The FC is alive!
After about 10 years of being laid up, the ‘vert is alive again! Thanks to Jason@Revs, a few tweaks by Sean@Boostworx, and a halfday of detailing by MattK, the old girl is running great, and looks amazing. I was planning on moving her along (after 25 years of custodianship!) but as my new house has […]

Kev hits Europe
When my brother Kev passed last year, I “inherited” a pair of sunglasses that he had in his car. Kev had planned on going to the UK this year to visit with his mates at beloved West Ham FC, but sadly that never eventuated. We had also spoken of visiting all our relatives in the […]

Meet Jeff!
Dani mentioned in passing one day that she had been into a Garden Centre/Pet store (Olivers) and they had a very friendly and cool Bearded Dragon sitting on the counter. I happened to be driving past Olivers a couple of days later, and thought I’d pop in for a looksee, as I’ve always had a […]

The Brooklands Complex
I’m sure that anyone who has followed Motor Racing for a while has heard of the Legendary Brooklands, the world’s first purpose-built ‘banked’ motor racing circuit, and also one of Britain’s first airfields. Brooklands has an amazing history, housing Britain’s largest aircraft manufacturers in the early 1900’s, providing invaluable support through the second World War, […]

3D Printing
It’s been AGES since I posted anything here – life has been a bit hectic! Since my last post I’ve acquired a 3D Printer, and thought I’d share with you my first customised project. I’ve had a CCTV Board sitting on a cardboard eggbox for a couple years nows, as I wasn’t able to source […]

An Aussie Road Trip
This road trip that I’m going to share with you came about as a result of an accidental internet find. I was looking through some websites of Australian Car Museums and noticed that one I particularly wanted to visit (sometime) was going to close down in a few months! Lost in the 50’s would be […]

Kilgarvan Motor Museum
Before you enter the sheds that house the museum, there are some very pretty gardens, and bits and pieces strewn around. Like this! [imgur id=BTSwMA8.jpg] So, I started walking around, and the first car I saw was this brand spanking new Porsche 911GT3!! What? It’s not a GT3? Sorry.. they all look the same to […]

Coffee & Chrome, Adelaide – June 2018

American Muscle Cruise
As the cruise participants milled around I wandered in and out taking pictures of their cars, starting with this VERY nice Dodge Challenger![imgur id=1FCGF4O.jpg] And here’s another shot of the Challenger – Too nice![imgur id=zT3sNhm.jpg] Next was another Dodge, a Charger.[imgur id=Yz3gyBw.jpg] And another shot. It looks just as good from this angle![imgur id=oqD8XGm.jpg] Nice […]

Early Model Holden Spotting!
There is also a very famous institution here in Adelaide called Vili’s Cafe de Wheels, where you can buy (and consume) really great meat pies and other food. This morning I went out for a coffee at Vili’s with my buddy Steve, and co-incidentally just after I arrived people started turning up in the very […]

My visit to the Geraldine Motor Museum in New Zealand
The Geraldine Motor Museum didn’t look like too much from the outside, but we had a couple of hours to spare, and the entry fee was very reasonable….so.. in we go! [imgur id=c1R3rG0.jpg] First impressions : The museum is crowded, and definitely built and run on a budget. But there are some nice old cars […]

List of The Best Car Museums
In my quest to visit and photograph every Car Museum IN THE WORLD I thought I’d better find out where they all are. In my over-achieving style I have starting building a database of museums, sorted by country/region. Early days yet, I’ve hardly touched the USA for instance, but you can find the list at […]

Lakeland Motor Museum
On a trip to the U.K. in 2017, I planned out a couple of Car Museums to visit along the way. As we were passing through the Lakes District, Lakeland’s was an obvious choice for a stop.

The Enzo Ferrari Engine Museum
This is a companion article to a previous one I wrote, where I visited the Ferrari Enzo Museum in Modena, Italy. In that article, I mentioned that I’d taken pictures in the Engine Hall. I kept them out of that piece because I figured most people wouldn’t be overly impressed by an engine sitting on […]

A Virtual Tour of the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy.
Above is the stunning entrance to the Enzo Museum. You park around the back of the building (lots of spaces!) and walk around the side to be greeted by this! I’ve never seen a museum that looked so interesting from the outside.
