I prefer events where the cars move. Golf course lawns of old metal just puts me to sleep. On that note, I really want to see Goodwood's Festival of Speed at some point.

I have to agree with Reilly on this, while I have attended my fair share of Concours events I prefer to see these cars at speed and hear them run as God, Enzo, Ettore et al. intended. Which is why I have been attending the Monterey Historic Auto races Since 1976. It's intoxicating the variety of sights and sounds generated by these machines and their pilots. I like Reilly hope to make it to Goodwood, as soon as I convince my wife that we need a vacation in the UK.

I like all the shows at Carlisle Pa,the Auto Fair in Charlotte NC is also a great show!

The concours events are nice to attend, but I'll agree with you folks - Live, moving cars are preferable, by far. Goodwood is a great experience, but even local small events, such as hillclimbs with a vintage class, are fine ways to enjoy these cars in motion. Still, I'd like to go to the Woodward Dream Cruise some August.

My favorite is Amelia Island. Low-key, wonderful cars, and manageable crowds. You can still get a reasonably-priced hotel room, and the event is very well managed.
I have to admit that a trip to Goodwood is at the top of the Wish List.

I agree with others. Goodwood. Someday I'll actually get to see it in person.
