As you can see, we have been (and will be, for the foreseeable future) very busy adding content for you, our devoted readers. Our aim is to provide you with pertinent content, teamed with real world insight and just a touch of wit. (Provided by my colourful UK counterpart).

As always, we’ll continue to provide you with the quality automotive images you’ve come to expect as well. (Crystal Cove photos for this week are here. )

Please continue to submit your ideas via our web form or directly via e-mail. We love to hear from you.

The dates are already out !!

Get your tickets over at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Homepage and let us know if you’re coming. Oli and I are booked for all three days and we have seats in the “Crossroads” Grandstand. We’d love to meet up with any of our readers, so drop a line and we’ll make plans for lunch, dinner or a pint!

If you’re coming over from the US, make sure you buy the three day ticket and get some grandstand seating. (It will take three days to see and fully appreciate everything, and you’ll thank us for recommending the grandstand seating by the end of day one!)

We’re trying to get a little more advanced this year, perhaps taking some decent video equipment in addition to our digital cams. Coverage should be the best yet! We’re still hounding them for photographic passes (trackside), so wish us luck!

Photos from the SEMA show in Las Vegas have begun to be posted in the portfolio section of our website. Next batch of photos should be up by tomorrow evening. (There’s a LOT of them.)

Watch for an article on our visit to SEMA at some point in the next few weeks. In the meantime, go here.

Enjoy!

JM
