COMMENT ........ Retro-speed will look back at the 2010 Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting and compare it with the best in Europe. Maybe it was the sunshine or perhaps the convivial atmosphere but as we drove home we reflected on just how much we enjoyed it.

It's hard to believe we are firming up plans for next year, starting with the ever-popular Rallye MCH in January. Retro-Speed will be carrying a comprehensive preview of the event followed by a series of day and night image galleries, finishing with a results summary. Just like the old days.

Spending time in the company of Ed McDonough, Retro-Speed's Chief Tester, and Peter Collins, while they drove and photographed a pair of ex-Le Mans Jaguars on track at Silverstone made all the hard work of running an on-line magazine worth while. Many thanks, guys. It was also my first chance to admire Peter's latest acquisition, a very pretty, race-prepared 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulia.

The refurbishment of the editorial Lancia Integrale is finished. Hurrah! And all our thanks to Enzo and Marcus at Autocasa. The car has now covered a trouble-free hundred miles. Restoration gallery now complete.
