Not sure which of you guys subscribe to or buy Octane but this month is a cracker with Harry taking his 1969 £4k eBay Rolls Silver Shadow to the Arctic Circle.
I thought the Testarossa to the Sahara was mad but this is nuts! A great read and stunning photography. A proper adventure story.
End of the article notes a vid will be going up on Harry’s garage but no sign of it yet. The mag is worth picking up in the meantime.

Excellent thanks, the Testarossa thing was brilliant I'll have to pick up the mag.

I really hope he decided to do it because he liked the pun

He's clearly not averse to that line of humour. There's another incident of something similar in the write up but I won't spoil it for people.
Not sure I would've had the balls to take a 50 year old car on that trip, in February, with temperatures getting down to -18

Have to find a shop that sells Octane.
Re: Harry M’s Arctic Roll[s]
Really looking forward to watching the video

Harry obviously misses writing; he did an interesting article for Motorboat and Yachting a couple of months ago.
Cheers,

Re: Harry M’s Arctic Roll[s]
If you find a garage that sells it on a top shelf, what is it then?
Sorry.
Re: Harry M’s Arctic Roll[s]
Vid looks like it has just gone up. Looking forward to watching that later.
Wonder if mrs M knows about the motor boating

I think SD is the one who's had the lunchtime beverages.
Re: Harry M’s Arctic Roll[s]
Lost on me as well.
Re: Harry M’s Arctic Roll[s]
It's quite a riddle, I wonder what the reward for solving it is.

Re: Harry M’s Arctic Roll[s]
Almost certainly of lower value than the time expended in working it out.

Re: Harry M’s Arctic Roll[s]
I presume he means it would be “high octane”, but the top shelf in magazine sections is famously porn mags, so that doesn’t work. So is there some other joke that we’re missing?
I suspect not.

Oh I see. Porn-Octane, got you.
