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

A Missing Forklift, A Police Chase, And One Big Question

For any fleet owner, keeping track of your vehicles is a given. Knowing who’s driving which vehicle, what route they’re on, when they need servicing and when they’re due for replacement is all pretty essential. But then again, you probably don’t expect a 12-year-old to commandeer one, do you? That’s precisely what happened in Ann ... Read More

What Am I Supposed To Run This On… Thin Air?

It might sound like a sarcastic response to someone presenting you with a car with no fuel or a flat battery… But thin air might just be the next big thing in fuel technology. Environmental concerns have driven the search for alternative fuels for more years than I’d care to count and while it might ... Read More

Steering Wheel Bling’s A Big No-No, Apparently

Car customisation is a huge business. For some people, making their vehicles uniquely theirs is important, whether that’s to take to car meets, show off to their friends or just because they can. It might be tinted windows, new spoilers, customised alloy wheels, low riders, or a custom paint job. Or apparently, it might be ... Read More

A High-Octane… Wedding?

Some things go together seamlessly – fish and chips, Ant and Dec, pumpkins and Halloween. But others are a less conventional marriage. And in this case, it’s literally a marriage in an incredibly unconventional location AND situation. Because a couple got married at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in a 10-second pitstop at a recent ...

Fancy A Working Pizza Oven In Your Boot?

When it comes to fleets, our minds often go to the more obvious examples. Haulage, logistics, food and consumables. But there’s a type of fleet that’s always on the move and thanks to various apps, always busy: The takeaway delivery vehicle. And there’s none more iconic than the pizza delivery car, right? I’m thinking ... Read More

A Bobcat On The Loose…

When you’re heading home for the evening, the last thing you expect is to be met face-to-face with a bobcat. I should clarify… I mean the construction vehicle that’s essentially a loader or a large forklift and not a wild animal. But in a way, that’s worse. Well, that’s precisely what happened in Pennsylvania, USA, ... Read More

You’re only as old as you feel

As the old saying goes, you’re only as old as you feel… Some mornings that might be a bit older than others, but you get the point. Now, when it comes to driving, age is pretty important. You can only get your licence once you’re 17 and then there’s a whole load of age restrictions ... Read More

Flintstones, Meet The Flintstones…

Fred Flintstone drove one of the most iconic cars of all time. Well, okay, drove might not strictly be the right term for it… and iconic might be stretching it a bit given it’s a cartoon. BUT as soon as you mention Fred’s car, people know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s essentially a grown-up ... Read More

Gone In 0.956 Seconds…

Speed is an impressive feat, whether you’re looking at Usain Bolt’s 100m World Record, Concord breaking the sound barrier or the 763mph land speed record that’s stood for 26 years. And EVs are now joining the party. Because a team of Swiss students have pulled off an engineering feat that is incredibly cool, to say ... Read More
