When Hilaire and Laura Damiron came from Mexico to visit the Fangio Museum in Balcarce, they received nothing short of the royalty treatment. Is it because of their deep connections to motor racing? Or the inexhaustible gift from Argentineans to welcome their visitors? Or a combination thereof? Who knows. Let it be noted, though, that …

A new (and alas, last) edition of Techno Classica
We have been told that this would be the last edition of Techno Classica in Essen – one of the major European fairs that has been going for eons (or so it seems) now. Of course, it had grown just ever so big. Of course, the facilities where antiquated and felt inadequate. And yet, year …

A season first & welcome return – the Kraantje Lek Revival
There you have it, and you waited long enough for this as well: the first (of hopefully many) photo reportage from far inside the Suixtil universe, thanks to Alex (of course, he of Suixtil.nl) who organizes this rally event for the 6th (already!!!) times. Thanks also to Robbert, our friend and Dutch Ambassador – a …

Your Christmas present, delivered early…
And there we are, again, gifting you these incredible opportunities to go travelling without moving – who (except JK, of course) knew? Anyways, we are probably overstating our case, granted that this trip is offered to you not by us – we so wish – but rather by, you’ve guessed, our friend Willy, the very …

Velocity Invitational (again) thanks to Dave!
How lucky are we – really – when, come to think of it – thanks to Dave, the consumate BARC Boy himself, we get shown around the Sonoma track and get to spy on Nazdar (his trusted 2002) and his own exploits. We even, get this, to hear about how he went on to finish …

A(nother) drum brakes series – just for you!
Another rainy September weekend at the Castle Combe track but that’s never stopped true enthusiasts before and certainly not those who’ve enlisted in the Drum Brake series created by our friends Pia and Tony under the good auspices of the HSCC. So here they went – full steam ahead and, lucky us, they were spotted …

A(nother) great edition of the Goodwood Revival!
Are we lucky or what? It was Revival time again this early September (apologies for the delay) and we got to go (again). Thanks to our local partners at Me & My Car, who had doubled down on the exhibition space, the Suixtil presence was even better than in the past – and, with the …

If only life could be a (Pebble, of course) beach…
So it was that time of the year for our yearly pilgrimage to that blessed spot of California where afficionados gather for Car Week in August. And you best believe it turned out grand, as expected. Well, we – on the Suixtil front – experienced a slight malfunction as we eneded up not exhibiting but, …

A Watkins Glen tragedy (of sort)…
This one came straight from Dave, our friend and US Ambassador and a BARC Boys at heart, and it is a sad story, with all the elements of a Greek (Suixtil) tragedy – well, some at least. But here we go, not about to shy away from the truth, we’ll bare it all – not …
