Pistonheads Sunday Service, Goodwood - 16th Dec 2012

[Steve_PPP]

Just found out about this folks, last Sunday Service of the year nice and local for a lot of us. The list is filling up fast though, so don't hang about....

The PistonHeads Sunday Service was sadly missed in November due to all efforts being focussed on BTaP 2012 (if you missed that then shame on you) but we're back in a big way with our end of year Sunday Service.
Shun Christmas shopping, rubbish TV and putting up decorations and instead point your steed towards Goodwood Motor Circuit on Sunday December 16 for our 2012 Grand Finale. We've decided to promote a little earlier than usual as we appreciate you may need to get this in the diaries sooner rather than later with all the fesitivities taking place in mid-December.

Our Goodwood meet was very well attended well-attend last year and we're sure 2012 will be no different as we see out 2012 and wonder what the Sunday Service has in store for 2013. 800 PHer cars can be accommodated on the day but, as with all Sunday Service meets, spaces fill up fast so ensure you get your name down on the calendar to reserve your place.

Parking will be in the paddock and along the circuit straight, with spaces allocated on a first-come first-served basis and we'll be working to our usual format of 'no name, no space' on the gate. Gates open at 09.00 and close at 13.00 as per usual.

For anyone thats not been to a Sunday Service event before, you need to register on Pistonheads.com and sign up to their entry list to be allowed in. There's 800 allowed to this event, but if you miss that, sign up anyway as the reserves list usually moves up quickly closer to the date.

Would have thought you'll both get in, the one at Merc World had about a hundred reserves at one point, yet they were actually just under the maximum numbers by the day.

Thanks for posting on SES Steve - I got my Mrs to add me as I was away and didn't have internet access. There's normally about 150+ drop out and as this one is just before xmas there's normally a good chance of making it onto the list before the day!

[Steve_PPP]

No problem Greg, cheers for texting Claire to let us know

[Scott.T]

Shane has moved up 9 places, so I'm getting closer to being in.
No worries if not though as I'll jump in with Shane

[Hongkongfooi]

[Juppy]

[Juppy]

[Steve_PPP]

Keep checking, apparently it might snow in the middle of next week so could be a lot of expensive RWD cars deciding to stay at home.... also, expect the organisers will send an email out this week reminding people to remove themselves if they can't make it, often see a quick drop after that

[kartingsteve]

Only 161 away

[SpecB]

Balls! Just checked my race time - I've got an 1130 start so would need to leaveGoodwood by 10 so not really worth it. My place is now up for grabs!

Space in mine....yes

[555_Si]

someone can use my space and pass, pm me, i am double booked this sunday i have just realised. going to brands for track day with mate.

[Steve_PPP]

So if Juppy takes Bluebugeye's entry and KartingSteve takes Simon's, does that mean everyone who can make it is ok now?

Just received an email from the organisers:

This Sunday we will host the last Sunday Service of the year at the Goodwood Motor Circuit and you are one of the PHers with a reserved space on the day.

A few points to note:

We will open the gates at 09.00
The event will close at 13.00

Food and drink will be available from the Goodwood catering units. Parking is allocated on a first come- first served basis using a portion of the circuit and the paddock area.

Please respect the wishes of our hosts and follow marshal instruction and keep speed to a minimum when on site.

When you arrive please place a printout of the attached logo on the dash so it is visible to the parking marshals and PH staff.

If you can no longer attend this meet please remove yourself from the list as this will release your space for another PHer waiting on the reserve list.

Finally, if you use twitter or instagram we encourage you to submit photos using the #PHSS and we’ll choose a few favourites for a home page article next week.

We look forward to seeing you there

Regards

[kartingsteve]

Looks like I will not make it now As my daughters football match has be re-arranged for Sunday morning unless it's called off again.

[ScoobyStu]

Only just seen this and it's too short a notice for me now I think. Mainly because I thought it was the merc world Sunday service thread being bumped. One day I'll read things properly......one day!

[Hongkongfooi]

looks like the weather will be a bit warmer on sunday than today!

[Steve_PPP]

Thankfully, last couple of days have been chuffing freezing!

[Red Baron]

So what's the arrangements for Sunday guys, will it depend on what time you get back from your meal on Saturday night?

Shane

Was it the last Pistonheads meet at Goodwood that had us queuing half an hour to get in? Or another event? I know it was because they couldn't use the fields for parking (flooded).

I'd be tempted to say 8am meet at Patcham BP, leave by 8:10am?

[SpecB]

Think that was the super car day.

There has been roadworks at Sussex pad/ lancing and would of thought need to be there at goodwood around 830? It's the last one of the year so will be busy

[Scott.T]

Happy with those times.
Can someone lead and dry the roads infront of me from Fri/Sat's forecast rain.

[Juppy]

what time will you be leaving hastings and would it be possible for me to convoy up with you again?

[Scott.T]

7:15am Opposite Bannotyne's entrance
7:35am at Bo-Ship R'bout if Tim want to join us ?
Then Lewes Tunnel

[SamSTI]

I started at 1040 odd and now I'm at 837 and dropping!!! might actually make it

Would have thought you will get with only 37 more to go, looks like a couple of hundred have removed themselves this week.

Looks to be a bit milder too, this week has been chuffing freezing!

[555_Si]

still got my pass if anyone needs it.

[kartingsteve]

Still waiting to see if my daughters football match is on.

[SamSTI]

maybe a stupid question but will i get a email with a password or something on?? or is it a case of just turn up and say ur details??

You should have received an email,

with the details, also it has an attachment that you should print off and take with you.

[Hongkongfooi]

[SamSTI]

[Scott.T]

They will just ask for your name on the gate (or username if you signed up with that on PH). As a few people haven't had the email, i've uploaded the attachment - just download and print this file:

The email content is just as per my earlier post.

[BIG"E"]

See you there.

not a problem mate i know its between the 2 roundabouts

[Red Baron]

If I'm not at Bannatynes by 7:15 don't wait for me, have the kids so could well be running late, getting a 13 year old out of bed on a Sunday morning isn't the easiest job in the world.

lol ok mate!! i will meet you all then!!

[Steve_PPP]

Is anyone else meeting up at Patcham BP or is it just me?

If i'm the only one then i'll go and wait in a layby on the A27 to save you guys all coming off and then back on at Brighton.

[BIG"E"]

Sorry I will now not be going.

[Scott.T]

Me no go either.
Too much to do and pressies to wrap for Monday's post for the folks.
My back also spasmed tonight and I struggled to get out of car (i was sober) and not sure how it will be first thing.
Have a good time......

[SamSTI]

Who's still going to this today?

[Red Baron]

Yep, will be at Banatynes in a minute.

[Hongkongfooi]

[Steve_PPP]

Yes, if i'm not there don't wait - will just see you guys at Goodwood. Might be a few mins late.

[Red Baron]

Well I'm here, beautiful morning.

[Scott.T]

glad you made it down.
I've just managed to get up but my backs not right so i made the right decision as wouldn't of wanted it to imobilise me bigtime whilst taking arty photos.
Shame as i bought a new camera yesterday.
.


.
Off now to find where i put those anti- inflamatories.

[Red Baron]

Saw Steves car but by the time I got back to where he was parked he'd left and Juppy was tucking into a bacon roll. Was that Bogg123 having a friendly chat with the Police in Arundel?

ha ha!! yeah that was me!! the officer was very interested in my tyres for some reason, i think he thought they were slicks or something!! i managed to convince him they were standard in the end lol

[Steve_PPP]

Was a lovely morning weather-wise, if a little bit of an early start after last nights meal. Sat in the layby on the A27 until just after 8am and Juppy came past so we convoyed over together from there. Luckily the police at Arundel were busy dealing with a beemer driver so we didn't get stopped. We reckon it was random breathalyser tests, bet a few people drove after a late night/christmas do's on the beers last night.

Saw Shane's car whilst wandering around, and nice to meet you Sam (whats the reason for the username bogg?!). Left about half ten to head back, spent all afternoon fixing little niggles i've found on the mondeo since buying it.

What tyres are you running on?

It makes a change for someone else to have a little chat.
