There’s something to be said about the Greenwich Concours, in fact, there are many things to be said for it. Since our friends from Hagerty have taken it over, it has really come into its own while, at the same time, keeping that “approachable” quality that makes it so enjoyable.

Race Week in Monterey – it’s so great to be back!
The reasons were good and many but the reality is that there is simply no possible replacement for the pleasures supplied in inordinate volumes by a full dose of race-week on the Monterey peninsula.

A(nother) great day at the Museum
Count us – and, by extension, you as well, lucky – we have just been able to take another trip to the great museum of the Automobile Club de L’Ouest – the custodian of the 24 hours of Le Mans. It was, as could be expected, a treat, with so many cars and moments encapsulated …

A brand new (ah!) racing series and your brand is associated with it – glorious we say!
Count us lucky – or have we asked you for that favor before? We are so fortunate – having preached the Suixtil gospel for a while now, our friends Pia and Tony, yes them from the Historic Racing Repertoire, approached us with an offer we couldn’t refuse (no animal was armed in the process though): …

Another, the 5th now, glorious edition of the leaky tap 😉
Because things are different in the Netherlands, Alex (our Dutch distributor) is able to enlist aficionados in the middle of the winter. Whether it’s because they have known him for so long, thanks to the participation and support from Octane NL or because they all enjoy some masochistic traits somehow (to brave such a biting …

The Greenwich Concours – another one for the books!
And while, in other part of the world, the Classic Car season has pretty much wound down already, Greenwich CT in the US, benefiting from a very mild micro-climate (and a long Indian summer) just held its annual Concours d’Elegance. This year was the 25th edition and, under the new patronage of our friends at …

The Leaky Tap gets the grease – no, wait….
And there you have it… mixed metaphors simply don’t work. And still, there is much to be said about the Leaky Tap – the Kraantje Lek, in Dutch. Yes, it is a restaurant – located nor very far from the Zandvoort track, where F1 racers used to meet-up for a good time (or three) before, …
