2019 Donington Historic Festival

September 10, 2019

If you’re a regular reader here, you’ll already appreciate the haphazard nature of my posting. Not everything is necessarily in date order and this is one of those events. Right back in May, I spent a day at Donington for the Historic Festival. My main focus was again on my good friends Steve Wright and […]

Dragstalgia 2019

August 22, 2019

With given access to a time machine the choice of destination is a fairly difficult one. First you’ve got the time period, then the location. A quick search on youtube for ‘drag racing 1960s’ confirms this to be one of my top choices of period. As for location pretty much any Drag Strip in the […]

Suffolk Snow 2018

July 1, 2019

I finally upgraded my computer so I can edit video work properly again without spending hours waiting for things to render and refresh. My old now retired machine hadn’t done bad though. Its a 2009 Mac Pro tower, so a good 10 years of service. A stalwart workhorse that has done me proud through good times […]

Chopper and Hot Rod Night!

Drive Classics Club

May 21, 2019

If you’re a regular visitor here you would have no doubt seen my previous post about the Drive Classics meet last year held at the glorious St Michaels Manor Hotel. Well Sunday was the second event and it just gets better. Despite having a quick visit planned we stayed for a couple of hours and […]

The Great Global Greyhound Walk

May 10, 2019

On Sunday Morning we went to a Greyhound Walk at one of our local parks. I didn’t realise till we got there that it’s a completely international event raising awareness around the world of what wonderful dogs they are. We took Sally our thirteen and eleven twelfesies (she’s 14 next month!) greyhound along. The actual […]

Chopping Body & Paint

May 2, 2019

Dogs, well that how it started. You see my other half loves dogs (mainly scruffy dogs) and I by default now love them too. Her social media is full of dogs, dog artwork, dog rescue, dog treats. She started following a local artist doing some beautiful wildlife (and dog) illustrations who happened to also be […]

Mr Torquer

May 1, 2019

Here’s one to look out for, hopefully hitting the strip at Dragstalgia later this year. Mr Torquer. A piece of UK drag racing history, revived and improved by current custodian Paul Dawson. We first saw it in primer ready to be painted by Steve of Chopping Body and Paint and couldn’t believe the interior detail […]

25 Years…

April 29, 2019

That’s how long Type 2 Detectives have been trading. Restoring and selling vintage Volkswagens and everything that goes with them. Styles have been, gone and come back again in some cases. As the purchase prices of the vehicles have risen in line with their rarity, the quality of work and parts available has risen too. […]
