Her Car Restoration Diary (10) | NEAR MISS In a VINTAGE BUGATTI |

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Gromit is back on the road.

This film follows our second rally together — the first long journey after the full rebuild. Three days of lessons, laughter, and the quiet rhythm of an old Bugatti finding its voice again.

From cold morning starts and stubborn gears, to open roads, navigation challenges and late-evening reflections — every mile reminds me why I chose this path.

I’m still learning under the guidance of my mentor, one car at a time. My dream is to one day have my own workshop, filled with rescued machines that might otherwise have been forgotten — cars kept alive through patience, care, and the courage to keep driving them.
