The Engine Block in Dublin is the motoring hub for a few classic business here in Dublin, Deane Motors & Franklin Motorcycles plus a trimmer, detailing and sales etc. https://theengineblock.ie/directory/ Unfortunately this was the scene last night, one mechanic suffered minor injuries but no...

For various family reasons my buddy and I are not doing Le Mans this year but instead are taking a short weekend break to Lake Como for the Villa D'Este Concours, https://www.concorsodeleganzavilladeste.com/, knowing how well traveled the members here are any suggestions for good places to eat...

Just booked flights and hotels to go to Como for this as a boys trip away. Unfortunately not in the select few (super rich) who go to the actual event just for the public shows on Saturday & Sunday but we will get to see the concours parade and I'm sure we will get to sample the Italian cuisine...

With the breaking news that Hamilton is going to Ferrari for 2025 the 2024 Fantasy F1 league has been set-up. https://fantasygp.com/ Same league name as last year - Sport Maserati and entry code below everyone is welcome, although we might need to handicap Dan ;) My Fantasy GP League Code...

Despite Ewan's warning of restoration and running costs I still like these. This one is from a reputable dealer, manual car in a great colour scheme with low miles for not silly money. Is it too late to change my Dear Santa list? https://simonfurlonger.co.uk/cars/show.php?id=1367

Well it' s December so can we start Christmas yet?

Rarely see Maserati's over here and it is unusual to see an original Irish car up for sale, especially one with low miles and with some hefty recent work on clutch, brakes and suspension. Might have to keep an eye on this one as looking at the guide price it would be much cheaper than bringing...

Major excitement over here as the Irish think they have a chance but hey have heard that before. Doesn't look great for England but the French girl in my team will be very happy with their start against the All Blacks

Another friend who lives in France has just collected his "other" Fulvia from restoration in France. @philw696 looks like you have competition ;) "Collected my other girl "La Mia Fulvietta" yesterday from the Lancia wizards (Guy, Adrien and Peter) in Laval. At 53 years old she is better than...

Spent the day going over the 525 Touring to determine how much TLC it needed. Started with it looking like this and ended up with it looking a lot better and I now know where all the scratches are Time for a beer

Well after best part of 4 or 5 years I have decided to replace AndyKs old 2001 325i which I bought for the princely sum of £950, over the that time it has covered 30k miles and apart from the odd wear and tear items, battery, suspension bushes, brake pipes and service items it has been true to...

So 2023 F1 Testing has started so the season will be following quickly. I have set up an SportsMaserati F1 Fantasy league for this season, currently a couple of you have joined but if anyone else fancies joining. Simple stuff you sleet 3 drivers and 3 teams within pretty tight budget and you...

I see Kirstie Alley from Cheers has died aged 71, one of the few American comedy series I watched - RIP https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63868992

Due to the accident I haven't been using the classics much which got me thinking and a trip to the NEC further added to the turmoil. I have 5 classic cars, 3 in use and 2 in the process of restoration and even in normal times I can only drive one at a time. They all have their qualities which...

Another from the past has left us, Leslie Phillips (98) pretty good innings for a cad ;) RIP https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63557414

As mentioned a few weeks ago I walked into a 2 door 147 that was cheap but needed attention. The attention was a knackered engine but I knew where there was a replacement so decided to take a punt as at the price I would make money just breaking it. Got the car to my mate who dabbles with...

For a fraction of the new build cost one of the very few Spiders that has had the full Alfaholics GT-R treatment and no waiting list. Love how they have faded strength to the shell with a well hidden rollbar Alfaholics Spider GT-R

Planning has started early for this event mainly due the fact that out kit storage shed is falling down and the owner of the land its on has offered to pay for a new one as long as we build it - let the planning begin

Always loved these but I know I shouldn't Collecting Cars - Maserati Kyalami

Has Ewan bought another ? Mercedes 300 SLR “Uhlenhaut coupé” – the world’s most expensive car
