I was in Hong Kong yesterday. They have three types of vehicles there. To understand this, some background info first. Hong Kong is a very wealthy place. It breathes decadence and has a ridiculously commercial mindset. You literally walk from […]
I didn’t want to do it, I really didn’t. My idea was to let a week go past without mentioning the price of petrol but I can’t. It seems that every day that goes by we hear more bad news […]
We’ve all done – got to the end of a long journey and wondered where the fuel has gone. And no you probably haven’t made a miscalculation because the published fuel economy figures which you use for the trip are […]
I can proudly proclaim that I have never been fined for speeding, illegal parking or even for using a bus lane in my car. It has been a close call a few times and a couple of times I genuinely […]
Ford would like to think that it’s new Kuga is achingly hip – but sadly it’s not. It is quite clever though. Like the class nerd who dons Next Directory clothes it’s still the same nerd underneath. However, the designers […]
One of the best looking, yet most underrated cars on the market today is the Renault Laguna Coupé. That’s the version of the Laguna that isn’t boring and screaming for a make-over completely new generation. Oh, that’s right, since late […]

I have never been to New York, so I haven’t seen the fleet of yellow cabs that driver around the city like ants on an ant heap. That’s pity, because these cabs are going to look different soon. Every day […]
I’m writing this from a small Caribbean island not far off the cost of Venezuela – Hugo Chavez would much like to get his hand on it, and the neighbouring islands, but this is a former Dutch colony and now […]
If you want a small hot hatch, a fast supermini, the outstanding offer on the market has been steadily growing in the last decade. It seems like the Renault Clio RS – and its predecessors tracing back to the Williams […]
It seems Brits like to think all Dutch are milk drinkers and that the whole country is stuffed with cows. Well guess what, it’s true! Nothing like a just-ham sandwich with a mug of milk and no matter where you […]
If you worry that your car falls apart on your commute to work then you possibly live in Scotland. Don’t worry, I am not being racist as I lived in Scotland for a number of years and even learned to […]
The Romans already said it, or at least it’s Latin: “de gustibus non disputandum est”. Means as much as “there’s no arguing about taste”. But if you ask me this is not so likely to apply to the replacement of […]
