    360 PPI Midlands

    I need a PPI undertaken on a 360 Spider near Stoke on Tent. I was thinking of Marios at Autoshield in Manchester as well known for Masers but not sure he does Dancing Donkeys? I think it’s a bit too far away for Matt & Co at Autoitalia, so does anyone have any recommendations? Thx

    Le Mans 24H & Classic 2023 Accommodation

    Just to let everyone know that after a few very poor years due to Covid that I’m fully booked for both the 24H & Classic for 2023. Ive had a few PM’s from previous guests and prospectives on the Forum, so thought I should let you know. I’ve been very oversubscribed for both events as it’s the...

    GC Centennial - 2nd Time Lucky?

    I was all set to buy a GC Centennial in exactly this colour and spec and had arranged for Matt to inspect it, when I suddenly got the urge to spend vastly more on a GT40 That car is totally nuts and Ive terrified myself racing it and don’t regret it for a moment, but it’s hardly suitable to...

    Steve McQueen at Petrolheadonism 2022 Knebwoth

    Everything from “Max Power” Novas to An AM Vulcan and complete with burnouts and dyno runs. A fab day in beautiful autumn weather. Harry Redknap was there giving out prizes for some reason and I met lots of the YouTubers like Scme150, Matt Armstrong and Tavarish drove my GT40. Sam McGoo of this...

    Porsche Cayenne Twin Turbo For Sale

    This is heading to Anglia Cars Classic Auction next month unless anyone on here wants it? I’m selling it as it’s just not used these days. I bought it 5 years ago to use as the support vehicle for my racing (not to tow as I have a VW transporter flatbed) but to carry the team and their kit...

    Italy 2, Germany 2, England 3

    After 6 years and 50k miles, our 16 YO BMW 523i shopping runabout needed replacing. My wife who is the main driver wanted to downsize to a 5 door hatch, and following trouble free ownership of our Mito (albeit it hardly ever gets driven), she agreed to forgo the default choices of a BMW 1 series...

    Le Mans Classic 2022

    We've had a cancellation of a long term repeat booking for the 2022 LMC as the son of a father/son duo that stay regularly has taken up racing a BMW and has UK race commitments that coincide with LMC. If any of you would like to book our apartment overlooking the Hotel de France in La Chartre...

    It was a year ago today…….

    That I sold my Grancab to Dickie Grace to provide some garage space and part fund the purchase of my Gelscoe-built GT40P/1067 Toolroom copy. I really do miss it and have just watched the JayEmm review again to make me even sadder. During my 2 years with it, I took it to my home near Le Mans a...

    Dry Ice Blasting / Detailing

    Anyone tried this in the U.K. and can recommend a provider? Uses dry ice pellets to clean away grease, oil etc without abrasion so seems ideal for the underside of cars for a Concours saddo like me!

    Norfolk Coast Meet #2. Sat 10th July @ 10.00

    Following the very positive feedback on the venue and format from the meet on 29th May, I’m planning the same for Sat 10th July and praying for similar weather. As before, this is about as informal as it can be, and is simply a meet from 10.00 in a car park to talk and look at cars alongside a...

    Like This Spyder. Anyone know it?

    Since selling my Grancab I have no convertible in the fleet. Been looking at Fiat Barchetta’s or Alfa Spiders to buy as a cheap solution, then saw this. Seems so much car for the money and that V8, but is this going to cost me about the same putting it right? MOT history is the usual warnings...

    Drive It Day 2021 is Today 25th April

    Perfect weather for it In Norfolk today so no excuses. Taking the 40 for a run shortly whilst the roads are quiet, then even the concours winning garage-Queen Vanquish is coming out of its Carcoon for a blast! Just wish I still had the GC on such a sunny day. It’s still for sale BTW at a dealer...
