Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Review – It’s eerily good.
Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Review New Zealand When Ghostbusters hit the silver screen back in 1984 it began a franchise of near Star Wars proportions – well it seemed that at the time anyway. The supernatural comedy, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis (they starred in it too) was essentially about three unconventional parapsychologists […]
Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge Review – Going Boldly…
Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge Review UK Being handed the keys to a Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge is one thing, however, receiving them at their custom-designed headquarters in Goodwood England is another thing altogether. Having been chauffeur-driven to the establishment, had coffee in the Charles Rolls study, received a personal unveiling of the new Phantom and […]
BMW M2 Review – 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 them, […]
Mini Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 review – Short Circuit
Mini Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 review New Zealand Electricity is a funny old thing. Alternating and Direct, (AC/DC), High and low voltage, Big and small amp’s, clean and dirty (in terms of resource)… One thing is for sure, in my humble opinion; it’s lazy – always looking for the path of least resistance and […]
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, […]
Lexus LC500 Review – Second date.
Lexus LC 500 Review New Zealand First dates can be a nightmare – not the date itself (that’s a different story), I’m talking more about the pressure that surrounds it. It doesn’t help that the date is shrouded in anticipation (I assume from both sides) but if you are the person organising it, trying to […]
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 […]
BMW 530e Sedan Review – Circuit City
BMW 530e Sedan Review New Zealand Several years ago, you’d be hard pushed to go to any major American city and not stumble upon a Circuit City. Founded in 1949 by Samuel Wurtzal, Circuit City went on to become an incredibly popular electronic superstore of the 1970’s and beyond. It was THE place to go […]
The Mazda SKI-ACTIV Experience
Mazda on Ice New Zealand I remember vividly the first time I actually put skis on and hit (quite literally) the snow. I was in my late teens and full of bravado, I headed to the top of the chairlift, strapped on two planks of wood and shot down the slope – straight into a […]
