What a brilliant concept, “Drive Dad’s Car”! As well as the focus of the museum as such.

Also very refreshing to read an honest review of the Triumph TR7 by a sufficiently stylish groover like Dave.

I must […]

That Aston Martin DB4! At that price it seems ridiculous to state that it seems such good value against the DB5 – but then I always loved the DB4.

And the Triumph Stag in what I believe is Topaz? Great […]

You could certainly have done worse than that CD, @dave. In one of my cars (not so modern as yours and therefore on cassette) I had a Dr. Hook compilation which always made me wonder how few great songs they […]

Such a great car, the Marcos GT: I absolutely agree that it is a viable alternative to an E-type. Although in direct comparison it has several shortcomings to the Jag it balances them out with that lovely bonkers- […]

Thanks, @Tony! I’ll actually try to set up a comparison test with the Deauville and an XJ at some later stage as the similarities are really very obvious.

And in terms of wording we certainly consider the car […]

Thanks, gentlemen!

Ehrm, obviously that is only the main tour of 2021: I sure hope to put together lots and lots of smaller trips as well…in something else, maybe.

I’ll be going to the Alps in my Alpine A310: My wife as codriver and good company in the form of friends in Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Iso and Porsche. Simple living!

And no, you should not just fly instead, that’s […]

True that complex does not necessarily mean better, but then it doesn’t have to be: In the Super-GT-class of cars it just has to be more desirable, and nothing beats a V12 in that respect.

Well, it IS a star already – well always was, in fact, as the car was undeniably both fast and beautiful. But at the same time is is definitely true that the off-the-shelf engines hold the Grifo back.

I would […]

That could be an extremely interesting plot, @yrhmblhst, as that would require Bernie to get back too. I am all for it, actually!

I absolutely LOVED this period of touring car racing that spawned no less than three great modern classics: The M3, the Mercedes 190 and the Sierra RS Cosworth. However I also loved the years that went immediately […]

Relativity is a wonderful thing. Without it the world would be a more boring place AND it would be difficult to tell.

Regarding classics I think it is important to remember that while they might not be as safe […]

Yes, and enjoy them we can: It is amazing how active the owners are on the historic motorsport scene, as considering the cars are amongst some of the most rare in the world (a tenth of the production of the fames […]

Trust and an equal approach to driving probably goes hand in hand here, @dave Leadbetter. But as you are right in so far as the matter can not be calculated absolutely objectively any penny pincher should probably […]
