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) …

Octane at 250 (issues) still finds time to review our Ibsley…
we feel very fortunate – at a busy time like this, when the mag is all about celebrating their accomplishments to date – of which there are many, of course – the editorial team still finds time for the little guys (that’s us) and e, once again, find ourselves in the big league, thrust between …

…meanwhile, in the old country
As if one place ever had the monopoly on (Suixtil) good times – “que nenni” as they would say in France!

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 …

The Vernasca Silver Flag 2023 – Hillclimb to heaven!
The story of the 27th edition of the Vernasca Silver Flag is really two stories – both very Suixtil as you’ll see. The first one starts with Alex, he of Suixtil Benelux, roping in some friends in the Netherlands to ride down to Piacenza, Italy, taking all the backroads, mountain passes and impossible …

The drum-brake series is back – Silverstone first!
Oh yes, we just love it – our friends Pia and Tony (yes, they of the Historic Racing Repertoire fame) are back with the series – you know the one: the drum brake series. It harks back to a gentler time of sportsmen and impossible cars that bore more than a passing resemblance with those …

Back for more – Peter shows his F1 testimony where it really matters…
Do you know what’s truly best, when you are a distinguished F1 photographer: the long seasonal break, of course – and the ability to escape to warmer climes too – as Peter, our friend and Danish Ambassador has just done.
