Limited production vehicles are always interesting to me. I love how they usually have a level of importance and meaning to the manufacturers, the owners, and the community of enthusiasts who have a passion for them. That’s why when a collection of rare Ducati motorbikes showed up the other day, I wanted to dig a […]
Last week, Craig and Gordon travelled up to Kelham Hall in Newark to attend an auction hosted by H&H Classics.

Before Nick left for a couple of days of annual leave, he took these incredible photos of just some of the projects currently in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. For those interested in the technical side:
Earlier this week, Craig and I went to a very enjoyable event, An Evening with Martin Donnelly. Obviously, I was aware of Martin’s career in racing and his devastating accident.

Recently, there’s been a box in Gordon’s office that hasn’t really been given much attention.
