Wesley the Land Rover is off for restoration soon, so gave him a bit of a spring clean ready for the lorry picking him and the living van up… I can’t wait for their return!

The future is bright, the future is Bluesky (hopefully), cos this place is a cesspit these days. Come on over and give me a follow!

I’ve done something I thought I never would, I have a “clothing range”… it won’t interest most of you as it’s all about traction engines, but hopefully someone in the niche market likes it! eyesofapenguin.com if you fancy a nose

I mean I’ve had some random afternoons, but this is up there with the best of them. From outside it looks like a garage at a cross roads in the Derbyshire Dales, on the inside though is a stunning collection of mechanical musical instruments and 2 cinema organs. What a sound!

To all men out there, if you’re struggling, reach out and talk to someone, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s been a hard couple of days and I can’t imagine how his close friends and family are feeling. Going to miss you Toby, you were some lad

It’s that time of year again… It’s Team Champs time. Some new rules, trying to remember how it all work, but most of all dreaming I was there and not sat at my desk at 5am in the morning. GO THE POMS!

I got Wesley the Land Rover back today, to say I’m happy is an understatement. Lots of little quirks and bits that aren’t perfect, but it doesn’t matter, that’s what makes Landys so good

It’s time for Appleford 75, the roof is off the Landy, the cameras are packed and there’s engines in steam… could be a good day this!

75 years ago there were a series of races of steam engines held and it was the start of the steam rally movement as we know it today. At the weekend there was an anniversary rally which of course included a number of throwback races!

This was extraordinary 🤩 Ride onboard with Rob Hall as he gives the British Racing Motors V16 a workout in what is surely one of the great demo laps at Oulton Park 🏁 Cracking stuff, frankly 👌

While the stock car world was at Lynn, I was at Shuttleworth where I got to photograph the only remaining Burrell steam wagon in the world, which has just been completed. The majority of this wagon was scrapped in 1931, except for a few bits and pieces. Engineering at its best.
