Rare Rides: It’s a 1977 Reliant Scimitar GTE, You KnowJanuary 14, 2021 at 12:00 PM Today’s Rare Ride is a sporty shooting brake from the days when there were still many British manufacturers building cars like it across England. Let’s travel back to the Seventies when everything was brown, excepting this particular Reliant. Reliant fielded a number of small cars between the brand’s inception in 1935 and its demise in […]

Like Chevy Corvette Stingray Coming to Forza Horizon 4!January 12, 2021 at 4:35 PM Well, look who decided to join the party. In this case, it’s the belle of the ball of the automotive world, the new Corvette C8. And the party in question is Forza Horizon 4, the driving game/music festival/whatever. It makes perfect sense, and besides, it’ll probably be the easiest way for me to get into a C8 for a “test drive.”

Like Dunstall Drainpipe: A rare Norton resurfaces in the USANovember 12, 2020 at 12:01 PM Modern race bikes are shiny, perfect things: they have the air of being extruded from 3D printers in a hermetically sealed laboratory. But in days of yore, the typical racer was usually a little battered and bruised, with unique welding marks and bodged-up brackets and bodywork.
We have to admit to preferring them that way, and this Dunstall ‘Drainpipe’ Norton is the perfect example. It’s no Italian supermodel, but it’s still very compelling to look at.

Based in Northampton in England, Mark runs the workshop Retrograde Mechanica as an after-hours endeavor.
