REAL TREE WOOD!
Aug 13th
Just like a high-quality gearknob feels great in the hand and somehow enhances the art of the manual gearchange, this new – and lovely – Cherry wood had puck from Revive Auto Apothecary is a thing of beauty.
More than just a luxury item it makes the application of paste wax and polishes a cinch as it allows evenly distributed pressure meaning that coverage is consistent on a panel while it also reduces strain on fingers and wrists.
You can use it with Revive’s applicator although whisper this – and don’t tell them – but any Velcro-backed pad can be pressed into More >
THIS WILL SHIFT IT!
Aug 13th
This professional-grade high pressure, mobile hot washer from Machine Mart is perfect for really effective cleaning of cars, vans, boats, agricultural machinery and much more.
The Clarke KING 200 uses a hot jet of up to 90°C which will rapidly dissolve dirt or grime, powered by an economical diesel-powered water heating system delivering a maximum pump pressure of 2175psi and water flow rate of up to 600-litres per hour.
This hot pressure washer benefits from a heavy-duty brass pump head and induction motor for long term reliability. It also comes complete with an extra-long 1270mm gun and lance, an 8m high-pressure hose More >

LIKE LAVA
Aug 13th
I do like a tub of paste wax. I have a bit of a collection. One of my favourites also has one of the longest names. Lava Luminous Glow Infusion Paste Wax! It comes from Californian-based Chemical Guys. I like a lot of the company’s myriad products, all of them seemingly having a beautiful smell about them, while most – not all – work superbly, I find.
One of their best, in my view, is Lava. It has a lovely whiff of mango (I think) is a very soft paste and a little goes a very long way. Simply puts some More >
AT SPEED WITH ATSPEED

A BEAUTIFUL BOUNCING BABY BUGATTI!
Aug 6th
Not strictly one for us but given our love of all things ‘specialist’ and this is way cool, I decided to run it!
At the Geneva International Motor Show in 2019, Bugatti announced a 110th birthday present to themselves, the re-imagining of the original ‘Bugatti Baby’
Since then the design concept has been completed and the little car has gone into series production with deliveries commencing soon.
Developed in partnership with The Little Car Company, the Baby II has been described by those who have had the opportunity to drive it as ‘more of an unruly teenager than a Baby’.
While all 500 cars were More >
PRESSURE – GOT ME UNDER PRESSURE
Aug 6th
Webcon has announced a new fuel pressure regulator for use with carburettors which will reduce high EFi fuel pressure down to low pressure.
This reduction allows a more stable high pressure/high flow, EFi type, fuel pump with a swirl pot to supply a carburettor fed engine. The result is a smoother, uninterrupted fuel supply which is less affected by fuel vapour lock or centrifugal forces during cornering, acceleration or braking – all without the need of an ECU or full EFi conversion.
The WFR602 Regulator can also be used with low-pressure fuel pumps and is suitable for both normally aspirated or turbocharged More >
FIDANZA BEEF UP TRIUMPH CLUTCHES
Aug 6th
Summer’s here and hopefully, the current restrictions will still allow us to get a little top-down driving done before the autumn sets in. To add to the fun Fidanza, Americaʼs leading performance flywheel specialist has a direct replacement lightweight aluminium flywheel to improve the performance of the classic Triumph Spitfire.
The Fidanza aluminium flywheel replaces the heavy standard flywheel and improves the power-to-weight ratio thus making the engine more responsive and improving performance and acceleration.
The flywheel is made from high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminium with a 1050 steel friction surface, CNC-machined fastener holes and chamfers with military-grade fasteners.
The friction surface of More >
REVIVE WITH A QUICK SPRAY
Aug 6th
I really like Quick Spray Wax from Revive Auto Apothecary. It’s a perfect companion to their Quick Detailer and acts as a great ‘topper’, which is a final gloss coat over an application of wax. It leaves a hydrophobic finish that results in a crazy amount of beading.
Longevity is good with no water-spots left following inclement weather, which can happen with some other similar products, rather the Revive Quick Spray Wax retains its original high-gloss.
I got at least one month of high performance from just one application of this product and this remained a constant thanks to a further application More >
BARE NAKED DONKERVOORT
Aug 6th
Donkervoort Automobielen has taken the clothes off its D8 GTO-JD70 with the long-planned Bare Naked Carbon Edition (BNCE). Available with either clear or coloured lacquer, the Bare Naked Carbon Edition gives the JD70 a stunning, high-art texture and highlights the precision of Donkervoort’s carbon-fibre expertise, all while making the 700kg car several kilograms lighter.
JD70s with BNCE technology can be delivered in a raw, naked carbon look or with a coloured lacquer coating in either matte or polished finishes.
Claimed to be the first production car in the world with 2G of cornering muscle, the JD70 was developed as a tribute for More >
