Speed Record Car: Blue Flame, 1002 km/h, 1/43 Scale Miniature Car

I acquired a model of the Blue Flame, the 1970-1983 world speed record holder clocking 1002 km/h. The nose pitot tube was damaged, so I repaired it. The overall look is quite well done, though the cockpit might be a bit too high.

Miniature Car 1/43 “Blue Wonder” Mercedes Racing Transporter

I bought a 1/43 scale model of Mercedes' racing transporter, the Blue Wonder. Altaya's version is the best among the various manufacturers. It skilfully recreates the 1955 curved body and the vivid blue paintwork. As a bonus, I bought Altaya's 300SLR and placed it inside to recreate the display at the Mercedes-Benz Museum.

National Motor Museum Beaulieu

Visited the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in the UK. They’ve got an enormous collection of cars, from classic rides all the way up to modern F1 machines. The highlight? The speed breakers—the land speed record cars—like the Bluebird CN7, Sunbeam 1000, and Golden Arrow, all legendary machines on display.

London, Brooklands museum

A visit to the Brooklands Museum near London. Brooklands was the world's first race circuit and the UK's largest aircraft manufacturing base, and it is a wonderful place that can be enjoyed by fans of both cars and planes. You can take a tour of the inside of the Concorde and experience driving on the old race circuit.
