The weather stayed dry and grass Motorhome pitch stayed firm so no problem getting off camping field. An expensive weekend but fantastic racing, great peripheral activities and a fantastic firework display on Saturday evening. Dave McD

Adam Sykes drove one of the early Can Am cars, a Chinook Chevrolet, that were actually racing in the Surtees Trophy for unlimited sports prototypes between 64 & 66. The Chinook was notably slow in period relative to the Lolas and McLaren M1s. Surtees won the first Can Am championship in 66 in a Lola T70. The Can Am demo cars were mostly a bit later from 68 - 74. One owner from the USA had 7 Shadows there inc the one that Jackie Oliver used to win the championship in 1974 with Oliver driving it in the demo. Fantastic cars. Brute force in huge cars. What a sight. Da

Brilliant weekend of motorsport at Goodwood. The Can Am car demos were awesome. Dave McD

I’m at Goodwood now in the Motorhome on a grass pitch and the field is reasonably firm. With a mainly dry forecast for the w/end I may even be able to drive off under my own steam when it comes time to leave. Looking forward to a great event. Dave McD

Jim, my stock consists of 3 aluminium grille cross bars but none of them are very pretty. One painted black silk finish One painted red in the front channel One without paint but quite scruffy. None have the braid/tape and end clips in the front channel. I think from your comments about you are trying to achieve they are unlikely to suit your needs. Sorry Dave McD

Jim, I’ve just tidied up my cross bar this weekend by dismantling from the grille and used Solvol Autosol and a bit of elbow grease. Pleased with result If that doesn’t appeal I do have a spare grille aluminium cross bar in my stock but I’ll have to check condition. Dave McD

I also had a message purporting to be from John. Dave McD
