The GBGT Journal – this page really doesn’t explain the Journal nearly as much as explain the people who feel at home within it!
Cars brought me here. The journeys kept me interested.
After a lifetime of admiring, and sometimes owning, grand touring cars, I found myself becoming increasingly interested in everything that surrounds them. The planning, anticipation, preparation and discoveries. The roads chosen for no better reason than they looked interesting. The notebook in the glovebox. The lunch stop worth revisiting. The memories brought home from a good journey.
GB GT Journal is an exploration of those things.
It may appeal to:
- the young engineer driving an ageing sports car;
- the father with children and a mortgage who dreams of an Aston Martin one day;
- the overworked professional looking for excuses to take the long route home;
- the photographer who notices places worth remembering;
- the enthusiast who prefers the quieter road to the busier one;
- the clubbable loner who enjoys good company, but doesn’t always need it;
- anyone who values craftsmanship, good manners and doing things properly.
Some will already know this world.
Others may be discovering it for the first time.
If these instincts feel familiar, you may find something of interest here.
Welcome.
