Ferry from Hull, UK to Rotterdam. All the Nürburgring bros 😎






The TR4 was a legit 100k build, Miata’s were 10k HPDE heart breakers. Been here 2 weeks, got kicked out of my AirBNB today for cold started my MG at 7:30am. **** these Karens, Nürburgring, Amsterdam, Belfast, Dublin, Holyhead, Beverley, let’s go!

 

My B GT ❤️❤️❤️

First time on a ferry, I can bring my girlfriend “B GT”, I can pound beers, walk around, have a cabin and bed, F flying lol

 

15 years ago we would have been the guys in the Miata’s. Lol

 

Epic post. Thanks for sharing, living the dream boys!!

Whose TR4 is that? I've got a GT6 and that TR4 looks familiar. Love the old British junk!

 

Just reread your post, love the GT6’s, got a Stag and a few parts cars at the Texas casa.
GT6 is my B GT, common mistake NP. TR4, no idea, but if I see him again, I’ll make a standing offer that’s high AF, I can afford to sleep on the couch for two months lol. Yup, love seeing the newbs breaking Porsche hearts in 2026. I gave some crotch rockets a run for there money in Salt Burn 3 days ago, wife got car sick 🤢, totally worth the *** chewing lol. Even a stock MGB can disappoint squids 😘 oh, and UK is dope, all the blokes are nice as ****, the women and the lorries can duck a Di$k… Like literally openly “racist”? To American men, no matter how many yes mam’s and tips? Also they are crazy about Trump here, everyone brings it up. I just say, I hate all of them, it’s the most unpolitical response I can think of and continue talking. Ugh, a Texan in Cowboy boots living in Europe…FML

 

I’m impressed that we’ve got some old British car fans here. My first car was a ‘61 TR3 - old, a decent body with a trash motor, but it was only $350. My older brother(had a Healey 3000!) and I found a donor wreck, rebuilt that motor and swapped it in - I learned more doing that than in all of high school.
Another thing that car taught me was about old British reliability, a lesson I forgot about 30 years later when I got a ‘60 Turner 950S. It had been an old VSCCA racer that was converted back to street legal. Sold it to a guy who turned it back into a race car - a Spridget motor but only about 1200#, faster than you’d think.
A friend had a Stag - it was fast, but the top and the engine/drivetrain leaked quite a bit. Pretty car.

 

Likewise, a couple of Bugeyes here.

First in my late teens-early trwnties

Dig those stringbacks with the cut off fingers - way cool!
Fast car, fast women, too good to last ...

Then some years later

He is 50 next month ...
The difference in the cars says it all - this one has bumpers, hubcaps, and a baby seat - complete with occupant!! Life moves on ...

I kept No2 for around 40 years, it needed a thorough restoration but had everything still - steel bonnet, tach drive, air cleaners, all the stuff we used to throw away. But the MX5 was a better, faster car and I couldn't do both. I shed a tear when that thing went down the road on a trailer.

Good times, lots of automotive learnings, and great memories!

 

I've had a couple of Austin Healey Sprites. Lots of fun if you stay off the big roads.

Looks like you guys are living the dream.
