GLORY RESTORED: Chasing the Alpine Dream

https://youtu.be/2TdYfbosJhc In Stuttgart, two brands are king: Porsche and Mercedes. Their presence is ubiquitous, paved into the roads, the culture, and the very identity of the region. If you grew up there, you were supposed to pick a side and pledge allegiance to one of the two. Jürgen Claus grew up in Stuttgart but didn’t adhere to that conventional German wisdom. Something else had earned his attention. In flashes, glimpses, and a few stolen frames of life during rides on his bike, he would spot a car. It would streak past, barely there, and then gone, but each time, it gave Jürgen somet ..read more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJDrjdXmFeI Dave will be the first one to tell you his ’67 Shelby GT350 isn’t period correct. But when it comes to ticking the boxes of what truly matters, concours rules don’t even make the list. This car is more than a restoration; it’s the embodiment of perseverance, sacrifice, and a vision he held onto for decades. As a teenager, Dave watched the GT350 roll past his gas station, driven by a Vietnam veteran who had bought it brand new. To Dave, it wasn’t just a car; it was a rolling symbol of freedom and individuality. He knew, deep down, it would be his some ..read more

Round 2: A Box-Flared Reunion

The attraction to automobiles does not always pertain entirely to a physical quality. Sure, a car’s design, or its smell, or its sound can be part of that attraction, but a bigger part lies within something more abstract. If there was ever anyone who could relate to such an emotion, it would be Rob Simon. His steed of choice has been, and always will be, the legendary BMW E30 M3. In the automotive space, the legendary Bavarian warrior needs no introduction or backstory. It has long been heralded as one of the most exceptional machines ever sculpted by mankind, offering a pure driving experienc ..read more

When it comes to Porsche, the 911 often takes center stage. But for Patrick, a dedicated transaxle enthusiast, the 968 offered something the 911 couldn’t—a harmonious blend of performance and practicality. Patrick’s journey with the Porsche 968 began as a decision to seek out a car that fit his life better than the iconic 911. The 968, with its transaxle design, six-speed gearbox, and refined balance, struck the perfect chord for a car that could handle both spirited driving and daily errands ..read more

Having to sell your precious ride is an unfortunate yet common reality of being an automotive enthusiast. Whether it’s because of a growing family or because of financial troubles, having to part with a car you’ve poured blood, sweat, and tears into is a heartbreaking moment. Daniel can relate to that feeling all too well. Back in the 1990s, when he was 13 years old, Daniel and his family would drive by a field in Reno every week where a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe wearing many coats of aging paint sat next to a shed surrounded by weeds ..read more

A Ferrari-powered Irish road trip

There are many great roads in the world and therefore many great road trips. Covering them all is the XXL Family Bucket list of bucket lists – and of course, I’ve got one. The Transvaal Highway, Route 66, the depths of Patagonia, and Iceland’s Route 1 - they’re all on there but I feel it’s smart to tick off those closer to home first. I’ve enjoyed the NC500 in Scotland, crossed the Lake District, and plowed through Snowdonia, but Southern Ireland, with its wild coastline and craggy rocks, has always been on the list and finally, I had the good fortune to tick it o ..read more

It’s not often that you get the opportunity to turn a passion project into a full-time business but should that chance arise, grab it by the horns and don’t let go. Such is the story of Axel Budde from Kaffeemaschine Motorcycles. “I started motorcycling on a BMW when I was 18 in 1994. I actually fancied old English motorcycles, but couldn´t afford them,” Axel said. “When I was 20 I was looking for a bigger classic motorcycle, but nothing was really satisfying. The BMW engine just didn´t speak to me, the English bikes were a bit too small, and 4 cylinders did not appeal to me aesthetically.” Th ..read more
