    Advice please - Monaco to Bologna in May

    In May, I am planning a trip with a couple of petrol head friends to incorporate the Monaco Classic, followed a week later by the Emilia Romagna GP. The route to Monaco and back from Bologna will be fast but dull utilising the Autoroutes and Autovia (keeping total trip length to a minimum - a...

    Alfa 4C - 400bhp

    I bought a car from these guys last week and saw this fantastic beast. Apparently 50k spent on the full conversion!! It looks even better in the flesh. https://www.midlandscarsourcing.com/used/alfa-romeo-4c-2000-tbi-coupe-2dr-petrol-tct-euro-6-hybrid-turbo-400bhp-in-coleorton-leicestershire/35661

    Two years of 612 ownership comes to an end

    'It is better to have loved and lost than never to have never loved at all' I have bid farewell to my beautiful 612. I know there was some interest in it on here but a good friend from school days really wanted it so I will continue to have the pleasure (and remorse!) of seeing it quite...

    Fastest Jensen Interceptor made

    Dropped in on my friend David at Valley Classics today and he has just collected this to sell. Monster 7 litre Chrysler unit with a 3 double barrel Carbs (too naughty for the US and failed 1972 emissions tests! Probably ok for ULEZ though!) Apparently, 'in this configuration the engine produced...

    RIP Maxi Jazz

    Sad to hear we have lost one of the greatest performers in Dance music. He was also a bit of a petrolhead; a couple of V8 Marcos Mantis, Manual 456 Ferrari, Sierra Cosworth and, as of 2 weeks ago, a Bentley V8 GTC. No more insomnia, RIP.

    Over 2100kg!

    No, not an SUV but the new C63 AMG, which has lost its characterful V8 for a 4 cyl 2.0 hybrid motor.... 465kg heavier than the Alfa QF. Madness and certainly not doing anything for sustainability...

    Top Gear March '22 - my QPV GTS

    Sadly did not make the front page but I am not a fan of the cartoon superhero style. Small but good article by Jason Barlow and 5 minutes of fame for my QP! I will post the actual photo when I receive it - hopefully a good one as I had to stand around in a studio all day! I did not know the Ivan...

    RIP Tony Dron

    A very successful racer but better known to many for his journalism at Motor, Fast Lane, Octane etc. Sadly passed early at 75. Raced a bit at Goodwood too and won a hat trick of Sussex Trophies.

    612 Scaglietti - I blame Richard Grace!

    17 years ago, my wife spotted our current house for sale and, even though we were not looking to move and had recently put in a new kitchen in our barn conversion, we agreed ‘there is no harm in looking’. So, we bought it. Late in 2019 I noticed Richard Grace had particularly nice choice of...
