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 […]
It Rocks (without the Roll) – Mercedes GLE 63S
Mercedes-AMG GLE 63S review New Zealand Most popular songs work to a very similar format, verse, chorus, verse, chorus – repeat until story told (ideally) and then find a way for it to end. Yes this is very much simplifying the process and of course it needs to have things like an amazing soundtrack/catchy tune […]
Making Tracks – Alltracks in fact
Volkswagen Alltrack review New Zealand With the clocks going back an hour and temperatures dropping a few degrees it’s hard not to notice that Winter is in its way. Now normally this would be a great excuse to stock up on your favorite Merlot and start hunting down comfort foods and soups. The TV becomes […]
A? Or should I say AY? Audi A4
Audi A4 review New Zealand I’m not a big lover of surprises, I don’t ‘hate’ them (which is the way I thought about starting this off) but over the years I have realized that most surprises air towards the negative. This doesn’t make me a pessimist, I’m more of a realist – the glass may […]
Bruce Wayne wears Valcona – Audi RS7
Audi RS7 review New Zealand Bruce Wayne is a millionaire businessman that lives in a mansion on the outskirts of Gotham City. He has a butler that tends to his every wish, he is always well garbed, he is smart, smooth and has a bit of a wit about him. Of course we all know […]
Track day with the new Porsche 911
New Zealand track day with Porsche The 911 first rolled off the production line in 1963. Originally numbered 901 (but had to change do to another car brand laying claim to having a zero in its name) it was a more powerful replacement to the 356. This 2+2 sports car had a 1991cc flat 6 […]
‘Daddy, you’ve got Iron Man’s car!’ Audi R8Plus
Audi R8Plus review New Zealand My son squealed as I pulled up on our driveway. Yes indeed, I was behind the wheel of Tony Stark’s ride of choice the Audi R8. But not your normal R8 (if there is such a thing), I was driving the new R8 V10 Plus! Don’t panic, I’m not going […]
Ferrari 488GTB Review – My Happy Place
Ferrari 488GTB Review New Zealand People go to great lengths to find a place that makes them happy. It could be a quiet spot away from everyone else or it maybe in the thick of things in Vegas; it may even be grabbing a glass of fine wine or a cup of earl gray while […]
