    A Le Mans entry, my dear Watson

    Just to advise if you are not aware that this is a total sell out again for 2024. Every entrance, parking, camping and grandstand ticket sold out within a week, with 325k fans expected. There are some practice days left and there is a ticket resale section on the ACO website. I could have sold...

    Cambridgeshire / Norfolk small car show Sun 3rd Sept '23 (edited)

    If I can tempt the Mrs to come Sam, then as the weather is looking superb, I’ll try and come as it looks like u can’t make PH this year. No way she will get in the 40, but her recently acquired 630 cab is like a GC missing 2 cylinders and hit with the ugly stick, but it is a comfy way to catch...

    Pentney Lakes Car Show, Nr Kings Lynn, Norfolk Sun 20th August

    Sorry I couldn’t make this Sam. I have a big Birthday coming up EOM and the Mrs family who are in Yorkshire organised a party for me this past W/E. Will be going to Petrolheadonism again with the GT40 so hope to bump into you again there if you are going this year?

    The road to ruin: Le Mans 2023

    What a great idea! Do you know if that “Cheval Blanc” building behind the brolly in the photos is up for sale by any chance? Would make a great holiday rental property

    The road to ruin: Le Mans 2023

    Sorry Matt, but managed to flog the whole package via AMOC member forum. They had entrance and parking, but we’re happy to pay for the lot just for the 3x superb g/stand seats.

    360 PPI Midlands

    I need a PPI undertaken on a 360 Spider near Stoke on Tent. I was thinking of Marios at Autoshield in Manchester as well known for Masers but not sure he does Dancing Donkeys? I think it’s a bit too far away for Matt & Co at Autoitalia, so does anyone have any recommendations? Thx

    The road to ruin: Le Mans 2023

    I have quad 48IDF’s on the 40 for racing, and agree that getting started on them and then running at low revs is virtually impossible. Started and running on the Holley for now on the road whilst it’s getting sorted for the season. Just out of winter hibernation and have a box of bits to fit...

    Le Mans 24H & Classic 2023 Accommodation

    Just to let everyone know that after a few very poor years due to Covid that I’m fully booked for both the 24H & Classic for 2023. Ive had a few PM’s from previous guests and prospectives on the Forum, so thought I should let you know. I’ve been very oversubscribed for both events as it’s the...

    Steve McQueen at Petrolheadonism 2022 Knebwoth

    Everything from “Max Power” Novas to An AM Vulcan and complete with burnouts and dyno runs. A fab day in beautiful autumn weather. Harry Redknap was there giving out prizes for some reason and I met lots of the YouTubers like Scme150, Matt Armstrong and Tavarish drove my GT40. Sam McGoo of this...

    550 Maranello v 612 Scaglietti

    100% agree. I have a Concours winning AM Vanquish SDP that was the car always put up against the 550/575 in contemporary road tests (mine was the AML press car and thus the actual car in many of those tests). Market is dreadful for these too ATM at about half its value of 5 years ago. Unless you...

    Snetterton Classic 16th & 17th July

    Was a great event and not too hot. A mate was kind enough to take some film and I’m very pleased with the awesome noise…..and it didn’t break down this time either. Result! https://youtube.com/shorts/sJ7g2pVXEng?feature=share

    Snetterton Classic 16th & 17th July

    A new event similar but smaller than the Silverstone and Donnington events next weekend on the 200 circuit. I’m there for the Amon Cup race for GT40’s so be good to see any of you there. Timetable attached and tickets available on line...

    Le Mans Classic

    I did a road rally in it this weekend just gone. 80 miles was more than enough. Deaf and aching and headache from being at exhaust level behind other cars and breathing in fumes. Total respect for those who drove them for 24H at 200 mph down the Mulsanne…..at night….in the rain. Just Wow!
