We lead our pics this week with the classic Mansell look being sported by (a slightly older) Nigel Mansell at Goodwood. Then it’s a random scrapbook of photos from Jonny and Richard’s visit including recording in the showman’s trailer, the BMW M Car sculpture lit up for an exclusive party (Smith and Sniff being thrown out, not pictured), two flutes running up the Goodwood hill, that amazing Bucciali TAV8-32 Saoutchik Fleche d’Or, Jonny sitting in a Radical he’s just vandalised with a Smith and Sniff sticker, that creepy robot dog and the unsettling STOP ROBOT laptop, posing with Andy from the excellent Andy’s Fish & Chip shop in Chichester, the ‘functional’ accommodation, and another picture of that room in which Jonny told Richard to pretend he was a young offender full of regret for nicking all those cars.

If I am remembering good the France, Flèche D'Or is 'Golden Arrow'. And Richard, the right ratio to mix a Pimm's is 2:1 and 3:1 mixer to Pimm's. Not 100:1 that's verging on the homeopathic!

Lord Match should host a 6am fun run up the hill, required for all attendees

Colin Kao

Sniff looking like he's having an existential crisis sitting on the bed, wondering why "the rake a lake" show would work for gardening in a flood

Adam Q

Loving the Butlitz holiday accommodation !

Paul Fargher

Is it just me or does that Boston doggy look like a Caterham with legs in that pic?

Will Laycock

“4739 Smith and 4740 Sniff, sir”

Tim C

SAAB-marine, shurely?

Stephen McCourt

I did spend a moment wondering WTF is in an imitation duck wrap, then thought better of it. Maybe it was one of those decoy ducks that hunters use. So, plastic, wood, cork, glass fibre.. the options are endless.

Dark Newt

I found myself getting annoyed on their behalf. Two giants of automotive journalism, put in degrading digs, not provided with any way to get some dinner and a drink, not given access to any evening events etc. I'd very definitely have had a "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??" moment.

Dark Newt

McLaren F1 shift knob probably not a Golf one but the BMW Motorsport one (originally from the WTCC days) p/n 25118277905

Peter Banco

What 3 words: Flesh Wand Spowt. I wonder where that would take me? Those digs look very Punishment Class. No man should have to sleep near (up to) 3 other men, in a wipe clean environment. Jesus, you got shafted there chaps.

The McMurtry's speed made a bit more sense once it became clear that he spent his early days working on the engines for the Concorde.

Brendan McAleer

Have a feeling it’s been mentioned on the podcast before, which is why I was confused by the duck references until it transpired it was imitation duck and I wasn’t paying attention.

Ed Storer

More Boston Dynamics dog stuff https://youtu.be/Z3-Fx-flm6M

david marden

Does That room double as a working man’s strip club ??

Alex frost

I'm distressed to learn - after all this time - that Jonny is a vegetablairian. Feels a bit like the wife idly mentioning over dinner that until she left university she was called Barry and rode a Lambretta. What other scandalous secrets are you concealing?

Dark Newt

Your holding cell was quite spartan.

Elliott Levy

In my childhood the poncey way to get to Paris was aboard the Golden Arrow from Victoria Station. Of course, once it crossed the channel and was running on French rails it became the Flèche d’Or. Started in 1929, discontinued 1949-46, electrified in 1962, discontinued 1972. Here’s a picture of it in its pomp: https://images.app.goo.gl/JyguiSY6xUgupfTQ6

Chris Rayner

I’m not yet fully awake, but I was confused why there was a photo of a Lego Caterham 7 on legs.

Giant Iain

The speed of that McMurtry is incredible. Watching it go up the hill (on YouTube) baffled my mind

James Dilkes

Any land that one wees on should be yours by default. I would own half of England.

Peter Heamon

Was Dumas vaping, up the hill, in the Terrrwaaaaaaanzitttttt-aahhhhhhhh?

Peter Heamon

My wife and I used to refer to QW as 'The Salamander' when he was on TG.

Peter Heamon

Dream car? Porsche McLaren TAG continuation. MMMmmmm.....

Peter Heamon

Oh, I put 'Our Nige' (not mine BTW) in the same bleep bracket as Jonathan Palmer.

Peter Heamon

Absinthe is, I think, the least dense liqueur (0.89), apart from pure ethanol (0.79). Got a feeling either would result in a spectacular result if drunk by the yard.

Peter Heamon

Sadly didn't see you chaps. Or indeed any of Jonny's future selves.

Peter Heamon

Fléche d'Or is, if my schoolboy french is to trusted, Arrow of the Air. Maybe. Oops, Golden arrow. At least it's not golden shower.

Peter Heamon

...or Pontins' "interview room" for prospective poledancers? Can't find a better word to describe it than yours..."grim" sums it up perfectly.

Chris Squirrel

I know Sir David McMurtry quite well, he was at our wedding as a guest of my brother in law, who has worked for him for 40 years & my Father in law is in Rotary with him both 82 and never seem to stop. Another McMurtry fact is the last episode of Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch was filmed at his very high tech house next to his main factory.

Nigel Hancock

Did Jonny use the stripper pole?

Bill

Shitting crikey, that room looks grim! We're you in the Poledancing Suite at Pontins?

Martin Mees

Thanks for putting all your goodwood goodness in one place.

Robin White

Sorry we missed you, gents, Owain and I were on the lookout for some free badge action on Thursday and Friday but managed to be where you were not for the entire 2 days
