Driving Donington Park in a Porsche 911 GT3

In the video below are some of my laps driving a friend's Porsche 911 (991) GT3 on Donington Park's full GP circuit on 24th August 2021. Even ignoring the pressure of not smashing up your friend's car, do you know what the track insurance excess on something like this is?! If I said it was 'eye watering' that would be an understatement... 

That said, there were some very nice, expensive, cars out on track which is great to see!

Caffeine & Machine Porsche Meet - 10th August 2021

An evening visit to Caffeine & Machine with my Porsche-driving friend for a local club meeting. The weather was good (although, it was well past 6pm when we arrived so light was beginning to fail), and there was a fine selection of German sportscars in attendance. 

No video this time, but there's a gallery of Porsches below, followed by a selection of the other vehicles there. As always, Caffeine & Machine didn't disappoint with an eclectic mix on site.

The Tank Museum, Bovington

On something of a whim, while spending a few days away with my family, we went to the Tank Museum in Dorset, England. It houses almost 300 vehicles, from the earliest days of armoured vehicles right up to the present day, and is the largest collection of tanks in the world. It was a visit well worth making! We spent almost four hours wandering around and even my 5-year old son and 11-year old daughter were kept entertained - not once complaining about being bored (which is a first!). 

I had no plans on taking pictures or making a gallery but I knew I had too once I saw the breadth and quality of what's available (so you'll have to excuse my phone-quality pictures!). I collected info on each tank and have written a brief summary with each picture below.

Witney Motor Show 2021

Witney Motor Show is an small event, local to where I live, which has run annually every year since 1966 (with the exception of 2020). As you'll see in the gallery below there was a good selection of vehicles in attendance this year  (with a particularly fine collection of classic Ford Escorts on display - which will always go down well with me!).

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S: Owner's Review

I've owned this 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S for nearly three years and I thought it well overdue that I share my thoughts about it here. In this video I talk through its specification, its many 'pros' and a few 'cons'. 

I also reference riding from England to Norway (and back) in the video: 2020 miles in 8 days. If you're interested in seeing more of that, including route maps and a gallery, click here.

Pre ’50 American Auto Club 'Rally of the Giants' 2021

Below is my highlights video and gallery from the annual Pre ’50 American Auto Club Rally of the Giants, held at Blenheim Palace. 

It always seems to throw up an interesting mix of unusual vehicles and I adore the sound of a burbling V8. With that in mind, I've tried to set the audio level so that your speakers don't explode but you can let me know how successful I've been...

Wales Road Trip in a Porsche 911 GT3

Below is a brief highlights video and gallery from a recent road trip I embarked on through Wales, covering more than 600 miles in (what turned out to be) the exceptional Porsche 911 GT3. We took five days, driving through some great roads in (mostly) good weather and it's certainly whet my appetite to repeat the experience in future with my new found knowledge of what worked and what didn't.

A review on the GT3 itself will be along in due course!
