Yamaha MT-03 Lessons – Positioning
As some of you are probably aware, I’m learning to ride a motorcycle and so far it’s been quite a journey. This weekend however my education took a giant leap forward and it’s all about positioning. Without getting too philosophical ‘positioning’ comes into our lives in so many ways ( we jostle for position at […]
Book By The Cover – The Kia Sportage
I was actually going to call this piece ‘throw the book at it’ because that’s what I think Kia have done with their new Sportage GT Line but I get the negative connotations, hence the new title which works just as well. You see for me, I have (historically) always thought that Kia’s have been […]
Spot removal – Honda Civic RS
Hailing from the forever sunny town of Swindon in the UK, I have to admit to having quite a soft spot for the Honda brand. Just on the outskirts of town Honda built a production facility that employed thousands (and therefore put money into our local economy), initiated apprentice schemes, assisted with Schools and colleges […]
Punching above its weight – Porsche 718 Boxster S

Spare the horses – Ford Mustang 2.3L
Ford Mustang 2.3L review New Zealand ‘Home James, and don’t spare the horses’ Most people know what it means – get us home as fast as you can and without regard to the horses (or nowadays horsepower) and many people use just the ‘home James’ abbreviation but I wonder how many of you have thought […]
Quality Street – Hyundai Elantra Elite
Hyundai Elantra Elite review New Zealand Among the plethora of treats we had our family home every Christmas was a large 8 sided tin of Quality Street.

Sun out, Fun out – Yamaha MT-03
Yamaha MT-03 review New Zealand I love my family, my friends; hell sometimes I even like my job BUT like most people; there are times when I just want my own ‘quiet’ time. I don’t ask for much, just a little peace and ‘me’ time in a world that seemingly demands my attention – home, […]
Anger Management – AMG A 45
Mercedes-AMG A45 review New Zealand Anger is a normal healthy response to the likes of threat or frustration and when used ‘constructively’ it can give you that little boost of energy needed to handle a multitude of situations.
