Panamericana Grille and Diner – AMG GLC 63 S review
Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe review New Zealand Google up ‘Panamericana’ and you’ll get results that vary from a Peruvian TV network and a University in Mexico, to a ninety-minute road trip documentary, a gruelling motor race and numerous Diners serving up a whole host of culturally inspired cuisine. But add a ‘grille’ to your […]
Getting our A into G with Mercedes-Benz
There’s little doubt that Mercedes-Benz have a very impressive SUV line-up (well vehicles in general for that matter). Boasting everything from the 5.5L V8 powered AMG GLS 63 (and of course the G-Wagon) to the all new X. Large or small and whatever the terrain, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz have a seat that will […]
Mercedes-AMG E 43 Review – it gets the thumbs up
Science would have you believe that there are very few differences between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. The obvious ‘visual’ connection would be with primates but we also share a large percentage of our DNA with them too (up to 98.8%). It doesn’t stop there though. Apparently, we share our DNA with […]
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 […]
Mercedes AMG GLS 63 – High and Mighty
The phrase ‘high and mighty’ often has a negative connotation, it can be used to describe people as arrogant or self-important, grandiose or just haughty but I think there is a simpler and more positive way to utilise this phrase and the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 will help me explain. You see to me, most epithets […]
Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 Coupe review – Is this a Typo?
Most of the time I like to know as little as possible on the vehicle I am to review. I consider it a type of blind date where I get to have that initial meet and greet (with all that wonder, speculation and assumption that comes with it), followed by spending time getting to know […]
CLA 45 AMG review – X Marks the Spot
Scotsman Robert Louis Stevenson first published Treasure Island in 1883; it is an adventure novel full of Pirates, Swashbuckling Buccaneers, talking parrots, far off lands and high sea high jinks. It’s a tale of Good guys verses Bad, Brotherhood, Loyalty, Greed and Mutiny all shrouded in the quest to find buried treasure. Despite some of […]
Mercedes-AMG – Driving Performance
Globally, three distinctive letters embody automotive high performance, exclusivity and dynamic driving pleasure and bring passion to an already desirable brand – Mercedes AMG. Although AMG was formally founded in 1967, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher (the G comes from Aufrecht’s birthplace Grossaspach) were two former Mercedes engineers that had already forged a reputation […]
Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe – Lean on me
Construction of the Bell Tower in the town of Pisa Italy started in 1173 and (due to wars) took 199 years to build – completed in 1372. The tower’s ‘lean’ was essentially there from the start due to genius builders deciding that soft ground was far easier to dig through and build on. But as […]
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Coupe – Hard 8
The game Hazard was invented in Britain around 2000 years ago. It’s a game where gamblers bet on the outcome of the ‘Dice’ (one of its other names) roll. It’s a simple enough game and as it requires very little in terms of equipment, it can be played virtually anywhere. It is believed that when […]
