    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.

    In the Alfa Romeo category...

    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!

    A local dealer got in a special order Golf R for inventory!
    My buddy who works there sent me this....

    [​IMG]

    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.

    I wish I had the funds and the room to keep this one...:rolleyes:

    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.

    Underrated 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.
