MY WEEK IN CARS
‘Unexceptional’ could describe both the Subaru
Justy and the Puma ST’s ride
SATURDAY AM
What an amazing world we UK-based car lovers inhabit! We hardly have time to recover from the Goodwood Festival of Speed when the equally wondrous but very different Festival of the Unexceptional is upon us.
I was privileged to join this year’s FotU judges so departed the Cotswolds for Lincolnshire at 4.30am with the Bentley Flying Spur as my calm and cosseting companion. The plan was to beat the traffic, but there wasn’t any, so when I reached Grimsthorpe Castle at 7am, I parked behind shrubs (this competition for £1000 25year-olds isn’t the place to come over all showy in a £250,000 limo) and dozed until others arrived.
