A Death Forgotten
Originally posted in Veloce Today - May 5th, 2009
NOTE: Since this article originally appeared in Veloce Today, the Helle Nice Foundation has received permission to place a marker on the grave of Helle Nice. There will also be a memorial service at that time. I am burdened by raising the funds to get the marker made and placed by October 31st, 2009, if possible. I am also looking for someone to coordinate a vintage and classic car rally from Paris to the little…

Just posted this on my blog about the stunning
Jaguar Speedster by Eagle E Types:
Has to be the most beautiful thing I've seen in years. Created for an American customer over a four year period, stunning bespoke bodywork, 4.7 litre engine, lovely one-off windscreen. What's your thoughts?

People seek to upgrade their vehicles with stylish elements every now and then to be distinguished on the road. Whether you own a new or old vehicle and want to give a makeover to it, a High Intensity Discharge or HID Kit will definitely help your cause. You can enjoy a number of benefits by installing this kit on your vehicle. Before that, just have a look on the definition of HID.

A somewhat pioneering technology in lighting has arrived at the scene in the form of Xenon HID lights that have given traditional Halogen lights a run for their money. Xenon lights are better in every aspect than Halogens. They are more cost and energy-efficient and last even ten times longer. Five times more light is also generated by Xenon HID lights. If the popularity of Xenon bulbs continues like this, you’ll soon find Halogen bulbs missing from automobile headlights.

A HID Kit consisting of xenon bulbs, digital waterproof and dustproof ballast, and ballast holders is quite long-lasting with high quality bulbs and powerful ignitor. Switching the HID lights on or off won’t consume the energy of your battery. Their high intensity discharge covers a wider area to provide you a safe and smooth driving…

Majority of car manufacturers have started to realize the popularity of Xenon HID lights and incorporated them as a standard equipment in their high level cars. You’ll also have the option of installing these HID headlights on your mid-range cars. These products are also sold separately by a large number of offline and online stores. Owners of older cars are very curious to know about this lighting option and its viability as a source of illumination for their cars.

Henry Surtees, the son of former two and four wheel world champion , John died this evening from his injuries sustained whilst racing at Brands Hatch in the second Formula Two race. He was struck on the head by a wheel which had come off another competitors car after it hit the barrier. A very sad day for the Surtees family and British Motorsport.

It's a good day out west. My ticket package for the Monterey Historic Auto Races has arrived. Nothing better than planning a trip to the track. I hope all the west coast members get a chance to see these races. This year will be special with Porsche as the honored marque. Hope to see you there. I'll be the one with the Riverside Raceway Times Gran Prix sweatshirt. Say hi if you see me.

Hi VRLers,
Welcome to my blog post! Over the 4th of July weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Heartland Nationals Good Guys show in Des Moines. It was a huge show - cars (and people) were everywhere. I took my family along and we had a great time - especially watching muscle cars at the autocross! Without a doubt, the biggest trend happening in the industry today is getting our old cars to do things they originally hated to do - handle well!…
