Or if you really want to be a glutton for punishment Ed, a push bike 🙈🙈😂😂 It has to be one of the most scenic parts of Europe, without a doubt. You did it in style, the Z4 is a very nice bit of machinery to go touring in Ed.

I would love to drive some of those stunning Swiss roads, though it would likely be in something far humbler than a Singer 911 😂

I'd be getting that impression too Ed. I'm sure there's a lot of people who attend something like the Revival, and never even see a car on track. There's so much else going on... I just usually try and catch some of the highlights of anything from Goodwood on ITV, when it's on. Hopefully you...

I'd imagine if you can ever get to Goodwood Revival, you might be able to both see and more importantly, hear a 250 GTO Ed. Would be a hell of a race to experience I'd imagine 👌

Well that really brightened up my evening Ed, thanks for posting that :cool: Its great to see the owner/driver not being afraid to use and drive one of the most valuable cars currently around. What are they worth now $50/60 million or something crazy like that? Also great to see (and hear I'm...

Ok so you've done pretty well in life and you have been able to own a decent amount of McLaren F1's and you know one of the most well connected people that worked on the race cars in period, including running that legendary and infamous Ueno Clinic car, to win on its Le Mans debut in 1995...

I don't know if this is the correct thread or not, I have it in the back of my head that someone (@NickReilly063 maybe) already had a thread about these auctions etc... This original Williams recently sold at Iconic Auctions big Silverstone sale on over the weekend...

Cracking job there Ed. Always loved Mercedes' take on coupes Nick, they seem to always have properly nice designs for their pillar less coupes,going way back.

I'd call that the perfect combination. You dirty them, Nick makes them like new again. Everyone wins. And repeat....😉😂

It's a mark if how hard you were trying Ed. Now if you had managed to get it at last half way up the side, then you were peddling along nicely 😉😂😂

It's hard to justify the difference in prices sometimes Nick. I'm sure you've seen some proper puzzlers in your lifetime dealing in cars as well.

Thanks for those Nick. Bloody hell, I would have never guessed a R53 would go for that, low mileage accepted. For that money I'd be going GP1/GP2, you have a proper special feeling car and they should hold their money as well. Those Ferrari editions are properly cool little things, I knew they...

Definitely don't start into writing anything at this hour Ed, might hear about some of your Peugeot adventures at some other time. Love it @photo_ed , looks like you had a fun time exploring some of the local Boreens ;) 😂 You cant escape hitting the odd cattle crossing intersection, in these...

Your only adding to your back catalogue now Ed.... We have the Renault and Mini back catalogue, waiting to hear a bit more about the Peugeot years now ;) Especially when their equipped with an Ed special, bit of engine trickery :cool: That 1.6 205 sounds like it was a little cracker. Not a...

Great review there Mark. Though I think there was only ever going to be one outcome between those two. Although the Alpine is a decent first attempt at something like a hot hatch, obviously there is still a lot of fine detailing to go into a car like that, if its to approach the driving...

I think you would find it very hard to find a better example, outside of some museum at least Ed. Non sunroof cars seemingly are a lot harder to find as so many of the few that were actually made without a sunroof, were very sought after for Rallying. They wanted the solid roof as it likely...

Wow Nick, that is something else. A lot of time and definitely money, has gone into getting it into that sort of condition. Stunning car :cool:

Looking at those sort of prices, Marc will be joining the millionaire class pretty soon then 😂 Who needs stocks and shares, just buy old Renault parts and store them until they become NLA ;)

I would imagine late 1960's Italian aluminium wouldn't be able to stand up to much of an impact alright. Stunning car,great to see drivers of all ages properly enjoying themselves and not hikding back,no matter how valuable the cars are.

That was a truly epic bit of racing, unreal skills on show. And what a stunning car that little 206S is :cool:

Cracking snap there Ed, reminds me of that Fr. Ted episode, where Dougal gets a lesson in perspective, small/far away 😂

I can only imagine some of the motorsport inspired nooks and crannies on your GT4, wise decision using a blower there. You might be losing a few fingers otherwise ;) PPF would also give you that bit more peace of mind when it comes to your paintwork as well obviously. Nice collection of...

@NickReilly063 Loving that Mercedes, never seen that colour before, looks unreal. What's it called? I would quite happily bomb around in that car for a good while. Must be a pretty decent engine under the bonnet as well I'm guessing. To be fair, Mercedes have some properly nice colours to...

If the Ghostbusters started a sideline in litter/leaf clearing, they would be strapping one of those on. I've got to admit, reading this thread, its the first time I've ever seen someone using something like a leaf blower to dry a car, I've learned something new this evening ;) I thought I...

Top job Ed 👍 I can see you sitting in the garden on a warm sunny evening, cup of tea/cold beer/ice-cream in hand, pure contentment, looking at the perfect set of exhaust cans, glistening in the sunshine :cool: Job done.

Unreal how well that turned out Ed. Better than new 👍 I'd say your hands were feeling it after that bit of scrubbing!!

This might be what you were talking about Dave? The Vattenen Touch (1980) (Check out that oh so 1980's music) The Vattenen Touch II (1981-1991)

I very much look forward to the in car footage so ;) The straw will be flying then :cool:

Would be a good choice to have, great to see such. wide variety of makes/models. They nearly could have had a mini time trial with the rally cars, driving around the straw bales in the field next door, Gymkhana style 😉

What an evening that was. If Carlsberg did perfect car gatherings. And just to casually see two absolute legends from the world of rallying just casually drop in, in their helicopter.... Wow!!! And that R5 Turbo, just perfect :cool:
