The next chapter in the life of the Bradley GT has started. It sold last week on Bring A Trailer for $4,000. There were over 12,000 views of the auction. If we had charged just $1 for each view, think how far ahead we would be. Our good friends at […]
I grew up in the Parkside District of San Francisco, with a view of the Pacific Ocean from the bedroom in the back of our house. There was a bakery shop around the corner on Taraval Street. Each day on the way home from elementary school, I would stop in. […]
The SCM Bradley GT is one of a kind. When was the last time you saw one actually running and driving? And now you can be part of the adventure. It’s being auctioned on Bring a Trailer at no reserve, with the auction closing this Thursday at 2:40 pm, […]
This was my fourth time attending the Hilton Head Island Concours d’ Elegance. Over the years, it has grown to be a more than just a concours. It bills itself as a Motoring Festival, and that it is. The festivities start the weekend before with the Savannah Speed Classic, […]

On July 12 of this year, the last of the classic cars on the SCM 30th Anniversary tour arrived at the posh Heathman Hotel in downtown Portland, OR. For the previous four days, these 1950s and 1960s sports cars, all owned and driven by SCM subscribers, explored the backroads of […]
“I thought you were shooting a gun at me.” That’s what the police officer said when he pulled us over in Coos Bay, OR. We were an unlikely group of adventurers. Me, co-conspirator Richard Lincoln (of Bradley GT and Autozam fame), my son Bradley — and Carrera, Richard’s cockapoo dog. […]
There was a new Ferrari Lusso waiting for me at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Silver and red, like the exterior of the museum, the 4-seat rocket was sleek and menacing. It was a museum-themed weekend for me in Los Angeles. The Petersen was having its annual gala — and celebrating 70 […]
Suddenly we have more cars than we have parking spaces. It’s those darn “accidental purchases” catching up with me. So our 911 has to go. It’s a 2003 996 6-speed coupe with sunroof. It’s an unusual and attractive seal gray with a light gray interior. The wheels have been powder-coated […]
