Last Friday, I visited the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show with Discovery+. It was really good to be able to visit a motor show again and to see the many familiar happy faces of the classic car owners, groups and specialist traders. Once again, this show manages to take my mind down “car memory lane" [...]
For those of you that follow me on various social media platforms, you would already know that I popped along to the Supercar Fest at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb. I have to admit it was good to see/smell the petrol/oil and burning rubber on the tarmac from all the supercars going up the hill. The [...]
Last Saturday I visited the Autosport International Show at the NEC Birmingham. This is always an exciting time because it is officially the start of the 2020 Motorsport Season.

It uses the same underpinnings as its Peugeot Citroen brothers. The interior is rather welcoming [...]
The time had come and the VW ID.3 was the first car I raced to find at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show 2019. Why? Because VW has been saying that this car is their 3rd major milestone in history (the 1st being the Beetle and 2nd the Golf). First impressions, on viewing it from the outside, [...]
Now that I am back home after my trip to the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show 2019, I have been doing some thinking. A few of the big manufacturers were not at this year’s show. It did mean however that the ones that did attend could spread themselves out with huge stands. Two themes stuck out [...]
The other night, whilst scrolling through my pictures from this year’s Geneva International Motor Show, to my horror I realised I had forgotten to post a short news blog on one of my favourite cars from the show. - The MANIFATTURA AUTOMOBILI TORINO New Stratos.
