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 […]
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, […]
Lexus CT 200h F-Sport Review – the 150-volt shock you want
Lexus CT 200h F-Sport Review New Zealand I’d like to think that I am pretty open-minded, that I embrace change, or accept that time doesn’t stand still, I’d like to think that. However, in reality, I have a tendency to have a more conservative approach to things. I don’t enjoy change for change sake and […]
Jaguar Performing, Performance Art
Jaguar Art of Performance review New Zealand Performing Arts are essentially an emotional expression. They are a way for artists to convey feelings and emotive articulation through the likes of music, dance and theatre and generally in front of a live audience. The Jaguar Art of Performance Tour is all of the above but in […]
Ford Ranger Raptor – Performance Plus Baja ha ha
A recent study by Ford research boffins in Europe highlighted that regularly driving a sports car can greatly increase your sense of well-being and emotional fulfilment. Therefore, unfortunately, although our off-roading friends may find a certain sense of pleasure slowly wallowing around in the mud ruts of the countryside, they have evidently been missing out […]
BMW 640i Gran Turismo – Pleasantville.
BMW 640i Gran Turismo review New Zealand Pleasantville pops up fairly regularly on a map of the US. States such as Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Iowa, Pennsylvania and even Hollywood has one (although their one is set on TV and back in the 1950’s). To me, the thought of living somewhere ‘pleasant’ has a […]
