    Ford Le Mans 2025 - Hospitality Package

    Sixth time to Le Man's, always used a phone for navigation, never a problem (except in 2016 when Brian's phone took us to Lake Como Dry Cleaners instead of Lake Como!)

    What to look for on 05-06 GT.....WTB

    Pretty amazing that a car almost 20 years old has such a piffling list of issues to look out for, think if it was a McLaren or Ferrari etc. I heard that the GT is the only supercar designed and built to meet full SAE compliance and that's why it's basically bulletproof. 52k plus on mine with...

    Screen and PPF reminder….

    I used screens on mine for a couple of weeks but got tired of constant,y having to clean junk out and listening to a load of gravel rattling around. Triple ppf'd the lower sides instead.

    Ford GT Rally XIV - Who's in?

    Mr and Mrs Mongrel are registered and hotel is booked. We'll be staying some extra days (check in 28th, check out 3rd) because, coincidentally, the company that runs our foundation is based in Scottsdale, so we'll go meet them after the rally. Won't be in the ole' GT as it can't fit Roz's...

    2024 LE MANS IN THE BAG

    Great seeing old and new friends last week at the Ford Performance hospitality suite. For us it was a last-minute decision to attend due to Roz's health, but we had a wonderful time, our fifth visit to Le Mans with Ford. Special thanks to all those of you who were patient enough to sit and talk...

    Good article from Leno

    On my fourth battery, and never a problem (except when I drop the stupid bolt down into the undertray!)

    Rosemary Smith 1937-2023

    So the blue car behind her on the right is a Sunbeam Rapier, and was my first car. I drove it til it literally rusted to pieces (which happened very quickly!)

    2024 - Ford 24 Hours of Le Mans Hospitality

    Following the Pfizer covid shots, Roz spent a year in and out of hospital (11 times!) culminating in a massive stroke a year ago. Recovery has been glacially slow, but she is improving

    1966 Mark 1 at Kissimmee.

    2019 Keels and Wheels, think it was it’s first show after a Texas restoration shop near Austin finished it. It won its class. The owner said they found a little area of original paint and spent ages trying to match it, ending up with that cool turqoise/blue. My car behind it, hot from the Big...

    2024 - Ford 24 Hours of Le Mans Hospitality

    We went all four years of the GT program and, like many others, I swore that I’d never go back after the progressively political environment that culminated in the bogus 2019 DQs. Would love to go watch the Mustangs, however! My problem would be how to manage Le Mans with Roz now confined to a...

    Goodwood Revival or Festival of Speed?

    Revival is on my list but I’ve done FOS 5-6 times and it’s magnificent. However, you must do it via a big exhibitor in order to get the VIP treatment and access to special places. I always went with McLaren and they fly you in and out via helicopter to avoid traffic, get you seats at the Ball...
