I might've found my next job. As a middle-aged motorsport fan, I'm a qualified gatekeeper... I've been told! 😄

I was fortunate today to pick up a second copy of Richard Williams' fantastic Richard Seaman bio.
I recommend that you read anything & everything by Richard, and this is a fine place to start. So, if you'd like this book, just comment, and I'll draw a name and send it on.

Just grabbed a magazine from a file to check something. This advert took me back to @shelsleywalsh.bsky.social Classic Nostalgia.

A super, busy day at @shelsleywalsh.bsky.social – what a beautiful place to go motor racing!
Thanks to all who stopped for a chat today, and those I missed, I'll catch you tomorrow morning.

From the sublime to the divine. A dash across to Prescott and to The Bugatti Trust – to wonder at the works of Carlo, Ettore and Rembrant.
Much more to come about this Big Day.

It was super to visit Sebring Works this morning, to hear the how & why of their bespoke electric sportscars. More to follow, but suffice to say, what they've achieved – and what they've planned – is fantastic.

Hello, from a very messy office – where I'm moving along a couple of projects before I head to England next week. For company, I've just hit play on "Mille Miglia: The Movie" 😄

Maybe I'm just having a grumpy Monday, but this ostensibly good thing hacked me off.
An unflagged drop of tickets 3 weeks before the event is no use to anyone who has to arrange flights & accommodation*. So this fellowship perk just pissed me off.
(* and has made alternate plans)

On a wave of goodwill from the amazing time I had at Members' Meeting, I authorised my The @goodwoodrrc.bsky.social Fellowship renewal – but probably for the last time.
