It was bigger and better than ever before with a huge variety from classics to modern super cars.

No doubt about it – The Porsche 356 Speedster is the greatest convertible ever made by the mankind, along the great British icon Jaguar E-Type, that is. There is just something indescribably magical about the curved lines and those distinct headlights of the Speedster that place it above anything else ever produced. It is any man’s dream to take a car of his dreams for a drive on an iconic stretch of road, with the wind blowing, sun shining and the engine roaring loudly - it’s what the life is all about; and that’s exactly what we did for the photo shoot of Mike’s 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster.

Life is too short to be boring; we have to enjoy ourselves, have fun in what we do, including driving. Luckily there are many manufacturers that understand that a car is not just a means of getting about, nor is it about the leather seats, the sat nav, the adaptive cruise control or Bluetooth gadgets. One of the cars that couldn’t care less about the toys or gadgets, comfort or how many bags will fit in the boot is the VX220.

Craig Breen claimed the top place on the podium at the Circuit of Ireland 2016 repeating his last year’s success; but just like previous year the victory wasn't just handed to him on a plate. The Irishman had a close and nerve wrecking fight between him and Kajetan Kajetanowicz throughout the weekend until the Polish talented driver admitted to another defeat.
