One of the more famous Bentleys to come out of the late ’90s is this exclusive and highly optioned 1999 Bentley Turbo RT long-wheelbase sedan. Affixed to the bottom of the door seal is a plaque stating that this is the last example to be delivered to North America, which
This car was first purchased by Flying Lizard Motorsports, securing three 2007 American Le Mans Series class wins in classic silver/red livery on the way to 2nd in the GT2 standings and 3rd for Jörg Bergmeister and Johannes Van Overbeek. For some, the RSR’s most memorable ALMS finish that year
We’re in the final shakedown period for the local Porsche club NW Passage tour. SCM is a sponsor. It begins in a week and encompasses five days and over 700 miles of driving. It starts in Portland, goes to the Running Y Resort in southern Oregon near Klamath Falls for
I have a simple question. I see an increasing number of rallies and tours offering the option of having the route available as an app on a smart phone. On the SCM 1000, we used both the Rallista app and had a printed route book. Do you have a preference?

Museums were on my mind recently. The same week the Mullin Collection was dispersed through a sale by Gooding & Company, I was visiting Washington, D.C., immersing myself in the capital. You are truly swimming in the sea of our country’s history no matter where you go in the city.
In the March issue, we featured the story of famed E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg and his bad restoration experience. Weinberg was motivated to contact “Legal Files” with his cautionary tale in the hope that fellow SCMers might avoid getting into a similar situation. To recap, Weinberg agreed to
After languishing for years in California’s high desert, the 1948 Norman Timbs Special — a Motor Trend cover car in October 1949 — was restored to a fare-thee-well and won its class at several major concours.
