Red Ferraris, old stones, and the sound of Italy’s

Red Ferraris, old stones, and the sound of Italy’s Motor Valley echoing through the plaza. Modena does not just celebrate Ferrari, it lives it. From racing legends to modern icons, Motor Valley Fest turns the city into a love letter to speed, style, and everything painted Rosso Corsa. I can't wait to go back.

Spent last week road tripping across Tuscany in a MINI Countryman, which was just the luck of the draw from the rental counter. From sampling some amazing wines, learning to make fresh pasta in Florence, and seeing the sites it has been an amazing trip. This week I am in Modena for Motor Valley Fest so be sure to watch my stories to follow along as I visit some of the most iconic automotive brands in Modena Valley.

1971 Motor Trend 500: Rare Amateur Photos From Riv

1971 Motor Trend 500: Rare Amateur Photos From Riverside International Raceway NASCAR’s First Winston Cup Race.

There is something magic about amateur racing photographs. Not the polished stuff. Not the factory-approved images with the perfect exposure, the clean hero angle, and the driver pretending not to notice the camera. I mean the real photographs. The ones shot from the wrong side of the fence. The ones where half the frame is sunburned spectators, chain link, a cooler, a kid in a windbreaker, and somewhere in the background a stock car is trying to claw its way out of Turn 6. Those are the pictures that tell you what racing actually felt like.

Full story and gallery is live on TheGentlemanRacer.com.

On a recent road trip, we made a stop in Santa Fe

On a recent road trip, we made a stop in Santa Fe and called to get an appointment to visit what might be the best vintage clothing store in the world, Santa Fe Vintage.

A stop at Santa Fe Vintage means digging through decades of perfectly worn leather jackets, sun-faded racing tees, old mechanic shirts, Western wear, military canvas, and the kind of motorcycle gear that still smells faintly of gasoline and campfire smoke. Vogue once called it a “mecca” for Americana collectors, and honestly, that undersells it a bit.

Strolling through the store, you never know what you will find. They’re the jacket with patches collected over decades. The well-worn Bell helmet. The oil-stained shop coat that probably spent its glory days leaning over a small-block Chevy somewhere west of Amarillo.

Walk in looking for a shirt. Leave wondering if you suddenly need a vintage Triumph and a cabin in northern New Mexico.

535: Three numbers that became part of Ferrari leg

535: Three numbers that became part of Ferrari legend.

The 1957 Ferrari 315 S wore racing number 535 at the final running of the legendary Mille Miglia, piloted by Piero Taruffi on a route that stretched from Brescia to Rome and back. The number itself marked his start time: 5:35 a.m., a simple system that became one of motorsport’s most iconic visual traditions.

Powered by a thunderous 3.8-liter V12 producing around 360 horsepower, the 315 S was among the fastest machines of its era. Taruffi drove car #535 to victory, averaging over 96 mph across public roads lined with spectators, villages, and very little room for mistakes.

One of the great ironies of motorsport history: Ferrari’s final Mille Miglia victory came at the race’s final running as a true flat-out road race.

A different era. Bigger risks. Louder engines. Better stories.

The new Bulova Lunar Pilot “Black Hole” looked per

The new Bulova Lunar Pilot “Black Hole” looked perfectly at home beside a lunar rover at Windup Watch Fair San Francisco this weekend.

With its ultra-dark Musou black dial, smaller 41mm case, and roots tied directly to Apollo-era history, the Black Hole edition feels less like another watch launch and more like a tribute to the era when America aimed for the moon and actually got there.

To help bring that story to life, we brought out the Polaris-built Lunar Rover replica from the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, turning the Bulova booth into one of the most talked-about displays at Fort Mason.

Some watches tell time. Others tell stories. The Bulova Lunar Pilot still does both.
