Raceview Mill in Broughshane played the stunning backdrop to the new car show, Cars at the Mill last weekend. In planning for better part of a year, show organisers and RMS members Jayme Hill and Colin Burnside put together this brand new event in aid of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. The result of their efforts was an amazing variety of cars on show for all tastes from supercars to rally classics, campers to pickups. The Cars at the Mill show was spread across several spaces around the over 200 year old mill site, with each area a seperate genre…
87 Years after it opened its doors to the public, the International Geneva Motor Show is still a must attend event for any avid Petrolhead. Running across 10 days in Geneva’s Palexpo the International Motor Show plays host to over 250 exhibitors and around 680,000 visitors each year. With pretty much every manufacturer I knew of (and just as many I didn’t know existed) putting on a display I couldn’t wait to make the trip for the first time. Celebrating 70 years of production Ferrari put on quite a display including the launch of the new 812 Superfast, the most…
Situated in South East London, on the banks of the Thames Greenwich is an area steeped in history, what better location for gathering of classic vehicles? Meeting on the last Thursday of every month the Greenwich Mean Old Timers hold their ‘Park it in the Market’ event, the meet consists of any vehicle manufactured before 1990. I was treated to a fantastic array of both cars and bikes, many of which I had never come across before, such as this immaculate 1935 Aston Martin tourer. There was also some pretty impressive bikes on show, including this pretty mental looking…
With the annual Easter Sunday cruise in Portrush causing all sorts of commotion on social media the guys at Renaultsport Owners club decided to arrange their meet elsewhere, in Lurgan this time. Renaultsport owners meets offer owners the chance to meet like minded Renault owners and of course to engage in some spirited driving through the twisties, where the Renaultsport range was born to excel! Racing Blue was definitely the colour of the day being represented by my own 182, Chris McMahon’s 197 and Harry Walsh’s 182. The easter run was also a change for Eddie to get a good…
The London Classic Car Show is as a must attend for any discerning classic car owner, collector, expert or enthusiast. This incredible gathering of vehicles from all corners of motoring lived up to its pre-event billing. Supercars, race cars, vintage cars and modern classics crammed the massive ExCel centre in the heart of London’s docklands. The scale of the ExCel centre – some 480,ooo square feet of space means that this show has a unique trick up its sleeve. Cars are not just restricted to being stationary throughout the show. “Grand Avenue” is a highway splitting the main exhibition hall…
Retrospective reviews are normally the preserve of cult cars or automotive legends, so you’re probably wondering what makes this French shopping cart worthy of such a feature. Well, it’s because this pugnacious little beast is probably one of the most entertaining hatches that you’ve never heard of. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010 the Citroen DS3 Racing was the first road car to be developed by Citroen Racing. Yes, the brains that produced the extremely successful DS3 World Rally Car for multiple champion Sebastien Loeb. There’s no mistaking a DS3 Racing for another model, despite the fact that only 200…
