Poster Child of the future – BMW I8
BMW I8 review New Zealand I can’t help but feel a hint of sadness for the kids of today. When I was growing up; my Corgi diecast cars and the posters that adorned my bedroom walls were nearly all gas guzzling V8 American or European supercars. They made grunty noises and as I pushed the […]
Grand Designs – BMW 420i Gran Coupe
BMW 420i Gran Coupe review New Zealand There is a TV program that goes out of its way to show you some of the most elaborate, intricate and elegant building designs on the planet. It’s a place for people to not only conjure up some illustrious and far-fetched (they call it unique) projects but to […]
Not for Vampires – DS 4 Crossback
DS 4 Crossback review New Zealand Vampire folklore would have you believe that these beings of our nightmares are in fact real and that all over the world there are pockets of un-dead people with fangs that ‘want to suck your blood.’ Books, TV, Movies and even (on the odd occasion) News, will recant tales […]
One man in a car park – Yamaha MT-03
Yamaha MT-03 review New Zealand There is something very cool about having a motorbike in your garage. For me it’s part of my childhood dream of having the car the bike and the boat. So when Yamaha began helping me on my journey of getting a bike licence it was obviously quite the thrill. In […]
Spot on – Lexus GS-F
Lexus GS-F review New Zealand On the mark, right on, on the mark, on the button, there are loads of terms that mean the same thing, basically when something is right or correct in my opinion it’s spot on. I have a small family, we’re pretty much middle of the road in financial terms (actually […]
Topless with a deep voice – Holden Cascada
Holden Cascada review New Zealand No I’m not talking about a scene from Hangover 2, I’m talking about my week behind the wheel of Holden’s new Cascada. As luck would have it (bad luck mainly) I managed to pick a week that provided record level rain downfall and gale force winds to secure a review […]
Le Chopper – DS5
DS5 review New Zealand Have you ever been on the inside of a helicopter and sat up front? The reason I ask is that memories of my last flight came flooding back the moment I sat in the driver’s seat of the new DS5. It’s more about the glass or the visibility than the three […]
The ‘i’s have it (or do they) – Peugeot 308
Peugeot 308 review New Zealand On any normal day the GTi version outstrips the GT option in terms of performance and overall sportiness. The Exterior design is easily recognizable and the GTi interior has modifications that separate them the rest. Like I said, that’s on any normal day. The Peugeot 308 have broken the mold […]
BMW M2 – 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 […]
W12 – Bentley Continental GT Speed
Bentley Continental GT Speed review New Zealand Growing up, there was literally nothing more quintessentially British to me than the BBC. Piped into our houses daily via cathode ray tube TV, the announcers spoke in the Queens English, the comedy was uniquely British (complete with canned laughter) and even world disasters felt somehow comforting when […]
