Hi Stirling 49, I used to be able to upload until the sites format changed, but I'll keep trying, glad you like my photo.

Stunning photos Mick. The Jamie Witham one is my personal favourite, took my breath away. You seem to have captured the speed, the mood, everything perfectly, well done. Just one gripe - this "Sir " Alan Cathcart thing's getting out of hand, I think he even believes it himself now. All the American mags think he's really a Knight of the Realm.

Great images Paul, you'd think they were the same people!

Don't know if this is the best place to post a question about Goodwood FoS, but at least someone may point me to a better place they know of one.

At the Festival of Speed 2000, I was one of a select few old bike enthusiasts asked to help put on a display of early motorcycles, with demonstration runs up the hill. I was riding an amazing early Werner of 1902 which was fitted in 1906 with an 1899 de Dion tricycle engine, a period 'go-faster' mod!! As ever at Goodwood, there were a lot of photographers at the start taking shots of the riders about to depart. I was on the front line of the grid between Barry Sheene on an ex-works Suzuki 500 and Murray Walker on his Dad's old Rudge TT bike, so it would be nice to find one of the photographers who took the pics of the three of us lined up side by side so I could have one as a memento of an auspicious occasion.

Barry of course is no longer alive, and after that weekend, apparently Murray Walker vowed never to ride the Rudge again as he put his hip out on the last ride!! My mount was borrowed so all in all, it was an unrepeatable situation. It was also my first visit to Goodwood and certainly not my last! It was also memorable because on each of my runs up the hill, the Werner ran out of steam at the same marshal's post half way up the hill. When I stopped out iof breath from administering Light Pedal Assistance on the first run, they made me a cup of tea, but on the others, the tea was already brewed waiting for my visit!!

Hoping some kind person out there has the pics!! Have attached the only pic I have from the day which was published in the VSCC bulletin report of the event - I am wearing the white pudding basin...

Well, I was there that year, but no pics of the bikes I'm afraid. There is a 2000 FoS thread deep in the vaults here (it was before I found TNF), but some of the names there are still around. Try contacting Mattijs Diepraam (Racer Demon) at 8W - he or Jeroen Bruintjes (alias brun) might have something.
