When my brother Kev passed last year, I “inherited” a pair of sunglasses that he had in his car. Kev had planned on going to the UK this year to visit with his mates at beloved West Ham FC, but sadly that never eventuated. We had also spoken of visiting all our relatives in the […]

I bought a new plant for Jeff’s house the other day.. It’s an Haworthia (I think).. Whatever.. Jeff LOVES it.. sits in it for hours and hours 😉 And has a bit of a nibble on it too! The Red tint is from his heatlamp, btw…

Dani mentioned in passing one day that she had been into a Garden Centre/Pet store (Olivers) and they had a very friendly and cool Bearded Dragon sitting on the counter. I happened to be driving past Olivers a couple of days later, and thought I’d pop in for a looksee, as I’ve always had a […]

The day was a bit dismal, but the Hot Rods were Brilliant, as usual! I was testing a new 35mm lens, I think the pictures came out OK!

I’m sure that anyone who has followed Motor Racing for a while has heard of the Legendary Brooklands, the world’s first purpose-built ‘banked’ motor racing circuit, and also one of Britain’s first airfields. Brooklands has an amazing history, housing Britain’s largest aircraft manufacturers in the early 1900’s, providing invaluable support through the second World War, […]

It’s been AGES since I posted anything here – life has been a bit hectic! Since my last post I’ve acquired a 3D Printer, and thought I’d share with you my first customised project. I’ve had a CCTV Board sitting on a cardboard eggbox for a couple years nows, as I wasn’t able to source […]

I had to pop up to the National Motor Museum to do a little maintenance on a vehicle there, so of course I took my camera and had a look around to see what was new! Pictures are HERE

This road trip that I’m going to share with you came about as a result of an accidental internet find. I was looking through some websites of Australian Car Museums and noticed that one I particularly wanted to visit (sometime) was going to close down in a few months! Lost in the 50’s would be […]

Before you enter the sheds that house the museum, there are some very pretty gardens, and bits and pieces strewn around. Like this! [imgur id=BTSwMA8.jpg] So, I started walking around, and the first car I saw was this brand spanking new Porsche 911GT3!! What? It’s not a GT3? Sorry.. they all look the same to […]

In my quest to visit and photograph every Car Museum IN THE WORLD I thought I’d better find out where they all are. In my over-achieving style I have starting building a database of museums, sorted by country/region. Early days yet, I’ve hardly touched the USA for instance, but you can find the list at […]

On a trip to the U.K. in 2017, I planned out a couple of Car Museums to visit along the way. As we were passing through the Lakes District, Lakeland’s was an obvious choice for a stop.

This is a companion article to a previous one I wrote, where I visited the Ferrari Enzo Museum in Modena, Italy. In that article, I mentioned that I’d taken pictures in the Engine Hall. I kept them out of that piece because I figured most people wouldn’t be overly impressed by an engine sitting on […]

Above is the stunning entrance to the Enzo Museum. You park around the back of the building (lots of spaces!) and walk around the side to be greeted by this! I’ve never seen a museum that looked so interesting from the outside.
