ONE of the great things to do in clog land is the Race Planet experience at the Zandvoort Circuit. Former F1 racer Michael Bleekemolen lets you drive a Lambo Gallardo, Aston Martin Vantage and Porsche around the track in the sand dunes for $600. This includes a lunch of Hollandse nieuwe haring (raw herrings with chopped onions).

And that brings us to the current classic car market. US blogmaster Michael Ballaban told us last week: "The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up! The S&P 500 is up! Nasdaq is way up! But none of those have anything on the collector car market, which is nothing short of absolute insanity at the moment."

Mike says the price of a 300SL Gullwing has increased by more than 150 per cent since 2010. Ferrari buyers have done even better.
