New Book From Veloce

Yes, I know it’s sick but I love books like this. New from Veloce, a book entitled ‘Brittans Toy Models Catalogues 1970 -1979′. It’s like reliving your childhood – seeing all the ones you had and all the ones you wished you had had. Got to get this one in for a full review.

The Great & The Good - Classic Motor Show 2009

If you’ve been impressed by the Classic Motor Show before, well, the 2009 NEC show was bigger and better than ever before. PR-fuelled marketing hype…? Nope, it even surprised and stunned Dep-O’s two old car lags into declaring it one of the best British car shows of the last 10 years.
