'Royale Flush' at Goodwood
The Editor reviews the 2007 Goodwood Festival of Speed, a sometimes wet event that nevertheless included a display of five of the six Bugatti Royales. The collective value of the the five cars was estimated at in excess of $60,000,000. Charles also looks ahead to this year's wonderful Revival meeting.

Pat Garland Playboy Racer Part I
Patrick Arthur Talbot Garland was born in 1916 with not a silver, but with a gold spoon in his mouth, into a wealthy land-owning family. With his father's death in 1944, Garland inherited £500,000 (worth some £25 million in 2007) and proceeded to use the money to finance an emergetic post-War driving career that included foreign races in cars such as the ex-Louis Gerard Delage D6-75, the car that won the 1938 Donington TT.

The 1936 Delahaye 135M
Peter Agg and Ann Read tell the story of how a 1930s exotic car was rescued from a 'corrugated lean-to, in the mud, behind a large house in India'.

Raindrops Have Fallen On My Face
Neville Hay sums up a busy June that included the Goodwood Festival (wet), the Le Mans 24 Hours race (very wet) and looks forward to hopefully better weather at the Britsih Grand Prix and Silverstone Classic.
