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, […]
Unstoppable Force – An Outback experience with Mike Horn and Mercedes
An amazing Mercedes experience in Australia Mike Horn has circumnavigated the globe more times than a NASA satellite. He’s climbed to the top of numerous 8,000+ metre peaks (without oxygen), walked unassisted to both Poles and all the way around the North one, swam the Amazon, played with sharks and piranhas and even had a […]
Isuzu MU-X review – A Sense of Freedom
Since driving around the Isuzu off-road course at Fieldays earlier this year, both myself and my family were keen to get some additional time with their MU-X SUV. I liked its capability, the wife liked its 7 seat versatility and my son liked the drop down 10.2” screen with DVD player – evidently it ticked […]
Honda CR-V review – Party Greatcrasher.
As a parent, kids parties are fraught with danger. The venue itself is always a complete mission, I mean where is the best place to entertain a dozen children for a couple of hours and also (apparently) impress the other parents? Plus, you need to be quick, popular spots need to be booked several months […]
Mazda2 Review – 7 Year Itch
A seven year period seems to be one of great relevance. For example, my son has just turned seven and appears to know EVERYTHING, You get 7 years bad luck should you break a mirror, a dog ages 7 years to 1 human year, then of course there is that 7 year itch, not just […]
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 […]
Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD review – Jeepers it’s Mighty
When I started to write this review I assumed that it would be more of a car/weather match. You see, my friends at Jeep NZ kindly loaned me the Jeep Grand Cherokee during a particular Icy snap that Auckland had been part of (yes I know it was nothing like South Island weather) and hopping […]
Holden Astra Sedan first drive – From Whoa to go
Deep in the heart of Henderson is Whoa Studios. Home of the Doods (not the Dobbin kind), it’s a highly interactive working studio that offers live entertainment, filming, great food, a kid’s playground and according to them; ‘millions of smiles’ – I’ll be the best judge of that thank you very much! On the surface, […]
Mazda CX-5 Review – Red, White and Blue
Now I’m not going to open the NZ flag debate again, (there has been far too much spent in terms of time and money on that) but what I will say is that our current Union Jack/Southern Cross one is in good company – most certainly when it comes to the colours. There are 192 […]
Ford SUV Review – the Great Escape
I recently read a list of ‘10 most re-watchable movies’ and as usual I basically disagreed with most of it. It consisted of things like the Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz and Lord of the Rings (aka 10 hours of my life I’ll never get back) but it did have a couple that […]
