Oh, and one more thing we forgot to mention we had been lucky to experience during our last trip to Argentina in March. We got kindly invited to meet up at a friend’s out of town haven to visit his collection. It is quite the way out of town and one must be prepared to …

Meanwhile, still in Argentina…
And while we were slogging it through bad weather in unknown provinces, Mariano, our colleague from the USA but really from Argentinean descend, was rallying in grand style with friends – a true case of horses for courses right there.

1000 Millas in Argentina – a late X-mas present, just for you…
And there we go again – back to the roots in Argentina. How does that line go – just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in – and of course, it’s not like we offer too much resistance either… what’s there to resist, after – we did call it “the land …

Glorious Nürburgring Classic
Of course the track is not what it once was, of course the spirit that animates those exhibition races is not quite the excitement that once presided over the proceedings being held here. And yet, if anything, the cars have grown more even beautiful with the passing years and their owners ever more determined to …

Amelia Island – Florida’s perfect attraction in March
We had to do it – for you, escape the cold and drudgery of a winter’s tail-end and make it, like snowbirds, to Florida in March, But believe us, it wasn’t all that glamorous and just 5 days before the famed Concours d’Elegance put together by Bill Warner and his team the weathering was cold, …
