Motorclassica 2015
Jack (12yo) and I made a flying visit to the excellent Motorclassica show at the Royal Exhibition Buildings this year. As with previous years it’s an eye-watering smorgasbord of sensationally prepared classics on display. I do wonder if any of these cars get driven with any real gusto however, they are simply that clean. The silver Ferrari 250 GT Lusso really left me picking up my jaw from the ground, achingly...
AROCA Sandown Sept 2015
A fine day at Sandown Raceway after a bit of early drizzle. I spent the day officiating and the day went very smoothly, the competitors seemed to enjoy themselves with only the odd mishap. Not too many photos though – too busy! The Brown Hornet attracted a nice bit of attention parked in the pit lane, and quite a few nice...
Run to the North August 2015
We joined a nice group of folk and their cars today on a club drive to the north and a lunch organised by our friends Bruno and Mary.

Not over-endowed with horsepower, but enough to keep up and still plenty of good handling on...
Winton Alfa Racing August 2015
Our second AROCA race meeting was held on a damp and cold day at Winton Raceway. I struggled for rear-end grip because I used some old hard used race rubber on the back. Trying to save some dollars but ended up with a car that was very difficult to drive quickly, constantly wanting to swap ends. Race one I was doing okay and due to a couple of retirements moved up to second place until I spun at turn one on the final...
Hornet On The Road June 2015
Super pleased to have the Brown Hornet on the road thanks to the team at Maranello Pur Sang. The car needed surprisingly little done to be roadworthy – sway bar bushes, steering rack adjusted, one brake hose, and some wiper blades. It’s great fun to punt around in, very light and chuckable and that willing 1.5 boxer engine. It’s been a long time since I’ve driven a standard Sud and I’m not...
