We didn’t make it to Retromobile this year — doctor’s orders — but fortunately our good friend from Belgium, P. Stubbe, did. And he returned armed with treasure. So much treasure, in fact, that we’ve spent the better part of two weeks agonizing over which images to include and which to (reluctantly) set aside. It’s hardly …

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 …
