Editors Notes:
As our long, hot summer really starts, we have some sizzlers inside! First, our cover car is an awesome American Police Car owned by a local Spanish guy. We first met Pedro and his car at the Phoenix Ace Cafe and after hearing that owning the car is a dream come true for him, we just had to feature it. Last month saw the famous TT races from the Isle of Man and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the action on ITV4, you can read our summary on page 19. El Guiri has another weekend ride out this month to a lovely village in the mountains on his Harley - would he ever consider an electric Harley though? Have a look at the brand’s first ever electric bike on page 20. Although we are an auto magazine, we have managed to squeeze in some football-related items during World Cup fever. The top class endurance race, Le Mans, took place in June and we see who the winners were this year. We are also bringing you details about the changes in the Traffic Laws here in Spain to make sure you are aware of them, especially if you have young children. Happy motoring! Professor

The Citroën DS3 Cabrio is the latest advance in the multi-award winning DS3. This exciting new model features intelligent design and dazzling looks to make top down driving more enjoyable. Launched almost three years ago the DS3 has proved an outstanding success for Citroën with over 200,000 sold worldwide, including more than 36,000 registered in the UK alone.
This cabriolet market is dominated by females with owners typically aged 35+. Believe it or not the UK is one of the biggest markets for convertibles in Europe and will compete with other topless models such as the Fiat 500C and the MINI. It’s also expected to appeal to other buyers of convertibles such as the Mazda MX5 or Renault Megane CC.

SPANISH DRIVING LICENCE
An EU citizen can drive in Spain with a non-Spanish licence if non-resident, but there are several exceptions and you should speak to us to check your position. If you are resident, it is necessary to change your Driver’s Licence for a Spanish Licence. The police are doing stop and checks and issuing fines to foreign residents without a Spanish licence, so don’t delay, call us today and get yours changed over. We can take care of the administrative system dealing with this, presenting your application in the Spanish Traffic Department. You will receive a temporary Spanish driving licence until the new one is ready for collection. If you would like to make an appointment for a Spanish driving licence or queries regarding the aforementioned or any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact us. 615 624 471 - 670 814 581

MOTORS IN THE NEWS Is It Real Or Virtual? With the advent of HD TV and advances in gaming, the virtual cars in video games, such as Sony Playstation´s Gran Turismo 6 look so lifelike that manufacturers are using them to design outrageous cars to help with future developments. Last month two were in the news: Nissan showed off its Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, a glimse of what a high performance Nissan could look like in the future. A team of young car designers from Nissan were given free rein to create their dream supercar for their own Gran Turismo fantasy garage. The finished car was created with close collaboration with the creators of the game. It is available to download in Gran Turismo 6 from this month. Volkswagen have also made its monster 500bhp GTI Roadster concept car which was originally created as a virtual car for GT 6. It's powered by a 496bhp 3.0 litre V6 BiTurbo engine. The two-seat roadster has a top speed of 190mph and a 0-62mph time of just 3.6 seconds. It is being shown at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Jaguar F-type Project 7. We saw this concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year and Jaguar have confirmed that the super-roadster is being put into a limited production run. The Project 7 adapts the F-type’s contemporary styling and hardware to create a car that reminds us of the Le Mans-winning D-type, whose 60th anniversary Jaguar is celebrating this year. The ‘7’ signifies Jaguar’s Le Mans wins since the early 1950s, although the company say that there is no plan for a racing return - yet. Jaguar is using the car as the centrepiece for the launch of its new Special Operations (SO) division whose job will be to produce a suite of cars and services specifically designed for Jaguar buyers. The engine is an improved version of Jaguar’s supercharged 5.0-litre V8, giving out 567hp. With a top speed of 186mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.8 seconds, this will be one of the quickest production Jaguars ever. Up to 250 cars will be built, with Jaguar dealers selling them for £135,000 with first deliveries due this time next year.

Lamborghini Countach sells for £330,000. An iconic sportscar of the 80s, the Countach was loud and proud and not afraid of being different. An immaculate RHD 1982 model has just been sold for double its estimate of £120,000-160,000. The 1982 Countach LP5000S has just 8,543 miles on the clock and for the last 23 years it's been covered in a garage, only coming out to be serviced by Lamborghini in London. Countachs are rare, with just over 2,000 made in the model’s 16-year lifespan, but they’ve never previously achieved prices to match classic Ferraris. The sale took place in the Brooklands Museum near Weybridge, Surrey last month and the hammer came down at £337,120. The auction company reported a “gargantuan struggle” as buyers competed for the car.

Aston Martin DB Mark III was launched at Geneva in 1957 and was available only for export until it was shown at the London Motor Show in the same year.
The DB4 GT Zagato used the Superleggera body frame system, five inches was chopped off the original DB4 wheelbase making it easier to handle on a race track.
In 1999 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Aston Martin's victory at Le Mans they produced a pumped up V8 Vantage (Le Mans) limited to only 40.

Sitting pretty on the Valencian F1 Grand Prix street circuit is this wonderful example of an American Police Car. It's a 1991 Chevrolet Caprice V8 5.0 owned by 24 year old Pedro from Torrevieja. When Pedro was a boy he loved the police TV shows and especially the cars on the American police movies. He was always dreaming of owning one of the police units used in all 90's movies: The Chevrolet Caprice.
One day last year in the summer of 2013, Pedro was driving along a country road in southern Alicante when he saw something behind a fence. He says "There it was! A '91 Caprice on a Spanish plates! It didn't look very good, but it was the first Caprice that I had seen in real life, in my life" The passion is so clear in his voice "It quickly came to my mind those memories of seeing that car in every 90's movie. So it had to be mine". He didn't care about the condition of the car, he bought it straight away.
As with every classic car there was a lot to do. He started with the engine; it didn't sound very good since one of the pistons was dead due to the high mileage. The best and quickest option was to replace the engine. He found another engine with only 60,000 miles in the USA and brought it to Spain. Next, the car was painted black & white like a police car and then the decals from Los Angeles Police Department were put on and the spotlight added to the driver's door. He ordered an original lightbar from the LAPD, which is a Federal Signal Aerodynic one used on the 90's Police cars. He says “It was one of the best days of my life when I saw the lightbar on the roof, it made me feel my dream had come true.”

S N A 4 M 2EURES DU H
2014
The 24 Hours of Le Mans 2014 was held on 14-15 June at the 38 turn, 8.469 mile Circuit de la Sarthe in France.
The 82nd edition of the 24 Heures du Mans will live long in everyone’s memory. Action in all four categories went down to the wire; with compelling racing, intense rivalries and some high profile retirements. The number 2 Audi Sport Team Joest of Marcel Fässler (SUI), André Lotterer (DEU) and Benoît Tréluyer (FRA) in LM P1 took overall victory, their third success in four years. All three of the leading manufacturers in LM P1, Audi, Porsche and Toyota led the epic 24 hour race at some stage. Toyota Racing No7 began in pole and held its lead for most of the first 14 hours of the race. However, an electronic issue related to the car’s wiring loom forced its retirement at 04:30 on Sunday morning. Its sister car No8 Toyota Racing had already suffered a misfortune in the early stages of the race colliding in treacherous rain on the Mulsanne Straight with No3 Audi Sport Team Joest. Porsche enjoyed its moment at the front of the race as both Audis suffered turbocharger issues on Sunday morning. Only 36 of the 54 starters completed the race, proving once again that finishing the world’s greatest and most renowned endurance race is a challenge in itself.

Canada
2014 8th June Montreal, Canada The drama started on turn one when pole sitter Nico Rosberg pushed Lewis Hamilton wide and Sebastian Vettel slipped past into second. Then a first lap smash between Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi brought out the safety car and enabled Lewis to retake second position at the restart. After the first pit stops, Lewis was stronger and forced Nico into an error soon after, with the German gaining time by cutting the final chicane. Although Nico avoided a penalty, disaster struck as both Mercedes cars began to lose power, allowing the field to slash their lead and move back into the race at the next round of pit-stops. Both drivers fell behind Felipe Massa when they dived into the pits, with Lewis jumping Nico. But Lewis retired the following lap when his car developed a brake problem. Nico was now coming under pressure from Sergio Pérez and the Red Bull drivers, with Felipe Massa also climbing his way up, overtaking Sebastian Vettel as Daniel Ricciardo overtook Sergio. Daniel overtook Nico with one lap remaining as Sergio and Felipe touched and spun out. Daniel took his first ever F1 victory and his smile lit up the poduim. Nico took second with Sebastian in third.

Canada
22nd June Spielburg, Austria In a surprise qualifying session the Williams team locked out the front grid with Felipe Massa on pole, which he converted into a lead at the start. Valtteri Bottas was passed by Nico into the first corner only to retake second place into Turn Two. Behind, Lewis drove a superb first lap, moving up to fourth after starting ninth following a spin in qualifying. At the first pit stops, the Mercedes and Williams were behind Sergio Perez who was on a different tyre strategy. Sergio held off Nico for 16 laps until lap 27, when the German took the lead. At the last pit stops, Lewis jumped Valtteri, while Nico went on to take the victory with his team mate second, Valtteri was overjoyed with third and Felipe finished fourth. "I'm really, really happy," said Valtteri Bottas on achieving his first podium. "It's difficult to put into words. Thank you to the team for giving me this car. The race was exactly what we needed, clean, nice. I'm so happy." Nico now has a 29 point lead over Lewis, making the British Grand Prix even more important to the Brit.

The current maximum penalty for driving under the influence of alcohol will remain at €500 but should the driver double the permitted rate (0.5 mg per litre of exhaled air or 0.3mg for novice & professional drivers) or get caught again within a 12 month period the fine will be €1,000. 2. All foreign drivers who are residents in Spain must register their vehicles in Spain. If you fail to do this you face your vehicle being confiscated! 3. It is compulsory to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle within a city or town for those under 16 years of age.
Drive carefully! 18
4. Children shorter than 1.35m (previously children under 12 years old) are not allowed to travel in the front seat, not even with the child restraint system. This also applies when travelling in a taxi. Fines of up to €200 are being applied to the parents or guardians responsible for the child. 5. Radar speed detectors are prohibited and the use of them will be punished with a fine of €200 and the loss of 3 points. However, it is still legal to use devices (avisadores) which provide information on the location of fixed cameras. 6. The new law allows authorities to restrict the traffic in certain areas to reduce pollution.

The world famous 37 and 3/4 mile Mountain Course is on public roads, which are closed to traffic during the races. The races take place in a timetrial format and the riders are in a class of their own. The course is not for the faint-hearted with many hazards including stone walls, trees, bumpy tracks and sharp corners. The riders reach speeds of over 130mph.
Other notable winners included Gary Johnson in the Supersport Race 1 and Dean Harrison in the Lightweight (pictured above).
May 24 to June 06 2014
John McGuinness won his 21st TT race in the SES TT Zero race in record breaking style. Riding the Mugen Shinden, McGuinness was ahead from the start and with set a stunning new lap record, reaching 117.366mph, shattering Michael Rutter's time of 109.675mph set last year.
Michael Dunlop took four wins from five starts just like last year and has shown he has the matureness and skill to be the best. He has 11 TT wins to his name so far. Can he beat John McGuiness´s record 41 wins?

Electric Harley
Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has introduced its first fully electric motorcycle, offering bikers the chance to test and provide feedback on what would they expect from an electric motorbike. Part of the company’s Project LiveWire, the innovative eco-friendly motorbike was unveiled by Harley Davidson’s chief marketing officer Mark-Hans Richer during an event in New York in June. The Project LiveWire motorcycles are not currently for sale and will be used by Harley-Davidson to gain insight into riders expectations from electric motorbikes. The bike is capable of driving at 150km/h, with a range of 130 miles before it needs recharging, a procedure which would take between 30 minutes and one hour. Harley-Davidson says the vehicle will be able to accelerate to 60mph in 4 seconds. First impressions were favourable, but the lack of the trademark roar (this bike is silent) was the main criticism. They will need to address this major difference to succeed into the ever green future.

1st June Mugello, Italy
A group of riders meet on Thursdays 10am (weather permitting) at the Sunset Cafe, Cabo Roig. Call 671 826 201 or email mollyandbaileybassett@hotmail.com if you fancy joining them.
Ride 14: Albarracin To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the great escape, it was chosen as the theme for LGDG MCC weekend in Albarracin. Rob led us to Novelda where we joined the A31 and followed the 'castle' route as far as Almansa for a rest and fuel stop. Onto the Ayora valley and another break at Requena then on through Rincon de Ademuz on the N330 before we got to Teruel. The final run into Albarracin was beautiful and we were greeted at the campsite by brave members of the Resistance, Thor and Haggred; who had arrived earlier from their trip round Italy. INITIATION AND CHALLENGES After the quiz, the 'newbies' were told what they had to do/find etc over the course of the weekend. Some more food was eaten and I believe one or two beers may have been consumed. THE ESCAPE Saturday saw a 'Hilts style' escape to explore Albarracin itself and 'recce' the surrounding countryside. The village is amazing and the rideout later on up and down mountains and valleys saw us dodging black skies but staying dry! A stop was made for lunch then it was back to 'The Camp'! Limited space in the tunnel meant that only 4 could be put forward for 'escape'. PoshDave volunteered to 'stay behind' just like in all the best war movies: "Save yourselves chaps, just leave me some water and the pistol and I'll hold them off as long as I can". Throwing themselves headlong into the 'spirit of the thing', Badger and Zorst duly presented a workable 'escape plan' (utilising the daily rubbish removal service!), fake ID's and items of ladies 'apparel' (for disguise!). At the last minute the guards were distracted (when, whilst searching him they ordered Captain Commando to drop his trousers! Don't ask!). PoshDave quickly used Minty's waterproofs as an improvised 'Balloon', filled with hot air by HandyAndy and Rob!! Andy sailed over the fence to unexpected freedom! All in all, 4 escaped the status of 'prospect' and became Full members, well done lads and welcome to the club! Badger, Panman, Zorst and PoshDave. Saturday night saw the now traditional Club Dinner before bed and back home the next day.
Marc Marquez in Spain
Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez were out in front and battled for the lead over several laps, with some great moves as each fought for the win. In the end, Marquez clinched the victory on the last lap, beating Lorenzo by a very slim 0.121s. Valentino Rossi was in his 300th Grand Prix and his home crowd spurred him on to take third place from starting 10th, just 3 seconds behind Lorenzo. With Dani Pedrosa and rookie Pol Espargaro in 4th and 5th, it meant that there were four Spaniards in the top five.
15th June Barcelona, Spain
Another terrific race saw Valentino Rossi lead for most of the race chased by the Hondas of Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa. Marquez overtook on the final lap to take the win half a second ahead of Rossi, who was lucky not to crash out after a touch to his rear wheel by Pedrosa in the closing stages. The triumph for Marquez was historic as it came on the same day as an earlier Moto3â&#x201E;˘ victory for his brother Alex Marquez, the first time in 65 years of World Championship competition that siblings have won Grand Prix races on the same day. 28th June Assen, Netherlands We will report on this next month.
July Date: 13th July Sachsenring, Germany You can watch the race live on BTSport or Telecinco and La Sexta show the races later on Spanish TV and ITV4 have a highlight programme at 9pm on a Monday evening following the race.
