Brooklands motor sport day 2019

A V8 in a GT40

It was my final visit to Brooklands for 2019 and I was hoping for decent weather. As you can see from the video and images, I spent some time looking at the assembled cars. There was not an overwhelming number,

Concours of Elegance 2019

Concours of Elegance Hampton Court 2019 I’ll do that again. This was my first visit to the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court and, assuming it is repeated, it won’t be my last.  The event reminded my of the early

VSCC 85th Anniversary Celebrations Brands Hatch

VSCC 85th Anniversary Celebrations Brands Hatch

It comes to something when you realise that the VSCC is only 15 years older than you are. I suppose that’s why Brands Hatch didn’t allow concessions on the entry fee on 24 August. I was en route to elsewhere

How to look ridiculous and sinister at the same time

I’m feeling old. I suppose I am oldish, although I don’t feel it. Mind you, I can see why many men refuse to shave once they retire. Staring at the stranger’s face in a mirror every morning is a bit

Goodwood Festival of Speed, 2019

Goodwood Festival of Speed, 2019

The 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed was as it always is: different in detail. What I love about it is the fact that you can wander around the cars as they are on display – with a few exceptions –

Brooklands Double 12, 2019

Brooklands Double 12, 2019

When thinking of a veteran racing car meeting at Brooklands, most people would consider it consisted of a lot of late middle-aged men staring at something old. To an extent, as can be seen, they’d be right. A better way

Life’s lessons all in one go

I used to enjoy Tomorrow’s World, the BBC’s flagship science for the masses programme. There were the usual ‘in five years’ myths perpetuated and some non-functioning revolutionary inventions which I can say from personal experience were put into production. I

British marques we’ve lost

British marques we’ve lost

I drifted off to the Brooklands museum in Weybridge in late April to see the British Marque’s day. It was handy as at 1 o’clock I could drift over to Mercedes-Benz World to watch the Azerbaijan GP in their cinema.

London to Brighton Emancipation Run 2018

London to Brighton Emancipation Run 2018

There’s something compulsive about the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. As you can see from the page title, I’ve always, and continue to, call it the Emancipation Run. I’ve no idea why this title seemingly fell out of fashion
