When I first met Corto, he was already causing a little bit of trouble with a locked boot… but we did manage to sort that out… in our own way! 😅
I was actually amazed by how much space there is in the boot when I decided to do a little experiment and locked myself inside it, just to make sure I’d still be able to escape if it ever got stuck again…Read More![]()

Corto is usually a very well-behaved Italian. Very masculine, wonderfully elegant, and with a soundtrack that makes every tunnel feel like an event. The 3.5L straight-six is an absolute delight to listen to, and honestly, it might be one of the most comfortable classic GT cars I’ve driven as well.
Most of its adventures are fairly civilised. C…Read More![Profile Photo]()

Southsea is a nice place to visit to have a walk down the pier, the Highstreet there is a bit rough now as a…Read More

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.

Can’t beat going for a drop of Bitter in a classic. Obviously only have one if you are driving. Which is me when taking the Flosse out as I am a bit possessive (Ok very 😉 )
