Chipping Away

The first of June’s car show took me into another county of Norfolk to a little place I had never heard of before, Gissing. According to Google maps it would take me about forty five minutes to get there and thirty one miles away. The difference of miles and time tells me that this was going to be little village roads and not main roads. I packed my bag, double checking that I had my phone this…

A Trio Of AMT Dealership Models

At the beginning of May I was contacted by a guy who had just finished reading about my AMT dealership models which I had posted about with some history a while ago, link here. That guy’s name was Kevin who emailed me some photos of a model that he had found at an estate sale. I responded as soon as I could to say that I was very interested. A few emails were sent back and forth where we arranged…

Feltwell Anglo American Car Show 2025

This post is about an absolute first for me around the circumstances that this post came to be. The Feltwell Anglo-American Car Show last weekend was in Norfolk near many of the air bases, including Lakenheath where my car was imported into the UK from the USA. The weather was promising and I got up not feeling to great, but a car show is a car show and sacrifices have to be made. I packed my…

A Double Spring Break

Today was a promised to be a nice day according to my weather app. I was awoken by two little dogs whom decided they wanted to wander round the garden before the alarm went off. Fortunately it was only five minutes before I was due to get up anyway and saved me from the torturous alarm sound. I could of done without the furry foot on my face though. I packed the cool bag with plenty of drinks as…

Made It

Last Sunday was the second show I had booked up, but this was the first one where I made an appearance. I woke up to a glorious day and packed the factor fifty just in case or was that going to tempt fate and make it rain? I packed it anyway just in case. I backed out the garage with the SatNav already telling me to go take some back roads. On this occasion these particular roads aren’t to bad…

Almost Made It

Fill Her Up

Many classic cars of the bygone era of the ’60s & ’70s, not just Mustangs were fitted with a fuel filler pipe that was quite big diameter. The fuel back then was Leaded or Four Star fuels to be pumped through a larger nozzle which filled more of the filler pipe, which makes perfect sense. When pumping was complete, the pump would click off and it was job done. However, with the move to the…

Beaten To It

For quite a while I have been thinking to myself, wouldn’t it be good to have a nice reference guide for collectible Mustang memorabilia or for the rarer items from the past. I even thought to myself perhaps I should start looking into it and undertake the monumental task of trying to collate one. I perched myself in a comfy chair and started to look around the internet. Then up popped a book up…

Do You Believe In Hype?

It’s a known fact that these early 1964 – 1966 Ford Mustangs have a problem with rusting under fresh air grill or the upper cowl to give it the correct name. The upper and lower parts of the cowl are spot welded together, changing them out or repairing them is a proper mission with a lot of know how and jig should be used as the cowl is structurally critical to the car. The water runs in the air…

A Tradition Continues

After Christmas or a birthday I like to build something to keep me occupied which has become a bit of tradition. This year was no different, this time I was lucky enough to have an expensive engine model kit to play with. This ‘Techning V8 Engine Kit (DM118)’ kit was something I had been looking at for quite a while, but just couldn’t bring myself to pay the considerable amount of £500 for a…

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

As this year draws to a close I can look back on great year of car shows. Time has flown buy so it seems, or is it that I’m just getting old? In fact don’t answer that! I’m looking forward to more car shows next year where I can be out driving in my car and talking to some lovely people. I have to confess to that I’m suffering from PMS, ‘Parked Mustang Syndrome’. The car is in the warm climate…

Lost & Found

Over the course of the last few months at home we’ve had a project on the go to sort out the loft or attic and get it boarded out. Trying to get anything up or down was nightmare and consisted of random acts of skill balancing on rafters being mindful not to put a foot through the ceiling. While sorting through the boxes of stuff I found a little box which contained a few coins that I had found…

No Car, Car Show

It’s a rare occasion for me to attend a car show without my car, all be it an unintentional car show. I had arranged a little family day out at Lowestoft and was looking forward to the day. We arrived after a half an hours drive and managed to find somewhere to park near the sea front, the best part was that it was free to park. We got our stuff from the back of my daily driver and walked towards…

Professional video and photo shoot, Euston.

Every now and again I’m lucky enough to speak to professional photographers and videographers. Earlier in the year I was at a show where Matthew Filby (his contact details below) started talking to me about my car. It turns out that he is a professional photographer and was interested in doing a ‘Pro Shoot’ with my car at a nice location. Those type of offers don’t come along very often so I said…

Avoid Relocation Woes

Moving Your Prized Mustang: A Complete Guide to Auto Transport and Relocation Wanting to travel with your prized Mustang everywhere is natural. Once you’ve driven one, it’s hard to go back to any other vehicle. But what do you do in scenarios where you can’t take a week to travel across the USA and need your vehicle on the other coast? Or what if you’re going to move internationally? In…

Classics At Glemham 2024

As I write this post I didn’t realise that this going to be my last show of the year. There were a couple of others that I was scheduled to go to after this one, but the weather was predicted to be raining, as my car doesn’t get wet (if I can help it), I didn’t attend sadly. The weather app was correct and the rains did arrive on those days, shame as this year was a really good year for lots of…

Stonham Barns Classic Car Show (Part 2)

The second half of the show had a general mixture of the almost new cars, that cost a lot when new, but not worth so much now as they common in any car park. However, there was some amazing looking cars there and I will start with a couple of my favourites again, the Audi Coupes, why o why did I sell mine? The Morgan had a full on picnic setup going with a candelabra. There was a club of ‘Fast…
