Mazda CX-5 Review – having a fielday
In the far off distant land that I come from, the phase ‘having a field day’ conjures up images of smiling faces and glee filled times. With its etymology based around children leaving the humdrum of school work and venturing out on an educational field trip; it’s easy to understand why it evokes such happy […]
Tesla Model S P100D Review – Fidget Spinner
Unless you have your head in the sand, it’s hard to ignore the seemingly overnight success of the Fidget spinner. Virtually everywhere you look; kids (and adults too) have a little device whizzing around in their fingertips and these ‘toys’ that come in various materials and a vast array of colours have become the must-have […]
The All new (yet original) Jaguar XKSS
I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the World’s First delivery of the most amazing Jaguar XKSS. #2 off the line. I will tell you all about it soon, but in the meantime, here are the pics (BTW I was all over it like a rash). Never miss a post – Subscribe now
Kia Rio Review – Chatterbox
I’m pretty sure that any review of the Kia Rio should have some link back to Brazil, or a little Blue animated bird, or maybe even both. I am lucky (cough) enough to have a partner that hails from the great South American country of Brazil and as such have visited the vibrant city of […]
‘Wooden’ it be good to learn outdooors?
Mazda thought so too! Nelson Central School now has a tremendous new outdoor learning area, including a sensory pathway as part of a Treemendous School Makeover they won from the Mazda Foundation and Project Crimson. As if that wasn’t enough, the students were ‘treated’ to a visit from Ruud Kleinpaste,(the Bugman) and Riley Elliott (the Shark […]
Suzuki Swift – Gold at the end of the Rainbow
Rainbows have a magical awe about them. In Roman/Greek mythology Iris (a messenger of the gods) is the God of the Rainbow, In Indonesia a Rainbow is a bridge used by soul boats, Christians think it represents Christ’s throne, the Arabs think it’s a giant Bow and lastly my favorite – The Irish believe that […]
Fieldays Car Fest
New Zealand’s national fieldays is upon us (I’m sure you’re aware) at Mystery Creek nr Hamilton. It’s a place for Farmers and the equipment they use to come together in one HUGE annual event – so you’d maybe assume there would be nothing to see for the rest us huh? you’d be the opposite of […]
Ford Mustang Convertible Review – Lip Sync
I have to admit to being somewhat disingenuous with my thoughts on a certain member of the pop star industry – named Robert Matthew Van Winkle Aka Vanilla Ice. For some reason, somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind, I thought that Vanilla Ice had been caught Lip Syncing (essentially miming to the music). […]
Skoda Kodiaq Review – Holiday Inn Skodarua
With a week’s worth of one on one time up my sleeve, I decided to add an extra dimension to my review of Skoda’s new SUV the Kodiaq by including a family weekend away in Vegas, Rotovegas that is. Including review vehicles in my day to day work and family routines is one thing but (as […]
Mercedes-AMG C 43 Cabriolet Review – Disturbing the Peace
Cabriolets, Soft tops, Dropheads, Open tops or Convertibles, call them what you may but for me, they always bring on a sense of fun, leisure and when outside the confines of city walls; all important fresh air freedom. The simple process of removing a vehicle’s metal (or fabric) ceiling is like unlocking the shackles of […]
