All of my friends know that I love to travel. But while I love seeing new places and countries, I don't feel the same way about flying....or rather the act of flying. And the smaller the plane, the more I tend to get that sinking feeling. My friend Bruce has been a bit of an aviation buff for many years. He can easily tell you the names and paths of just about every type of plane landing at the airport. So when a mutual acquaintance of ours made a suggestion to take a short flight around the island (for his pilot's license requirements), he was ready to jump at the chance. I will admit that I was lukewarm to the idea but their enthusiasm was infectious.
Maybe it was time to try something new. So, even with the initial misgivings, I decided to jump in. The first flight got cancelled due to the weather but the second one looked good. So on May 5 2018 (Cinco de Mayo), I decided to bite the bullet and packed up my camera to take in a side of Barbados not seen by many. I've been on a plane to and from Barbados before, but never circling the island at around 2,000 ft. And what an experience it was.
One sign of a great tour is having a guide who can point out notable landmarks. If you zoom in and look near the coastline, you'll see the East Point Lighthouse, also known as the Ragged Point Lighthouse. It's one of four lighthouses on the island, even if it isn't open to the public. The coastline in this area is pretty rugged and swimming isn't encouraged in this area. Still it offers some amazing views if you're ever out hiking in the area.
More to come....hope you're excited to see this series.
To all of you, hope you enjoyed the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are!

Launched in 1963, the Giulia Sprint GT featured a classic fourseater body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, director of Bertone. One of the rarest variants was the limited edition GTC convertible, the only four-seater convertible in the Giulietta/Giulia family, with only 999 units produced between 1964 and 1966. Subtly restyled by Milanese coachbuilder Touring, the GTC featured a slightly more sloping rear end, rear windows that could be raised and a soft top that folded discreetly into a recess behind the rear seats, while improving boot capacity.
A rare example delivered new in France, this delightful GTC has benefited from a high-quality restoration. The bodywork is well aligned and, although the paintwork shows its age, it is still beautifully finished and perfectly smooth. The underbody is in particularly good condition, with no visible signs of corrosion, and the chrome trim and interior are in very good condition. Exciting to drive, the GTC is equipped with a 1,570 cc inline 4-cylinder alloy engine mounted on two Weber 40 DCOE carburettors, developing a respectable 108 hp at 6,000 rpm. With its 5-speed manual gearbox, 4-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes and independent front suspension, it is considered a must-have for any collector of the brand.
Presented here with no reserve price, this is an opportunity to acquire one of the rare GTCs delivered new in France, still equipped with its original engine and a comprehensive file of invoices.

Since I had until 10pm - UK time to capture some final shots, it meant not much time could be spent car. Sure it could of got more attention. But I wanted to capture some more race themed shots, before the limited time demo came to a close.
Now will I feature this car in the future. Depending on what cars are in my garage on FM7 or GT: Sport, there is a small chance it could be featured sometime. Anyway hopefully there is enough shots to tide you guys over, until the GTI gets another small chance to be featured.
Then again if it doesn't get featured one thing must be said. Sorry guys, but I did mention it has a small chance to be featured.
KBP and I took our Ferrari 328 GTS to "Passione Ferrari" at the Silverstone racing circuit in the UK, on Saturday, September 24, 2016. An excellent day of male-bonding in the late summer sunshine.
