·Chasing and passing my son in a Formula Ford (two years ago). First time ever on this particular course.
1st gear is so tall that it's quite easy to stall from a standstill, so they push you to start, but I had to stop for traffic and then stalled it. I managed to get started without frying the clutch.

·I had many 75s when I worked for Alfa Romeo, but never one like this, as seen at Hever Castle this week. The owner has spent a lot of time and £££s on supercharging it. BHP is apparently not hugely boosted, but there is lots more torque.

As true petrol heads, my father and I spend a week touring on Sicily (Italy) in this little macchina.
And managed to make it appear brand new.
A friend of mine runs a couple of these as a tour business; https://www.hiddensicily.co.uk.
I realize it’s not nearly as exclusive as some other beauties in this thread, but I do feel it fits into the Friday Petrol Head topic quite well. Hope you like it!

My 1986 Mercedes 300e. Just cleaned off all of the spring pollen, just for it to rain the same evening.

·A local dealer got in a special order Golf R for inventory!
My buddy who works there sent me this....
It is taking me everything I have to not drive there right now and go get it!!!!!
For those who don't know, VW USA allowed dealers/customers choose from 30 or so different "Spektrum" colors for an extra $2500 for the Golf R only.

·Sounds like a perfect opportunity to buy a DS to me
I wish I had the funds and the room to keep this one...🙄
I remember driving it in the South of France a while ago and I was amazed by the overall comfort and the smoothness of the car.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoUnderrated for so many years, I think the 914 is finally getting some due respect.
I remember looking at a couple 914/6s with my older brother many, many years ago, neat cars, he ended up with a 2002tii, a great car of a different character.
