I Wish I Was James Bond…

As a kid, James Bond is probably the coolest thing in the world. A spy who travels the world, has access to unlimited gadgets and drives some of the world’s most expensive cars? I’ll be honest, even now that sounds pretty cool. But for most of us, James Bond remains a character on the screen ... Read More

I’ve Told You A Million Times Not To Exaggerate…

The proclaimers once famously sang that they’d walk 500 miles (and then 500 more) – and that’s a fair walk, right? But 500 miles is just a drop in the ocean compared with a million kilometres. That’s 621,371 miles if you were wondering. An entirely unfathomable distance… and it’s also the length of the warranty ... Read More

When One Engine Just Isn’t Enough

  There are some vehicles that encapsulate a place and time perfectly. Think vespas in the little side streets of Rome, a Ford Mustang in 1970s rural America, or a Citroën 2CV in 1950s France.  We could add plenty more to the list – Dodge Rams in the US in the 2000s, a Mini Cooper ... Read More

Yellow Submarines, Del Boy And A Rubber Duck…

The colour yellow is pretty iconic when it comes to vehicles. I’m instantly thinking of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine, Del Boy Trotter’s Reliant Regal, and Bumblebee from The Transformers. I could go on all day, but you get the point! So, when there was a poll to name a new official car colour for Volkswagen, ... Read More

Up, Up And Away…

 At this time of year, magical vehicles are to be expected… But when the particular brand of magic is less Santa’s sleigh and more lifting a 4x4, you might just raise an eyebrow. Of course, once upon a time lifting a car and relocating it to a new parking spot was a practical joke you ... Read More

Honk If You… Believe In Free Speech?

Head to any major city centre, find a busy roundabout and you’ll hear the familiar noise of hundreds of motorists furiously beeping their horns at each other. Like an orchestra made-up entirely of cars, vans, and HGVs. Beeping your horn is the traditional warning sign that another driver’s doing something dangerous or that you’re heading ... Read More
