Jeep Outlaw – Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk review
Just quietly, since watching Turbo channel’s ‘Street Outlaws’ I have grown rather partial to drag racing. Sure it looks pretty simple going quickly in a straight line and yes I admit that (generalising here), both the participants and spectators wouldn’t necessarily win and fashion show at Flemington or Aintree but it’s the rawness, ludicrous power […]
The Porsche Difference
The Porsche Cayenne has had it’s fair share of doubters but this new model is the one to prove them wrong.
Twice as nice – BMW X2 M35i xDrive Review
BMW’s ‘sub compact SUV’ the X2 was added the marque’s ever-increasing range at the tail end of 2017 and subsequently joined us here in NZ early the following year. Displaying the brand’s new styling cues but also featuring a ‘C’ pillar BMW badge that nods back to the CSL of the 70’s, it was heralded […]
Lean and Mean – BMW X4 M40i review
When it comes to writing, there are numerous ways to grab a reader’s attention. Bold of course, or shouty CAPITALS, “speech” or ‘quote’ marks. (brackets), underscore, exclamation marks! I could go on. But one of the lesser used, or possibly more subtle techniques is italics. With their progressive slant and ‘out of the ordinary’ appeal, […]

See why the new Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Cabriolet is the car to brighten up your life!
Lexus RX 350L Review – Savile (3rd) Row
Lexus RX 350L Review New Zealand Savile Row is a small street located in the heart of London’s Mayfair district (the most expensive square to land on in Monopoly). At around 250m, it’s not overly long and if you have a look on Google Maps, it’s not exactly a pretty street, however, aside from it […]
Monzu – Food fit for a King (quite literally).
Having the Ferrari GTC4LussoT for the weekend, it seemed rather fitting to take the family out for an Italian meal, we chose somewhere rather special. Behind the door of a seemingly unremarkable building in 365 Dominion Road is Napoli, well certainly its cuisine. Monzu serves up some of the finest Italian food on the planet, […]
Mercedes-Benz GLC Review – A Very Classy Package
Mercedes-Benz GLC Review New Zealand Like many other New Zealanders, it’s around about now that I start thinking of my summer holidays. Where to go, where to stay, how to get there and what to do. There are so many options out there and to be perfectly honest even when we’ve agreed on a destination, […]
That last ‘kin bolt!
24 hours of LeMons New Zealand Approaching our third 24 Hour LeMons event we thought we had it nailed. Our car, a pristine (cough) ’91 Toyota Celica with awesome pop-up headlights, had been given a bit of a once-over by our genius mechanic (he actually really is) and was even treated to a brand spanking […]
What happens when life gives you Lemons?
Actually, the title should read ‘what happens when you register for 24 Hours of LeMon’s’ but it’s not as catchy. As many of you car/racing nuts are probably aware, this weekend will be the 3rd 24 Hours of LeMon’s event for NZ and we (our team) will be there (Hampton Downs) with bells on – […]
