Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Jensen Interceptor or Aston Martin DB6 – Tough Choice? 5 years, 8 months ago
Well, @monzapolis, it might be another thing by name but it is still pretty recognizable where the FF came from, so I’d would put too much into the difference. And I guess neither would Sir Stewart: What he could […]

Let this twenty minute video be your solace for the lost races of 2020.
A week ago Dave Leadbetter of ViaRETRO-columnist fame summed up 2020 as “Motorsport’s Lost Season” and he was right too. Whether from his […]

Annus Horibilus for motorsport, I agree: I usually comment a handful of race weekends per year but all were called off – and those two that DID go forward were without spectators and thus without commentary. […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Jensen Interceptor or Aston Martin DB6 – Tough Choice? 5 years, 8 months ago
Well I DID chose the Jensen, as Tony wrote above.
However this was not really a choice as such as the Aston is quite simply out of my reach and in my case never considered as an alternative. Quite […]

“Coachbuilt” is a term I don’t take lightly.
Sure an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a fine youngtimer and I’m well aware that it has its loyal fans already. Primarily among alfisti, a fact that can largely be […]

Speed is not of the essence and what is fast anyway? 200 km/h is, I tell you.
I was almost embarrassed to admit it when I acquired a really fast car, because I’ve always been much smitten with style, sound, […]

Me too, @tony. And the irony of the Excellence name being stuck to something that it was not really as excellent as the earlier Facel’s.

Very sharp analysis in this article and most amusing automotive read I’ve had in a very long time!
I think however @Dave has fallen for an urban myth that stems from the 1974 Chrysler Cordoba, @yrhmblst – only […]

I do have a broad taste in cars, have owned a few and hope many more will come. But once upon I time I just wanted a Nova. Confession time!
Really, really broad taste, in fact. Currently my garage amongst others […]

I just KNEW you could put some perspective on this, @yrhmblhst!
However I think it is important to arrive in style – ALWAYS. You do not actually have to kill someone for that to matter.
And then there is […]

There is an internet myth circulating that the French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre supposedly used to drive a Dodge Dart. Granted, it’s an amusing thought, but he didn’t.
The Frenhman is one of our time’s […]

The Stag and the Europa sure would complement my Scimitar brilliantly: Cue a long discussion over yellow vs. orange.
And the Interceptor just makes me plain envious.

Well done, Dave: I LOVE the seat belt detail!
Even though this exact part of a car is certainly better of not being thirty years old I see what you mean and I am sure you’re even quite right: It WILL matter to someone.

Kudos to the organisers to go forward with this and many thanks to our roving reporter to be there to tell the tale: With creative takes like the age old drive-in concept our hobby can indeed be very socially […]

Yes it should! Not only because of the design but also because it is probably a lot more usable than said competitors. I have always loved the design of the Bora but when I recently drove one it turned out that it […]

Roadsters and convertibles were almost an extinct breed in the early eighties. Maybe that’s why Eurythmics sang so longingly about them in 1982?
The eighties. I was there myself. During the period I actually felt […]

Sensory overload! The two yellow Ferraris. Pale Blue DB4 GT. 917. GTO, Miura SV. Wow, simply wow.
I need some of this…at least to see at a show, I mean. Thanks for this glimpse of greatness, @tony.

But otherwise that Triumph is a nice car too, @peter – shame about the training suit.

I actually don’t quite remember whether I was really all that interested in tennis back in the eighties? Still, I knew very well who Martina Navratilova was: And she was good!

What a great colour combination for the Silhouette! It almost compensates for the Dino with the terrible wheels. I wonder what was the point of THAT?
That question doesn’t arise with Astons: All are great, […]
