Went on a company sponsored day out to the Goodwood Revival today.
I was there on Saturday, - didn't see the Djet, but I assume you got to get inside the "dress-code" area. Pescarolo was driving a car there - but it wasn't a Matra. It looked a bit like a Cortina or Anglia, / but I have forgotten (and haven't got the programme at hand) :/ There was also a lovely Daytona Coupe on the track, and one of the equally lovely Superformance Peter Brock replicas/newbuilt in the parkinglot. I will also post pictures, as soon as I get them sorted and selected. My weekend also saw me as passenger in an Ultima Can-Am, visiting the Ariel factory to pick up an Ariel Atom (no, not me, but a friend of mine :-) ) - pictures will follow. /Lennart

It must have been your hair after the Ultima experience that prevented you from entering any dress code areas! Or did you forget to take off your vagabond costume? ![Grin](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Must have been a great weekend ![Smiley](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm looking forward to your photos! - Anders

I have a picture of my son in the Ultima, while they shot past us on the M3 - and its not just the hair which is affected, - his whole face is distorted from the kick in the back acceleration. Unfortunately the rearview mirror obscures the middle of his face, so the picture isn't very usable :-) I thought my 3.0l V6 406 Coupe was rather nippy in mid accelerations, but having tried the Ultima (with half the weight and three times the power) it feels utterly dead ![Smiley](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Or did you forget to take off your vagabond costume? ![Grin](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I'm known to live in my own times, with no (or very old) knowledge of fashion, so I should have fitted in nicely :-) Pictures are being sorted - hope to get them uploaded later this evening. For now, here is a picture of Pescarolo racing. /Lennart

A word of warning to everyone thinking they like their job: Don't look at the Ariel Atom factory photos!!!
yeah nice eh? I did tell the very friendly people that they must have the best jo in the world, to which they responded: "oh yes, we don't seem to have any problems turning up for work in the mornings :-)" Most of the "dirty" production is done by subcontractors (chassis, suspensionarms etc) - the factory simply assembles the cars from nice clean, powder-coated parts. It looked just like the pictures in a Haynes manual. Clean and inviting. sigh, back to work. /Lennart
