Slowly but surely we are losing our soul one pub or one old building at a time, one day we will wake up and say what the hell happened for some that may have already come to pass. I could go on a rant here but I know I am preaching to the choir. We will never have pubs like the Eagle again...

The film centers on the battle between Ford and Ferrarri ?. Let me give another point of view, Ferrari is and has been the most successful race car team in history, the only reason for road cars was to finance the race cars. Ford went knocking on Ferrari's door because Fords line up of cars was...

I can assure all anyone who is a student of motor racing Ken Miles has not been forgotten, the sad truth is Ken Left too soon before he won more races. He was a man of honor he towed the company line and it cost him first place at Le Man's He slowed down so all three cars could get photographed...

Don't shoot the messenger here, I am going back 45 years well before the PC police. I worked with a guy nicknamed wobbly gob or marble mouth because no one could understand him and as he became excited it only got worse. His family's history was French but he grew up in Brum

Second attempt to post my wife in the Ferrari 340 Mexico spyder on Rodeo Drive

That's great I often wonder what happened to some of the guys I knew. I meet Tiny back in the early 70's he would ride his motorbike to the Man on the Moon pub most nights and have several pints. I always thought it odd a man who tasted beer for a job working for Ansells would come out at night...
