Skoda Kodiaq SportLine review – Power dresser.
Skoda Kodiaq SportLine review – New Zealand I was always brought up in the understanding that first impressions last, and that their importance is paramount. Apparently, during that chance or appointed meeting, the experts believe that this ‘battle’ is won or lost in an instant. Your approach, your smile, your persona, your handshake, what you […]
Suzuki Swift Sport Review – The Suzuki SuperMini is now even Superer.
Suzuki Swift Sport Review New Zealand As anyone that’s played ‘Spot the Swift’ game on a road trip will attest, the Suzuki supermini is a very popular sight on New Zealand tarmac, with double-digit numbers coming in at an astonishing rate. Spotting the Sport model for extra points does take a keener eye though, especially […]
Ferrari 488 Challenge – it’s big, really BIG.
Ferrari 488 Challenge at Hampton Downs New Zealand punches above its weight in so many sports, Boxing, Rugby (of course), Cricket, Netball, Sailing and Motorsport to name but a few. However, aside from a particular chosen few, our venues still have a lot to be desired. We are seldom on the list of ‘must see’ […]

Holden Equinox review – A Stellar SUV
Holden Equinox review New Zealand It’d been a while since I’d been behind the wheel of Holden’s new Equinox, so I guess I could be excused, but I’d forgotten just how car-like this SUV was. Of course not from the outside, although its design is quite sleek, nor in many respects from the amount of […]
Modern Day Family Values
Ferrari GTC4Lusso T Review New Zealand It seems to me that modern day family life is not only getting unbelievably busy but it’s also getting more and more disjointed. What used to be a weekend, is now a series of ‘events’ and what used to be interaction, now seems to be a group of people […]
Mercedes-Benz E 400 Review – A Pearl in two shells
(Well ok, three if you add in the Cabriolet) Mercedes-Benz E 400 Review New Zealand Apparently, there are Saloon people and there are those that have a penchant for the styling of a Coupe, Mercedes-Benz New Zealand figured they’d let me decide what MY preference was by letting me review two E400 models, back to […]
Aston Martin Headquarters visit – They were expecting me
The ultimate Aston Martin Experience A short trip up the M40 from my hometown of Swindon, gets you (me) to Gaydon in Shakespeare county, Warwickshire. Gaydon is a sleepy enough little town, brick and tile homes and a couple of convenience stores but it is also home to the British Motor Museum and a couple […]
The Haval H9 review – Like a large SUV only bigger
Haval H9 review New Zealand Haval is a big thing when it comes to the SUV industry, and yet (probably like you), I hadn’t heard of them until very recently. When I say big, I mean that the Chinese vehicle brand claims to be number one in the world when it comes to the SUV […]
