First of all, we’d want to ask you to spare a thought for Robbert. You know him as our Dutch Ambassador and the talented photographer who, year after year, has been bringing these glorious views back from all those events we dreamt of attending but just couldn’t – or at least not with the access …

Another edition of the Vernasca Silver Flag – count us in!
And so it went – one minute the excitement is at its very peak, we know the recipe by now: a welcoming Italian village and a great combination of friendship, food and fumes (in no particular order).

All part of life’s rich pagent – in Balcarce
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?

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.

28th edition of the Vernasca Silver Flag
And there it was, again, time for that blessed race in the Italian hills of Piacenza, under the good auspices of Claudio Casale and his team of volunteers and assorted magicians and geniuses.

Members’ Meeting at Goodwood
We are so very fortunate that we have many friends – some, like Robbert, who also happens to be our Dutch Ambassador, with such a talent at capturing the moments that matter most that one wonders why they need another job. Might it be just so that they would not put us to complete shame …

A road trip to Argentina – with a purpose (of course)… – Part I
Visiting Argentina is an experience and more – let us tell you about our latest trip, just this past month. As a preamble, it should be noted that we’d been there before – some 20-odd years ago – and that we have also been around a few other places, often taking the proverbial (and literal) …
