Pics required!The 'rat look' is all the rage over here right now. That and 'patina' drive me nuts. My mate from work has a 1970 Ford Torino GT 429 Super CobraJet drag pac car. It's all original, never restored/painted. It wouldn't be welcome at a concours, but the the wear and tear of 50 years of driving have left their mark. When we go driving and stop for gas, people don't even see my Maserati.
I love genuine patina on a car, but hate fake patina with passion and there is a lot of that about at showsThe 'rat look' is all the rage over here right now. That and 'patina' drive me nuts.

Lovely DB6. Unusual colour
Most of the mechanics etc stay in a lodge style place 30minutes from the circuit. All the important guys stay elsewhere.Where you staying?

Looks like you had some decent weather up here today, been down to Nottingham in the 32 , torrential rain all the way there and all the way back! Cleared up when we got back to Penrith , I think we've been storm chasing lolNot super quality, but a super view from my window.View attachment 74545
Nice. Hideaway headlights too , a fella I know from Whitehaven had a black one (don't know if it was a cosher SCJ car though) , I'll see if I can dig out some pics, it looked a beast. I've not seen another one over here, sadly he had a bit of a wobbler, sold it and bought a Fox body Mustang, the start of a long line of American TinHere is his Torino, since this pic, he has found Calypso Orange fender and door.View attachment 74547

No not that one, though that sounds like a fun story! Im afraid I cant tell you the location etc, but its pretty quant and wine is drinkable.Domaine Long Pre near Stavelot? Stayed there a couple of years ago. One of the guys is ex Lotus, fortunately they didn’t remember him as they were apparently banned from there back in the day.
