I just put together a short list of less than serious awards for the Auto world in 2020:

Comments? Who did I miss?

Sharing info that is likely to be of interest only to @SSO - who may be one of the recipients for all I know :?: 25-piece limited edition commission based on the (already limited to 150 pieces) Christopher Ward C7 Hornet. The Hornet was part of the C7 Rapide collection - @John on here owns one of t...

Very good article as always SSO... Quick question - and sorry if I missed an update, but do you still have a deposit down on a SSC Glickenhaus and if so, what’s its use and what will go to make room?? I do have a deposit down on a SCG004S, it should arrive next spring. It's an addition so no plans ...

Agree, it is no where near that bad.

Just posted a new blog on the Use Case Rule of Supercar Collecting:

I must admit, its not one that I have always followed.

Thoughts on the philosophy?

Another interesting article. What are your thoughs on the reasons behind the slow sales of the DBX? Do you think it's likely to be because they're slow to ramp up the manufacturing / distribution or because of low demand? To me it seems the most appealing car in its sector, but I'm not in the marke...

Good read as always. When did f40 prices got through the roof? http://joemacari.com/All-Cars-for-Sale/_prod_Ferrari-F40_4708.htm They’ve had a crazy rise. When I stopped selling specialist cars as my main job in mid 2012, any F40 above £300k would hang around the showroom for ages, unless it was a ...

Isn’t McLaren still a bit fragile for extensive track use?

Don't let @SSO hear you say that...

Hmmmm

Coming on to the pit straight at Donington in a 200SX, wheels weren't straight before the turbo came on strong. Resulted in a 720 spin and coming to rest about 6 inches away from a concrete wall. Rule #1 of driving the F40 is to always make sure the wheels are pointed straight ahead before allowing...

Nothing quite like the sound of gravel bouncing off the floor pan.

What do you believe will actually happen?

A very neat and very unintentional 180 in a Z06 on Park Lane: It had just come back from a car show, I backed it off the trailer, put some lock on to go over three lanes and promptly ended up facing the wrong way - I hadn't taken account of a week's worth of tyre shine all over the treads. Test dri...

Not had any scary moments in the Puma, or in the BMW so far, despite their reputations in some parts for lairiness, and the BMW being dangerous rear wheel drive (TM). I'm sure the BMW will bite me some day when I'm feeling cleverer than I really should ;) I do remember being just a bit sideways in ...

I just posted up a new blog chronicling the hairiest moments I've had in a range of supercars over the years including the Ferrari F40, McLaren 675LT Spider, Ferrari 365BB & 512BB, Mosler MT900S, and Porsche 911 (993) Turbo: https://karenable.com/my-hairiest-supercar-moments/ Comments?

Just posted a new blog on our 1st road trip in the McLaren 720S Spider. https://karenable.com/our-1st-mclaren-720s-spider-road-trip/ Comments? I like the "Bio fuel stop" phrase. 8-) I love that last picture. The swoops over the rear look great in that blue. It's nice to know that the car ...
