WHERE TO GO(A) IN 2016?
Never been to India… although I’ve always wanted to. There’s a former Portuguese province on the idyllic west coast of the country whose motto is “Truth Alone Triumphs”.

AS NICE AS PIE 356
Congrats to Michael Copperthite and his 1953 356 vintage race car just published in a feature I completed for the great guys at Road Scholars.
