Bugatti Type 57S Atalante

January 1st, 2009

Wow… what a find !!!

An almost un-touched Bugatti Type 57S Atalante found in a garage in Newcastle, and probably not moved in 50 years has been “found”.  It’s existence was known by just a handful of people and will now be sold by Bonhams on the 7th Feb in Paris

Not a bad way to start the New Year for the family who found it ??

Porsche Driving Experience Centre

December 28th, 2008

Interested in going driving with Porsche at their facilities ? Well now you can thanks to their new Porsche Driving Experience Centre at Silverstone GB.

Right at the edge of Silverstone it offers loads for the driving enthusiast with areas for :

  • Handling Circuit
  • Kick Plate
  • Ice hill
  • Low Friction
  • and Off Road

Sessions are £275 (or £400 for the GT course !!) and whilst this clearly isn’t cheap looks like great value and certainly an experience to enjoy !

See key elements of the track in use here and watch a video from Car Magazine of a Carrera Cup race car driving the circuit below :

And if you can’t quite afford that, why not treat yourself to a shiny new Porsche book from the CKnet book store.

Welcome

November 11th, 2008

After 7 years on the web, and CKnet having grown over the years and added many new features, I thought it was time to add a blog. It’ll be me commenting on the world of cars, from what I see whilst out driving on our motorways to new cars that I read about in the press and all infused with a bit of opinion from me.

So I hope you’ll hear lots from me over the following weeks as that’ll mean I’ve seen lots of great cars ! And do please join in and share you opinion and let us all know what you think.
