It was realise a dream day yesterday as Tammy presented me with an all time bucket list high of flying a Spitfire. Despite days of teeming rain we had blue skies and fluffy white clouds with hardly any wind. Absolutely perfect. As chief photographer, Tammy’s ride was a Harvard T6 of similar...

Lured by thoughts of “Goodwood on a sunny day” and the fact that obviously it would be a lovely day for the coronation….. we entered the BHMC sprint - to be met with lashing rain all day! I actually like driving in the wet, but this was something else. The line was dictated by driving around...

Someone obviously forgot to tell the weather Gods that it was Easter bank Holiday here as it was a lovely day with the sun shining and not a cloud or cold wind in sight. Consequently a fabulous time was had at Goodwood for their own Spring Sprint. A full (very eclectic) entry, and everybody kept...

Torrential rain made for a very interesting Sprint at Goodwood at the weekend. Not the best combination of slippery track, gobs of power and foot wide tyres, but the good ol' Southern GT took it all in it's stride and looked after us both! 'Fraud' Cortina is powered by a supercharged Chevy lump...

We started on the Saturday with the Goodwood's own GRRC Sprint. This is usually our first competition of the year as it is usually held on Easter Monday. This year it was still our first event despite being at the end of August! Still, it was good to be out there doing it again, and we had THE...

Used alloy 115 lpm water pump with new fitting kit. £90 plus courier

Back out on the fabulous Goodwood circuit at last. It seems like forever since I've had fun here! And what a glorious day too, over 30 degrees heat meant the grip was incredible but far too hot to be wearing a race suit and helmet in a GT40 oven!

Front and Rear SouthernGT ARBs and mounts. Horsham, West Sussex. £230

What better way to kick off the season than Goodwood on a beautiful sunny day? This wonderful track just seems to be made for GT40's, (mine certainly loves it here) and it simply oozes history. We were there for Goodwood's own GRRC Sprint and what a fabulous day it was. A really diverse and...

We had a fantastic time last weekend at the Silverstone Classic. We were invited to compete in the Celebrity Charity Challenge. This was another two race event, sharing the car with a Celebrity who raced on the Saturday, whilst the owners raced on the Sunday, with all the proceeds going to...

A friend of mine saw this at an auction and very kindly thought of me. I think it gives a remarkable insight into the lengths that JWE went to to prepare to win. I thought you chaps might like to see them too.

Dusted off my Southern GT and headed down to Goodwoods own GRRC Easter Sprint on Easter Monday for some hydrocarbon fun. Amazingly for a Spring bank holiday the rain held off and we had quite a pleasant day. In contrast to the same event last year which was cancelled due to planes being upside...

Does anyone know what the crank angle at BDC on the intake stroke is on a Ford 302? It is 540 degrees for a SB Chevy (sorry about the language!) and it would be easy to assume that it is the same, but we all know what assuming does! Thanks guys

Finally ticked my top bucket list box and got to drive at the Revival! It was all I'd imagined it to be, what an experience! I was invited to compete in the St. Mary's Trophy (a two part race) so I was paired with Rob Huff who raced on the Saturday and I did my bit on the Sunday. What a lovely...

We had a great day at the B&HMC eagle Sprint in the ’40 at Goodwood recently. Always a fun event, this one was memorable as Tammy, my far better half, won the fastest Lady of the day award! She hasn’t stopped grinning yet! I’m really chuffed for her and a bit worried too – I’ll have to up my...

I'm surprised that the anniversary of this illustrious date has nearly slipped by without our very own Colonel demanding that we all stand to attention and salute - as indeed we should, quite rightly. It may have been 'the nearest run thing' but it was a bloody well done thing! Three cheers for...
