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 …

Celebrating the centenary of Le Mans at the Classic? Yes please!
Of course, that was the main reason of our (and about 200 thousands of you as well) visit – the latest edition of Le Mans Classic. Last year (a COVID – remember that – catch-up) was a blast, but could the event sustain the same blistering pace 2 years running? well, the answer is a …
