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

And the book is on its way!

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.
Thanks

A response to my timeline being full of motoring creators advertising finance commission reclaim companies.

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

What's the Ferris Bueller quote about life moving fast?! 🤯

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.

When your @morganmotorcompany.bsky.social factory tour coincides with an owners' club visit 🙌

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.

Good morning, from a perfect summer day in Malvern, where the faithful are gathering at @morganmotorcompany.bsky.social

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.

My Fiat for the week 😎

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" 😄

"I don't know... but it's very well done." 😬

Done... err... didn't hate it. More to follow.
Maybe this de Angelis biopic will be better.

Right then...

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.

The secret of his success? 🤔

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.
It's very hard to justify after recent price increases, and not much value if you are outside of England.
