        sharing your opinion! 😂 I’m not sure they’re allowed to put a Bugatti badge on that thing!

          I get Pur Sang replicas to a point. (You may be able to fill me in, are they actually as good as they look and do they run right?) But this, just why. It looks like a T35 has been described by a blind man down the phone to a fella with parkinsons who was drawing it😂

      Did a prom for a nice young gentleman. Was very hot and the car suffered with vapour lock and would not idle in the q so had to let it cool down then drive him in. But he was very happy as it was a total surprise to him. I pulled over to tie the ribbons more taught after a mile as they were flapping all over the place. Lesson learnt there.

        Does anyone else do a bit of charity driving?

        I believe Colin did something similar with Lagonda a few years ago. It’s always lovely to take part in these kinds of events—they really add an extra touch of glamour and class. Considering the temperatures we’ve had over the last week, I think it’s completely understandable that the car suffered from vapour lock. Very well done, and it looks a…Read More

      A photo I found on my PC. Taxi rank in Stockholm. Mid to late 60s.

          Mercedes W110’s Ford Taunus’ Opel Rekord and Plymouth Valient I think. Looks to be before the 3rd of September 1967 as the traffic is still driving on the left.

      Had a marvellous day down at Hart Classics. Even helped my neighbour at the show jump his 53 Chevy Belair after he left his fan on. Good deed done as us petrolheads help each other out.

        What a fantastic gathering! 😊 I do love these classic car shows, and one of the things I enjoy most is seeing how people are always willing to help each other. It never feels like a competition. Everyone is there for the same reason: to keep these wonderful cars on the road and to enjoy them together.
        Sadly, that sense of community seems much…Read More

          If I can help someone I will. I also try to be nice to everyone, its a nice way to live. I can also talk for days…. Talking about the hobby. Well I am not a pensioner and I am big into the scene. I think they younger population of petrolheads is getting sick of the modern babying cars and all the needless tech, and there is increasing popularity…Read More
