Lexus RC 200 F Sport is Lexus to a T – a 200t
Lexus’s (or is it Lexi) vehicles seem to be more ‘Sculpted’ than manufactured. Their lines and curves have more of artistry about them than pure automotive design. Yes they have been formed with ‘aerodynamics’ in mind but you get the sense that their image is more spawned from a group of creative types on a […]
Toyota Corolla Hybrid – Endurance Pace
Without getting too philosophical, (provided your health stays in relatively good working order) Life is an Endurance event. You hopefully have a respectable amount of years on the planet, time to enjoy the seasons of change from child to youth, youth to adult and adult to retirement. You’ll own things, make friends, and maybe have […]

Special Delivery – The Mercedes Hilton

24 Hours Of LeMons – Squeezed Us In.
As we near the precipice of NZ’s inaugural 24 hours of LeMons, we decided to enter a car to the event. We have left it late and we’re hopelessly under-prepared but that is potentially part of the attraction. For those (few) of you that don’t know of the event, 24 hours of LeMons is an […]
Ram 2500 – Jacob’s ladder
Jacob’s ladder is a layman’s term to describe the connection between Earth and Heaven. The term relates to the biblical patriarch Jacob (from the book of Genesis) flight dream but has been used for everything from movies, books, flowers and an electrical device to (my favorite) a song by Huey Lewis and the News.
