Went for practice day (Friday) and the first race day. Couldn't stay for
today when the classic saloons were racing.

All in all worth going. Nothing like so crowded as Goodwood but an
impressive display of cars both on and off track.

Best race pre WW2 sports cars. Won by an incredibly fast Alta which lapped
the second placed Alfa. Everything from a V-12 Lagonda to a K Type Midget.
All drivers trying hard. ;-)

Mine was the only SD1 there - on display or in the car park. Ferraris are
common as muck. ;-)

SD1?
or
Ferrari?

I know which I'd be driving, and it ain't the crap pile of shite made by
rover.

Nobody ever drives Ferraris far - they're for posing in. Look at any ad
for one secondhand - always low mileage. Also completely impractical on
the roads round Silverstone - too wide. So the only ones I'd want are old.

Now work out why there are still more |Ferrari's than SD1's. Actually I
have a soft spot for SD1's but I would not swop my Ferrari for one, two or
three.

There were more Iso Rivoltas there than SD1s too. ;-) And Allards. Doesn't
mean much - only that there were no SD1s.

Of course high initial price cars always survive better in proportion than
cheaper ones.

Not at all, a Ferrari is an exotic car, a rover will never acheive any
status
..
Don't knock Ferraris (or even try to be a smug fuckwit) when all you own is
a shite old rover, it will always backfire and you'll just end up looking
like the poor old jealous cunt you really are....

I wouldn't keep chickens in a rover!

I didn't say what my other cars are, did I?

I doubt you even know what an SD1 is. And can certainly never have
driven one.

Perfect condition. Looks stunning. Gorgeous sound.

Utterly horrible to travel in - cramped, uncomfortable, suspnsion so
hard that individual pieces of gravel hurtthe spine. Basically unusable
for trips of more than a few miles.

Quite. As I would have said a few days ago if I hadn't temporarily run out
of news servers that worked both ways, I wouldn't be at all surprised if
Dave's SD1 has clocked up more miles than all the Ferraris there put
together.

The laugh is I wasn't knocking Ferrari - just trying to make a vaguely
humorous point.

Still, had my fill of SD1s today at Gaydon - club national day. About 100.
