One of the main components to our car shows every year is the massive turn-out we get from our friends at the British car clubs across the US!  Its always nice to see these marques show up in force.  All Southern British Car Clubs lets keep this tradition going at our Virginia car show this June 1, 2013.  This is a great benefit event!  Looking forward to seeing you all there.

2012 Mt Airy Resort Casino in the heart of the Poconos.  The event: Italians Sports Car Club's LeBelle Macchine d’Italia Concorso d’Eleganza annual event, many of our viewers stopped by to see art-in-motion.  This is always one of the premier event in all of North America.  Beautiful exotics from all the great Italian marques were there; if you appreciate fine automobiles and a special venue than you weren't disappointed.  Over the years this event has evolved into more of a European car show rather than just an Italian only show, it just seems to be getting better every year!  Vintage TV never misses this event, we look forward to it every year.  Check back to this blog soon as we will have more video's shortly of the shows coverage and watch Vintage TV to see there episode based around this event.  It's sure to be a good one!

Vintage Gallery is finally under construction.  The location is 332 Main St Mathews, Va.  This will be a fun yet relaxed gathering place right off the Chesapeake bay in a beautiful untouched section of the Northern Neck.  There are far to many traditional car museums across the US, and that's fine but we're going in a different direction.  Like all of our ventures we aim to be different with an accent on reconnecting with the past yet enjoying the future.  This Gallery will be more inline with and Art Gallery than a car dealership.  I'm sure this venture will evolve and change through the whole process, we are always looking to make things better.  Sometimes you have to be into the heart of an idea before you can step back and be constructive with additional unseen directions of true improvement.  The parent company Majic has been in the car business since 1986.  We always felt that we wanted to give something back & this is the perfect way to do it.  Please check back with my Blog from time to time as there will be many updates over the next year and if you want to see more information about our family of companies please visit us at:

I know I can't wait, the Morgan's are coming, the Morgan's are coming!  For those of you that don't know much about Morgan as a company (shame on you) they have been a family run business in England for over 100 years.  They are one of the last surviving family owned automotive manufactures left in England; Jaguar, MG, Triumph, Rolls Royces, Bentley, Lotus plus lots of others all gone or taken-over by large companies. This latest Morgan model will be a 3 wheeler roadster, you can pick color and interior just like any other car.  What you can't have is a top, this is more like a Motorcycle or Can-am Spyder or AC Cobra than your normal car but that's all part of the fun.  Is this going to be your commuter car, probably not but I see a lot of people going to work now on scooters so who knows?  There won't be many of these units being imported into the US so I would get inline to buy one of these beauties now!  For being such a unique roadster they aren't very expensive. (depending on the exchange rate between $35K to $45K USD) Second this has got to be one of the coolest ways to save on gas, estimates have it around 60+ miles per gallon.  Take that Prius and Smart car, you can't hold a candle to the Morgan in the head-turning department.  Last with 2 wheels in the front it's incredible stable compared to a standard motorcycle or scooters but just as much fun, wait maybe more FUN!  I plan on taking mine with me when we go on our RV trips, how cool is that.  Everyone else will have there little golf carts and I'll be tooling around in this baby, plus I have the added bonus of driving it on the highway.  So I'm waiting for mine to arrive soon, hopefully real soon.  See you all down the road.

I finally got to drive one of the US models, no this one isn't mine.  I ordered a Black one.  This was so much fun to drive and man does it sound mean going down the road.  I will tell you it is a little snug in the cockpit but hey it'll keep me on my diet!  JC will be happy about that too, so I get a new cool roadster and the wife is happy.  LIFE is GOOD!
