Fantastic Ferrari

(or not as the case may be, as you know being an F1 fan we do not like Ferrari - moany whining team when they don't win, which is pretty much ALL the time now. Ha! The Red Bull team is almost as bad now, but I digress...)

As much as we are not fans of F1 Team, we can't say that Ferrari makes horrible cars.

In fact they are some of the prettiest cars about.

Emblazoned with the Prancing Horse, these cars are there to get your attention. (And go very fast! Vroooooooooom)
Based in Maranello, Italy, and started by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 they stared with racing cars and then produced street legal vehicles.
"Ferrari road cars are generally seen as a symbol of speed, luxury and wealth"



This book is a collection of photos of these mythical beast cars.
Limited Edition of 100 copies.
£40
"25 years of calendar images" by Gunther Raupp


Just look as those lush cars. I want one. A car, not a coffee table book such as this, as lovely as it is, it doesn't make the noise....

So of course I had to post an F1 vid, but this is purely for comedy value, not a Ferrari in sight. Oh deer.

Bye for now

British Grand Prix

You can visit us 7 days a week. Even on a Sunday we are open from 11am till 4pm.

However this Sunday as well as Glastonbury happening, I shall be glued to the tellybox watching super fast and sexy F1 cars doing laps of Silverstone. Vroooooooooom!!!

(But the ever so lovely Andrew the relief manager, will be in ready to take your money.)

Good 'ol Wikipedia says "Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1 and referred to officially as the FIA Formula One World Championship, is the highest class of single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)."

It is the only sport that I get super excited about and I MUST watch. Formula 1 is just a feast for the senses. Plus the BBC has Fleetwood Mac's, The Chain as the intro music and it is just the most perfect music choice.



Love a bit of wheel to wheel racing, and with such characters as Kimi Raikkonen (my favourite) and Jenson Button and 'baddies' like Fernando Alonso to cheer when they crash put - mwahahahaha! - the 2013 season is heating up nicely.

Kimi's awesome radio chatter at Abu Dhabi 2012

Brook Green wants to get in on the action so here we have some Formula 1 caps. Oh yes.
Some old Jordan racing caps, signed, but we can't make out the signature - possibly Giancarlo Fisichella - and an old Caterham/Lotus team cap.




Selling at £4 and £28 for the signed caps, you can pretend you in the DRS zone and overtaking for the lead....
"....And look at that overtake! Inches apart, will she make it stick?....YES SHE DOES. Great move...."
No? Just me then. ho hum. Anyway where was I? oh yes.
BUY our hats.


oh and we also have Senna on DVD (£2) for those who have yet to see the documentary movie.
I give it 5 stars. Brilliant. 10 out of 10.


Yes, I do love F1

Bye for now
