Most popular car





What is it?


Do you know? answer below



The most popular car is the ..................., just like the car we see here. This car combines VIP and Euro tuning styles, and does it well.


Let's hope to see some really nicely built VIP cars in Europe, but I think it will take some years before we will see those...


Is this your choice? of do you have another, it certainly looks classy and stylish, and I suspect it is not cheap, I think Mother would like this one, apart from the Rolls of course, and I'm sure Mary would have her eyes on it given half a chance.


but let's see if you got it right.


Yep, it seems you did, it's a Mercedes, of course! A popular choice favourite.

cars vintage collectors








A fully restored Delahaye 135 MS, worth an estimated 400,000 euros, which was a powerful race car and among the fastest in the world in 1938






Well you know my interest in starting a collection of vintage cars, well it seems I am not doing so well with my duties as the local Squire, so all I can do at present is to look and learn.



However, I have received a certain amount of acceptance from Mother for the idea and a very large slab is being laid at present to provide the necessary garaging, but may I suggest it will be quite some time before we get this project up and running.



I have been rushed off my feet due to mother's fatal decision to have my learn the staff rostering system, which I proudly put up on my computer, much to the distaste of the staff, I might add.

Well, after a week of starting the day with dinner, have cake and tea for lunch, sweets only for tea and the pantry supplies swelling daily due to misuse as I had all the wrong staff coming in at the wrong hours and when we received just a boiled egg for tea one night instead af the usual large three course meal, Mother exploded at my imcompetence and told me in no uncertain terms what a fool I was.


Well, I'm one up on her, I already know that, so she allowed the staff to go back to doing things their way until I've got my outside act together.

She threatens dire consequences if I should fail to deliver the goods given some more time and sent me back outside again, to attend to the usual farm duties at which I'm becoming quite good, not good enough for Mother, of course, but certainly good enough for me.


Did I tell you we have some horses in on agistment and that's the closest I've come to being able to have our own stables, but Mother, being the competent horsewoman she is, is favourably disposed to the plan which needs to be along term one she tells me giving her most disdainful look. How she can put a man down, I think I can understand why my dad ran away, whoever he was, obviously someone who charmed Mother into bed illicitly, but Mother does always call herself Mrs. Fobbs, which is ridiculous, but who would dare argue with Mother.

No one around this neck of the woods I can tell you.


So this is just one other vintage car, which doesn't really appeal to me a great deal, but what do you think of it?


Sorry, I have to rush outside but them's the rules round this place.

high price ferrari sports




Vintage Ferrari auctions for $11 M - most expensive




once owned by U.S. actor James Coburn. Yes, a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder that fetched $11 million at an auction in the luxury sports carmaker’s hometown of Maranello. And the proud owner is a radio DJ, presenter by profession and a British national celebrity Chris Evans.

Eyes opened wide by observers, I guess mine would be too. How sweet it is.

This atypical black translatable was one of 33 cars and scores of Ferrari memorabilia sold at the auction.



Just to get you all going for the weekend

I go for the wealth look, myself, lovely to have a visit from a little lady, my style had become quite cramped now that I'm a respectable married man, due to be a father before long.

I do miss the old days, what a charmer you are, my dear!

Great stuff Mau and I guess with no other contenders you will have to be pronounced the winner, you sure did a good job.

as for your last, totally inappropriate comment, I'm about to become a DAD and no-one has ever laid that on me before.

I guess you're just not used to the British Aristocracy and the way we express ourselves but I can't say I find that in any way female, unless you're a girl, of course.

Enough said, call me a Pommi Bastard if you must, ant that's true, but forget the rest of your offensive remarks.

You certainly do know your audis and I suspect that the self credited great debators around here just don't know their cars.

Enough said, why would a girl run a car blog, call me sexest, I like it that way.

Mau, that's a fantastic comment and with a picture, WOW, you're a great dude and keep your eyes pinned on this one, what sort of a debator are you?

Me. I'm just a low brow with a high brow taste in cars

SL I'll drink to that, Lester is doing a fine job here, the pernicious rot seems to be coming deeper and deeper entrenched. Satan has some assinine assistants in many of the so called liberated politicians who do not seem to be satisfied until we are buried 10 feet under.

Meanwhile, society goes down the drain.

It's good to see you here Lester, we've waited patiently for you.

good to see you pal, glad you're impressed

Hi Punk, good of you to be so conveniently close.

Cool waters, great spot, great photos, I guess you've had to change jobs, mate.
