L’art Novo: Bugatti’s Glorious Past Is Alive At Garage Novo
“I never try and understand why we do this, it’s just natural,” says Jean Novo, “and driving a Bugatti is as natural as driving a modern car, for me it is exactly the same.” What began as the fascinating sight of Bugatti cars thundering around the streets of Paris, Henri Novo became determined to work for the famed French automaker. Now, his son Jean keeps the family business running—as well as a number of very special Bugatti models.

Great film – nice tone to it.
BUT also the Maverick genuinely is a great looking car – I’d say better than the Mustang styling. I was a big fan of Pro-stock style Mavericks in the 80s; this reminds me that there should be more of them in use!

Lovely video. A great reminder that happiness lies in finding your event in life, that one thing at which you want to excel, and mastering it. And what other people choose, or think of your choice, is pretty much irrelevant. Thank you Tess.

While I’m not into drag racing, I loved this video. Really took me back to the 70’s , and makes me see how under appreciated Mavericks were back then (I had a 72 Mustang so I looked down on them!)

Tess talked about being born with talent, I don’t think it’s talent one is born with, I believe it is a genetic predisposition for the need for gasoline fumes.

I go on the Blueridge Parkway a lot with my cars and bikes and to to a winery to eat. Just before the entrance there is an old house with several Mavericks in the yard. Tess needs to go there for some cars.
