Kia Optima GT – Powerful Family
Families come in all shapes and sizes (Even I have one) but throughout history, there have some families that have seemingly controlled more than their fair share of the world – they are surnames that can be famous or infamous but are ultimately synonymous with power.

Maserati Levante – Natural Habitat
Virtually the moment that Winger Maserati handed me the keys to their new Lavante in their ultra posh showroom in Auckland the heavens opened up outside and not in a good way. Rain had been forecasted (but not to this extent) and I had no way of altering the booking date – why would I […]
