Shadow Boxing – BMW M140i Shadow edition review
BMW M140 Shadow edition review New Zealand Anyone that’s watched a professional boxing bout will have probably witnessed a fighter rapidly punch the air or shadow-box upon arrival to the ring. In essence, Shadowboxing is sparing with an imaginary opponent, (often in front of a mirror) and is an integral part of training – it […]
BMW i3s Review New Zealand – Are we there yet?
BMW i3S Review New Zealand It’s been a while since I’ve driven the BMW i3, so when BMW NZ said there was a new Sport version to try out, I jumped at the chance. The (originalish) i3 that I had been behind the wheel of, did a lot to change my preconceived ideas surrounding electric […]
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 […]
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.

Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge Review – Going Boldly…
Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge Review UK Being handed the keys to a Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge is one thing, however, receiving them at their custom-designed headquarters in Goodwood England is another thing altogether.

Alfa Romeo Giulia first drive – An Italian Renaissance
There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind about the love that surrounds Alfa Romeo. Despite; or maybe even because of its faults and quirkiness, it’s a brand that inspires great passion and desire. Of course, it’s not without just cause, both design and performance are there with abundance, mind you; it’s fair to say that […]
Felice 70th Anniversario Ferrari
It was on 12th March 1947 that Enzo Ferrari headed out of his modest factory and onto to the Via Abertone Inferiore in his 125 S. With a smile on his face as wide as the gates he had just driven through; he began testing the car’s V12 around the glorious mountainous roads of Maranello […]
Ferrari California T Handling Speciale – Everyday Attraction
Just like Supermodels, Supercars are there to be exalted. They grace the pages of glossy magazines, posters of them adorn walls of pubescent youths (and sometimes older folk) and are leered at lustfully whenever possible. We covet them, desire them and crave knowledge about them, often seeking out and rating their performance against others in […]
Aston Martin DB11 Review – Aston-ishing
It’s not every day that you get the chance to get behind the wheel of a true British thoroughbred car, but today was my day and the car? Well an Aston Martin DB11 of course. From its relatively humble workshop beginnings and through its let’s just say ‘pretty turbulent’ times, this iconic brand seems to […]
Not for Vampires – DS 4 Crossback
DS 4 Crossback review New Zealand Vampire folklore would have you believe that these beings of our nightmares are in fact real and that all over the world there are pockets of un-dead people with fangs that ‘want to suck your blood.’ Books, TV, Movies and even (on the odd occasion) News, will recant tales […]
