Ferrari F40: Dougie style

2 August, 2017

A lot of you won’t have heard of Doug DeMuro. He’s a polarizing character that reviews cars on the internet (sometimes the comments on his videos are better than the reviews).

While his production values aren’t that of Top Gear, he’s happy having a laugh at his own expense and he does his research and discovers a lot of quirks on some very cool cars which generally makes for good entertainment.

His latest video is discovering the Ferrari F40 first hand and uncovering a fair bit of information that will bore your dinner guests to tears this weekend. Enjoy!

Lunch with … Rodger Anderson

At first, I wondered if I’d driven up the wrong driveway. The car in the garage was an early Mustang resplendent in royal blue with two broad gold stripes, which was not what I was expecting. I knew that Rodger Anderson, who made his name in Minis and a BMW 2002, was a Porsche man these days — the other end of the spectrum from American muscle. I had no idea of his affection for Detroit iron. It didn’t take long to discover just how passionate this former Saloon Car Champion is about cars, as long as they’re interesting.

Back from the brink – 1968 MGB GT

Auckland classic car enthusiast Kerry Bowman soon realised he had a massive job on his hands in restoring his classic 1968 MGB GT. When Kerry and his MGB first appeared in New Zealand Classic Car in March 2021, in “Behind The Garage Door”, the stripped-out shell had revealed some nasty surprises. Once the true extent of the hidden damage was discovered, the work would normally have been handed over to a professional fabricator. However, with the assistance of experts such as MG specialist restorer, Paul Walbran, Kerry has completed an impressive restoration and saved this car from the scrapheap.
