Leena loves  @LEGO  and on a visit to the newly refurbished giant flagship Lego Store in Leciester Square London, discovered a lifesize  @James Bond 007   @Aston Martin  DB5 Lego car, that you can even sit in. It was made up of nearly 350,000 bricks, took 57 days to build and weights a literal ton! It has working headlights, dashboard lights and a rotating number plate. You can’t buy this car, but you can get the Speed Champions series Lego model complete with James Bond minifigure and five number plates for under £18 at this link https://amzn.to/3TMS44p

Gallery and videos from 2021 Concours of Elegance

Check out all our vids and pics from the fabulous 2021 Concours at Hampton Court Palace

This was my third year attending the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court and it’s safe to say it’s become my favourite classic car event of the year now. The weather is always great, the variety and quality of cars is sensational, the setting is spectacular and quite simply all the best people come here!

This year I got to meet a childhood hero – the incredible Aston Martin Bulldog (now reborn) in person, got my first look at the brilliant Lotus Emira (and enjoyed a splendid lunch with the Lotus team) and found an unexpected star in the form of a hot-rodder classic Lancia Aurelia. Plus 95 British cars. Thanks so much to my buddy Reza Adil for all his help producing this content – see all our pics and videos:

The Cars that could’ve been the Stars – plus a Fridge!

Check out the alternative timeline movie and TV posters

In some classic movies and TV shows, the cars became as big, if not bigger, icons than the human stars. Now we can’t imagine those films without the famous cars – well actually Bristol Street Motors can. It’s dug out the vehicles that might originally have featured, and created posters revealing the would-be alternatives. Some of the cars are quite surprising, but none moreso than the fridge!
