My Links

This is where the various vehicles and stuff in the garage lives. Also, some vehicles I owned in the past, including some I’d rather forget about...

I have always wanted to own one of these rare and exclusive cars, hand built by Jensen for, let us say, “Gentlemen of Quality” in the 50’s and 60’s. With a 6.2 litre Mopar V8, all round discs, a limited slip differential and 330 BHP, quite a machine. Only about 200 Mk III’s were ever built, so when one came up, I had to buy it, even though it’s a wreck.

My most dangerous transport. The X-11 is a little-known bike but it’s a beast, believe me. Even now, 7 years on, it is almost the fastest standard naked bike. It has almost 140 hp and “more grunt than a herd of hawgs”!

Update: Nowadays, the X-11 is in Dubai, and I bet it’s the only one :)

Not mine, but I have had the privilege of working on it quite often. It’s actually an “Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante OI”, the OI meaning Oscar India. The lights and the numberplate position are all totally standard. The link takes you to it’s ongoing maintenance etc.

This is one of our ex-endurance racers, just as it finished it’s last season, except for a chainguard, number plate (yes, it’s road-registered) and slightly different front lights. It has many changes from standard, the link takes you to the details.

The GTE is currently “resting” in the UK... Bought from a farmers field as a wreck, it took about 5 years to get to this state. The picture link takes you to it’s restoration history and ongoing maintenance.

This is not my C-V8 but it is one in the original Oyster Grey colour, which has a hint of pink, accentuated in this evening shot.My Scimitar GTE on the day that the last bits were bolted on (in about May, 2000)People often call these bikes "naked blackbirds" but they aren't...Notice the "T" sticker on the side, still there from it's last practise...Not the best picture of this stunning machine, it does not do it justice!

Some of my older cars and bikes...
One of favorite ex-motorbikes! (Ducati 750 Sport)

2000 Pontiac Firebird Transam

My “daily driver” in Dubai, and a bit of a beast, as it’s significantly modified, and one of the rarer 6-speed manuals. I hope to bring it back to the UK one day, assuming it’s not been banned in the UK for being too much fun by then. I intend to improve it whilst in Dubai as well...
