The last time the Joker left the workshop, it came home through three days of torrential rain during the Bugatti Reliability Run.
It survived.
But not without a few complaints.
A slipping clutch. Starter motor troubles. A growing list of jobs that needed attention before the next adventure.
And the next adventure is a big one.

I saw this on the Brooklands Members FB group. Nice picture of the cars and if I am not mistaken Gromit on the right hand side? I love Brooklands. I take my Fintail to all of the big shows. I will attach a picture of NYD when I was parked next to another Fintail (You don’t see 2 fintails together much in England…) There is always a massive variety.

It’s a fantastic place. Well worth a trip down for a show. Like Easter or NYD.

There are so many things to see! I think I’ve only been there twice, in a month, once when I’ve done a livestream and now with the BUGs and I still haven’t had the chance to explore everything 🙃

So this was taken on their new year day meet 26. Its a massive show full of like minded people. It also has a huge variety. Very rare to see two fintails at a show in the UK. Mine is the w111 (6cyl) on the left and there was a w110 (4cyl) too which had come all the way from Cardiff!

What a fantastic experience. I was lucky to drive the Joker for three days through everything from glorious sunshine to storms and torrential rain.
We had a few issues along the way, but nothing serious enough to stop us from finishing the rally and getting back every night.
There are still repairs to do, of course, but I suppose that’s p…Read More

I’m currently in Romania visiting my parents! Despite the five-hour drive, I was very determined to show you guys, and myself at the same time 😄, the biggest car collection in Romania, belonging to the richest man in the country, Ion Țiriac!
The livestream can be found on my YouTube channel. I was astonished by the condition of both the cars an…Read More

You are absolutely right! It was the Spring rally and around 25 Bugs! Gromit was there, I’m working on preparing a new series with it 😁 #spoileralert
