I can't find Jackie Treehorn's post regarding lighting up the rear door strips on his car. I have searched but to no avail.

I would like to light up my R's rear strips.

What was the competition?

"In no more than two words, try to think of a reason why you'd not want a RS3"

The winning entry.... Golf R420 :)

Think I just registered my interest in the RS3, I just wanted to know when it was on the configurator tbh but hey winner winner chicken dinner! Goodwood is a hell of a long way though, but im guessing its worth it?

That would be a great mod Asker if it's fairly simple to do. It's surprising that on a £30k plus car that you only get the feature on the front doors.

A few friends of mine go every year and they love it. It's probably a 200 mile plus trip each way from my neck of the woods but if you're a true petrol head then it's apparently a 'must do'
I've never been mind you.
Most of the hotels in the area will be booked out well in advance so just be prepared to stay a bit further away.
Congrats anyway, that's a pretty cool prize

I've been to Goodwood.

Its ok, as long as you know your difference between a 1963 Ford Cortina L and the GL ("its the trim on the wing mirrors you see" - said in my best nasal train spotter voice).

Other than that, its an expensive place to buy a hamburger.

Is your ticket for the weekend or during the week?

I think its Saturday you get to see the helmeted heads of famous racing drivers doing 40mph over a bumpy driveway in very expensive fast cars (going very slowly).

Go have a look at youtube and see what you will be getting.... only unless you have grandstand seats (extra charge) you will see the top 6 inches of whatever it is going past you behind some hay bales.

It really is just a car geeks thing - its not motorsport, its not really terribly exciting and its mainly for toffs.

hmm ive just been informed my brother is 22 miles away from goodwood at ports uni, looks like my prize has already been gifted away then, never mind i'd probably be knackered from the journey anyway. Would love to see Audi try flogging his student ass an RS3 tho  :grin:
