Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Review – It’s eerily good.
Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Review New Zealand When Ghostbusters hit the silver screen back in 1984 it began a franchise of near Star Wars proportions – well it seemed that at the time anyway. The supernatural comedy, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis (they starred in it too) was essentially about three unconventional parapsychologists […]
BMW M2 Review – A Vermicious Knid
BMW M2 Review New Zealand Vermicious knids are huge dark egg-shaped beings that live on the planet Vermes 184,270,000,000 miles away from earth and for some reason, they are the first things that came to mind when I drove BMW’s new M2 rocket ship. It’s obviously not their shape that made me think of them, […]
Mini Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 review – Short Circuit
Mini Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 review New Zealand Electricity is a funny old thing. Alternating and Direct, (AC/DC), High and low voltage, Big and small amp’s, clean and dirty (in terms of resource)… One thing is for sure, in my humble opinion; it’s lazy – always looking for the path of least resistance and […]
Mercedes-Benz GLC Review – A Very Classy Package
Mercedes-Benz GLC Review New Zealand Like many other New Zealanders, it’s around about now that I start thinking of my summer holidays. Where to go, where to stay, how to get there and what to do. There are so many options out there and to be perfectly honest even when we’ve agreed on a destination, […]
Lexus LC500 Review – Second date.
Lexus LC 500 Review New Zealand First dates can be a nightmare – not the date itself (that’s a different story), I’m talking more about the pressure that surrounds it. It doesn’t help that the date is shrouded in anticipation (I assume from both sides) but if you are the person organising it, trying to […]
BMW 530e Sedan Review – Circuit City
BMW 530e Sedan Review New Zealand Several years ago, you’d be hard pushed to go to any major American city and not stumble upon a Circuit City. Founded in 1949 by Samuel Wurtzal, Circuit City went on to become an incredibly popular electronic superstore of the 1970’s and beyond. It was THE place to go […]
That last ‘kin bolt!
24 hours of LeMons New Zealand Approaching our third 24 Hour LeMons event we thought we had it nailed. Our car, a pristine (cough) ’91 Toyota Celica with awesome pop-up headlights, had been given a bit of a once-over by our genius mechanic (he actually really is) and was even treated to a brand spanking […]
The Mazda SKI-ACTIV Experience
Mazda on Ice New Zealand I remember vividly the first time I actually put skis on and hit (quite literally) the snow. I was in my late teens and full of bravado, I headed to the top of the chairlift, strapped on two planks of wood and shot down the slope – straight into a […]
What happens when life gives you Lemons?
Actually, the title should read ‘what happens when you register for 24 Hours of LeMon’s’ but it’s not as catchy. As many of you car/racing nuts are probably aware, this weekend will be the 3rd 24 Hours of LeMon’s event for NZ and we (our team) will be there (Hampton Downs) with bells on – […]
Land Rover Experience – NZ
Last week I managed to get along to New Zealand’s Land Rover Experience – Yes I do know how lucky I am! The events have been held around the country and in my humble opinion, are the perfect way to showcase the capability and range of both Land Rover and Range Rover. I was invited […]
