I have created this newsletter as a hub for everything motor-related: from captivating pictures and the latest news to intriguing products and accessories that catch my eye.
Rather than a narrow focus on a particular automotive niche, this newsletter takes a broad view of what's out there - things that are interesting, cool, and informative. My tastes range from classic cars and hotrods to mopeds and vans, and I often delve into the artistic and fashion aspects associated with these realms.
If you're ready for an eclectic journey through my automotive passions, I invite you to sign up and let's embark on this adventure together.

All is not well at supercar maker McLaren as the Bahraini owners look to sell off their stake.
Losses at Mclaren have risen to £349m in 2022, compared to £135m in 2021.
That equates to a deficit of almost £140,000 per car produced as costs have increased and deliveries stalled.
