Hi Richard, Thanks for the advance notice regarding our Goodwood geek meet. It was suggested at our recent Birmingham meet that - for logistical, convenience and practical reasons - it would be a good idea if all attendees would stay at the same accommodation. I've been trawling the internet and have noticed that hotels in the immediate area are already charging silly and outrageous money for bookings during the Goodwood festival but there are very reasonable prices available at Ibis Budget Hotel, Portsmouth which is approx. 20 miles from the event so I'm throwing in that suggestion as my 2c worth. If I find any other suitable accommodation I'll post the details. I know it's very early to be choosing a place to stay but attendees can number over 100,000 per day at the festival so availability may become scarce soon. | ||

larry you are so right and I think that Southampton should be our base and leave Hotel choice to the individual, 2018 visit to Crewe we stayed in an Ibis Hotel it was clean and reasonably priced, I will check them out later thanks for the help. Richard. | ||

I just noticed this was in Summer. I'll clear the dates. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1027 Registered: 4-2012 |
Ross that would be something else, I will look forward to that, Richard. | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 880 Registered: 11-2015 |
Richard, Fast cars, interesting company, and jumbles... Can't very well miss that. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1033 Registered: 4-2012 |
A few weeks ago I was having trouble finding suitable accommodation close to the venue, and at a reasonable price, so I booked a cottage on the coast about nine miles from the Festival, Larry Kavanagh, Larrys friend John, Benoit Leus, Barry Murphy, Stephen Mullan, Richard Yeaman. will be staying here, today I also booked my tickets for admission on Saturday and Sunday. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Prolific User Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 297 Registered: 5-2016 |
A cottage on the coast, lovely, I'll bring my swimming costume! You're one organised man Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Prolific User Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 298 Registered: 5-2016 |
John said that he will bring his bucket & spade! | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 885 Registered: 11-2015 |
Richard, What would it take to get in on the cottage lodgings? | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1035 Registered: 4-2012 |
Larry that would be a sight. Ross you are more than welcome, no room service, just muck in, and the cost hardly anything. Richard | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1037 Registered: 4-2012 |
Last week I booked another cottage, it is a 25 minute drive to the goodwood festival of speed, it is well equipped has a large garden 3/4 of an acre and adequate car parking, it is in a little village called Frittleworth the cost is equal share of total. Richard | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 887 Registered: 11-2015 |
Richard, sounds grand. I'll be in touch. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1049 Registered: 4-2012 |
Today I provisionally booked a venue for our get together in July, I have booked a 400 year old country pub and inn called The Fox goes free www.thefoxgoesfree.com on Saturday the 6th a table is booked for 7.45 every one is welcome to call in for a coffee a beer or stay for dinner, I will be presenting everyone In attendance a key ring as a keep sake, The Inn is about 1 mile from goodwood Horse race course, it should be good crack. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 334 Registered: 5-2016 |
Thanks for organising the meal venue Richard, I'm looking forward to Goodwood already. Hope to bring the Silver Shadow this time. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1050 Registered: 4-2012 |
Larry that would be nice, A good wee run for the Shadow, I might bring the Turbo R and if Alan brings the Bentley T how good would that be. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 335 Registered: 5-2016 |
That would be grrrreat Richard and maybe Benoit might bring his Silver Shadow too, no pressure Benoit. I'm due to deliver a blushing bride to church in the Silver Shadow in your neck of the woods on 27th April. That should be a nice wee practice run (for the Silver Shadow, not the bride). | ||

Hi I got an email today from Ross Kowalski confirming his involvement in our meeting at the Goodwood festival of speed, and his place in one of the cottages, a warm welcome to Ross. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 365 Registered: 5-2016 |
Great news Richard, looking forward to meeting Ross too. I think that's 8 people attending so far? The more the merrier. How many will the cottage cater for? | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1059 Registered: 4-2012 |
Larry I have two cottages with a total number of nine, beds, in the cottage in Selsey its the one at the sea side there is room for five, and the cottage in Fittleworth has four, Everyone will have a bed to themselves, and there are two bathrooms in each, the maximum in both cottages is fourteen. so nine is just right, So far confirmed friends are Larry, john, Benoit, Ross, Barry, Stephen and Richard, and the cottages are booked from 5th July till the 8th July so there is room for Two more, Obviously if there are couples there is room for more. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1060 Registered: 4-2012 |
Hi back again just received confirmation from Mr Alan Dibley reserving his place in a cottage, A big Welcome to Alan. | ||
| Alan Dibley Prolific User Username: alsdibley Post Number: 185 Registered: 10-2009 |
Do you notice that "Mr"? It's nice to get a bit of old-fashioned courtesy occasionally. So let's have a some respect from you oiks when we go to Goodwood. Mr Alan Dibley O.B.E. (Over Bloody Eighty)_ | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 366 Registered: 5-2016 |
Welcome Sir Alan Dibley O.B.E. (Octogenarian Bentley Enthusiast). | ||
| Alan Dibley Prolific User Username: alsdibley Post Number: 186 Registered: 10-2009 |
Nice one, Larry. Alan L S Dibley. | ||
| Benoit Leus Grand Master Username: benoitleus Post Number: 390 Registered: 6-2009 |
If it's OK with everyone and there is still enough room, I'd like to bring along a friend of mine. He doesn't own a Rolls or Bentley, but he's a real car enthousiast and nice bloke. Benoit | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1061 Registered: 4-2012 |
Hi Benoit of course your friend is welcome, I am looking forward to meeting you all again. Richard. | ||
| Alan Dibley Prolific User Username: alsdibley Post Number: 189 Registered: 10-2009 |
It has just occurred to me that I could offer a rather special visit to the workshop of a friend of mine. Look up "Cummins Railton" on the net. Terry clark, the builder of this beautiful monster, is a friend of mine and would enjoy entertaining a bunch of RR/B nerds. His workshop usually has streams of exotic or unusual machinery passing through - he is the go-to guy when all other folk have said "No" after a sharp intake of breath. Ferraris, Lambos, RR/B, vintage or veteran, an occasional GT40 or hyped-up rally car, etc........ And his own semi-replica of the Napier-Railton which holds (for ever) the Brooklands lap record. (It's got a 6 litre super-charged AND turbo-charged Cummins diesel engine, and it goes.) Think about it - what about a visit to Weston-Super-Mare on one day before or after Goodwood. I can put up a few folk at home and Cheddar has a few B&Bs/hotels. Alan D. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 393 Registered: 5-2016 |
Excellent suggestion Alan, I would certainly be very interested, thank you for the offer. Monday 8th July would definitely suit me if that's agreeable to others as I expect to be heading from Goodwood to the ferry at Fishguard on that day and Weston-Super-Mere would be only a slight detour on my route. I'll wait and see what plans others have. | ||
| Alan Dibley Prolific User Username: alsdibley Post Number: 190 Registered: 10-2009 |
I can put off definite arrangements with Terry till the last moment - he won't want to organise it weeks in advance. Alan D. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 394 Registered: 5-2016 |
OK Alan, play it by ear is probably the best plan. | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 931 Registered: 11-2015 |
Richard, I haven't seen any talk of a commemorative key chain. If you want I can custom cut some in leather. I did a bunch of laser cut ones recently. The completed ones had brass rivets and titanium rings. Here's some pics.   | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 401 Registered: 5-2016 |
Nice work Ross. The leather ones are the best as they don't add weight to tug at the ignition switch barrel. I don't know whether or not Richard has already commissioned some but no doubt he will be in touch but I'd personally love one of those classic period leather ones. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1065 Registered: 4-2012 |
Ross I ordered them on the 10th of April, But I think your suggestion of some handmade ones would be marvellous, A double whammy, sounds good to me. Richard. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1066 Registered: 4-2012 |
I bought some more tickets at the weekend and a red ink Limited message was shown when I was buying the Saturday ones, I use Goodwood.com official site, My advice is buy you tickets soon. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 402 Registered: 5-2016 |
What's the best day to order for Richard? I'm not sure if I'll be attending for 1 or 2 days (Sat, Sun or both). | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1067 Registered: 4-2012 |
Hi Larry Stephen Barry and myself are going Sat and Sunday, but its a matter for yourself. Richard. | ||
| Benoit Leus Grand Master Username: benoitleus Post Number: 391 Registered: 6-2009 |
Thanks you for the warning, Richard. I ordered our tickets today. We will only be able to attend the Festival of Speed on Saturday, as we have to go back to Belgium on Sunday due to work  So we will arrive on Friday and leave somewhere Sunday. Benoit | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 403 Registered: 5-2016 |
You were correct about the urgency in ordering tickets Richard, I tried to book for Saturday but all grandstand tickets are sold out. I booked for Sunday. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1068 Registered: 4-2012 |
Larry you can book Saturday admission entrance only £70 which means you can roam around, these are the ones I bought. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 404 Registered: 5-2016 |
Thanks Richard, I've just bought the tickets for the enclosure for Saturday too so hope to be there on Saturday & Sunday. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1076 Registered: 4-2012 |
Today I collected the keyrings for the 2019 UK tour, wont be long till it comes round. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 439 Registered: 5-2016 |
Thanks Richard. Must get details of the accommodation location or a meeting point from you at some later stage. Regards, Larry | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1077 Registered: 4-2012 |
Larry I Have all monies paid for one cottage and the rest of the payment for the other one is due in a fortnights time, I wont receive instructions until nearer the time, The numbers for the cottages are nine we could probably accommodate one more if necessary, I will keep everyone posted about the details in due course. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 440 Registered: 5-2016 |
Thanks Richard, you're on top of things as per usual. | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 1098 Registered: 11-2015 |
Ok, I have been looking for an early stamped grill for one of my mini's. It seems that either non made it to the states or were replaced with chrome units and the originals discarded.  They are still apparently around all over the UK. If someone coming down to Goodwood would be willing to pick one up, let me know and I can forward you the funds. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1078 Registered: 4-2012 |
Hi Ross I could do that for you, The one you have identified in the image above is still for sale on e bay I could get this one or wait for a better one. | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 1099 Registered: 11-2015 |
Richard, That would be fantastic. If that pictured one is still available that would be fine. PM me and I can get you some funds. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1079 Registered: 4-2012 |
Hi Ross I bought it £28.50 inc postage pay me when we meet in July. Richard. | ||

Richard, You are a true gentleman. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1082 Registered: 04-2012 |
Hi just three weeks to our third UK meeting starting on 5th of July, I sent all of you that said they were attending, a copy of the menu, if you could send me a note about your selection I will forward it to the restaurant. Thank you. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 458 Registered: 05-2016 |
Hi Richard, I replied with the menu selections for John & myself, if you didn't receive my response I can send it again if required. Looking forward to Goodwood and hoping for good weather. Getting the Silver Shadow 11 ready for the trip, awaiting repairs to the coolant expansion tank baffles at the moment. | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1083 Registered: 04-2012 |
Hi Larry I did receive yours and Johns and three others including myself, I was bringing my turbo R but Stephen Mullen offered to bring his S class Mercedes Barry Murphy can share the driving with him and I Can enjoy the scenery and have a tipple or two. Richard. | ||
| Benoit Leus Grand Master Username: benoitleus Post Number: 393 Registered: 06-2009 |
Richard, I'll send you our menu choices within the next few says. We'll be arriving by Range Rover Sport as the Shadow still has that annoying knocking noise in the rear suspension and I don't want to drive it this far. Benoit | ||
| richard george yeaman Grand Master Username: richyrich Post Number: 1085 Registered: 04-2012 |
That is great Benoit, I was asked by the restaurant to supply the details, probably to help the kitchen staff to have everything to hand, Thank you all for your cooperation. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Grand Master Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 459 Registered: 05-2016 |
Hi Benoit, If possible could you record the rear suspension knocking noise and bring the recording with you so that I could hazard a guess at the cause? | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 1156 Registered: 11-2015 |

No Ross but now that you mention it perhaps yes. | ||
| Vladimir Ivanovich Kirillov Prolific User Username: soviet Post Number: 1492 Registered: 02-2013 |
I would like to sincerely thank Mr Richard George Yeoman for the third key ring for 2019 tour, his generosity amazes me. Also I would like to thank the Esteemed and Most Wise Moderator David Gore for arranging its delivery at my country lair in outback Queensland. While we are on the subject of these most treasured key rings I would point out that my favourite was the 2017 one that I thought was a bloody pearler. Thanks again Gentlemen. Vladimir Ivanovich. PS in Russia friends use the first and second names ( the second being partrimonic ) in addressing each other on matters serious. And while I am yapping about Russian culture I will inform you that in Russia you never ever attempt to shake the hand of somebody older than you or attempt to talk to them unless you wish to have your block knocked off. Ha Ha A Pecking Order you might say. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Frequent User Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 467 Registered: 05-2016 |
Looks like my Silver Shadow 11 won't be taking the trip to Goodwood, transmission oil cooler pipes to underside of radiator need replacing and there won't be enough time to get it done beforehand. The trusted old W124 Mercedes will have to be brought into action instead. Oh well, at lest the fuel cost saving will help with the funding for the replacement oil cooler pipes. | ||
| Benoit Leus Frequent User Username: benoitleus Post Number: 395 Registered: 06-2009 |
Larry, the W124 was one of the last over-engineered saloons they built and can always be counted on to deliver. | ||
| richard george yeaman Prolific User Username: richyrich Post Number: 1089 Registered: 04-2012 |
Larry sorry to hear about your pipes, but it could be a good move not to take a good car to this type of event, someone might take a fancy to your spirit of ecstacy or give your car a new look paint job. I will forward information about the key for Beachside when I receive it, speak soon. Richard. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Frequent User Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 468 Registered: 05-2016 |
Hi Benoit, Yep they're a very reliable car except it's a 1993 facelift so I had to replace the biodegradable engine wiring look and throttle body loom, since then it's been mostly trouble free. Front wings are beginning to show rust bubbles but replacement bolt-on wings aren't expensive. | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Frequent User Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 469 Registered: 05-2016 |
Hi Richard, At roughly what time do you think you will be arriving at Beachside? | ||
| Larry Kavanagh Frequent User Username: shadow_11 Post Number: 471 Registered: 05-2016 |
See Y'all at Goodwood, I'm hitting the road in a few hours time. Y'all have a safe journey. | ||
| David Gore Moderator Username: david_gore Post Number: 3368 Registered: 04-2003 |
I will be with you all in Spirit but not physically [i.e. in Shadow] - my expectations this year unfortunately did not come to fruition due to work and family constraints. Hopefully, next year........................... | ||

Our 3rd annual Australian Rolls Royce meeting took place over the weekend and was a succes, just as the two previous times. The group went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, an impressive event with loads of fast car action. But our makes were not forgotten with an impressive exhibition of 100 Years of Bentley. The group stayed in 2 different houses : I was staying with Larry, John, Ross and my friend Brecht. Richard, Barry, Stephen and Alan stayed in a another house. It was good seeing old friends again and great meeting Ross, who came over from the US. Now that's dedication ! Ross, you fitted in straight away and we hope to see you again for future meets. A big thank you to Richard, who again did a sterling effort in organizing this. And finally, this year, we have not one but two commemorative key rings : one donated by Richard and one handmade by Ross. I'm already looking forward to our 2020 meeting : any suggestions were to go ?   . | ||

Richard, Thanks for setting things up for this year's get together I had a great time. From the cottage right on the ocean, to the nights at the "The Fox Goes Free" tavern to all the amazing things at the Festival of speed everything was top notch. The best part were all the stories, jokes and laughs with a really great group of people. Cheers all. | ||

Ross I'm betting it was at least a 20 hour flight each way. Bet you were a tired puppy after that. Did anyone take pictures of all the events and cars?

My dear Richard, You are certainly the master host and I am most upset that i missed out this year. Things have been really busy for us lately. But in a good way and that is why I have not been able to get away from work. Mainly because my daughter Sophie has been doing very well with rugby and that is why I have had a few unscheduled flights that i didnt plan - just to watch her play. Here is a flavour of my last visit to Twickenham.....https://twitter.com/BUCSsport/status/1115945683276697600 my next flight is to the Ukraine to watch her play there..... Busy - but nice busy.... Having said that .... I really missed seeing my mates this year. | ||
| richard george yeaman Prolific User Username: richyrich Post Number: 1100 Registered: 04-2012 |
Omar my friend what an event it would have been to have the three owners of the Coveted Silver Shadow jacket in the same photo, I personally missed your company this time round, Roll on 2020. Richard. | ||

Wow Omar! Sophie side steps around the other players better than Vlad side steps the Mt Coolon publican on account payment day! She is amazing mate, what a credit she is to her team, you and your wife. Well done to you all mate. | ||

Spain is the only place I know of where you can walk in malls or wherever totally nude. Riding along in a topless Bentley in Spain might be exciting, and occasionally standing to wave to the crowds. I'm sure in the Emirates there would be a bit of flogging going on. And I doubt they would appreciate if you started yelling spank me, spank me you naughty boy! |
