Rolls-Royce Wraith Review – Starry Starry Night
In 1971, Don McLean penned the lyrics to Vincent. Inspired by a book he read, it is a haunting melody that is a tribute to the life of Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh. The opening line ‘Starry Starry Night’ (the relevance of this I’ll get to soon) refers to the oil on canvas Van […]
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 […]
Audi A3 Review – Light and tasty
Audi A3 review – With breakfast being brandished ‘the most important meal of the day’ it’s not surprising that there is a full on multi Billion dollar industry that surrounds it (cereal alone is expected to reach US$43 Billion globally by 2019). From Toast and Cereal to the belly busting Full English or American it […]
Alfa Romeo 4C Review – A real workout
Although Armwrestling dates back to Egyptian times (apparently there are depictions on a tomb dated back 2,000 years), the modern ‘sport’ as we know it is based on a Native American game (Indian Wrestling) of the 19th Century. It’s a simple enough challenge, with their elbows on a flat surface, two people go arm to […]
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 […]
Audi SQ7 review – Two plus one equals WHEEE
Audi SQ7 review – Let’s face it, regardless of how much patience we claim to have; none of us really like to wait. Queues bring on sighs, the revolving wheel or hourglass on the computer sparks anger and frustration and don’t get me started on the endless wasted hours shoe shopping with the wife. On […]
Audi TT – Digitally Remastered
Like most people for many years I have considered the Audi TT to be a bit of a ‘fairer sex’ car, used by drivers that will happily style your hair or maybe at a push; sell you a house but certainly not build one. Now, after spending the weekend with the 2015 TT, I think […]
My Date with Rolls-Royce Dawn
You may recall that several months ago I had lunch with Dawn, a stunning British Model who has links to the Royal family. I felt we hit it off and I made it clear I wanted to meet again. However, for one reason or another our diaries had difficulty in finding mutually convenient dates (she […]
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 […]
