Autodromo Moment of Zen

Hurtling through the French countryside in a Lotus 11, with a Vallelunga Chronograph on your wrist. What could be better?

Video of the Week: Jackie Stewart Tests and Evaluates the Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler

Here we see Jackie Stewart, only recently retired, coming back to the cockpit to test the wild-looking Tyrrell 6 wheeler F1 car.

The onboard footage is really remarkable. Some killer camera angles and great sound too!

Niki Lauda and Junior Z

After the Run out East, I was lucky enough to find these two Alfas together at sunset by the harbor in Montauk. Both cars belong to members of the NY Alfa Owners Club. The Spider is a Niki Lauda edition, and the Junior Z is freshly restored in a lovely Le Mans Blue! Click HERE for the full gallery!

Montauk Motoring

We attended the "Run out East" this weekend, which is a small, but growing Italian car show held in Montauk.  Here is my GTV6 visiting the famous montauk Lighthouse, which stands at the very Eastern tip of Long Island. More photos to follow.

Dino on my mind

I've been a little obsessed with the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 the past few days. They're especially lovely in non-red.  I cannot understand why these gorgeous cars aren't more sought after.  It's the only production Ferrari designed by Bertone (Marcello Gandini to be exact), and the first production V8 in a long line of V8s. Putting aside the tiresome snobbery surrounding the whole Dino badge, these are objectively very special little cars, and possibly some of the greatest 2+2 GT cars of the 1970s.
