an excellent array of cars on show.
