Ladies and gentlemen! Can’t I please get a big hooray for researchers of the Eindhoven University of Technology in my home sweet home?! Why? Because they’ve figured out to way to make a car coating that means you’ll never have […]
Have you ever had a car stolen? If so, how long did it take you to forget about it and get what Oprah Winfrey would call “closure”? I have been lucky enough never to have had a vehicle stolen. Hold […]
Alfa’s sporting mini, the Mito, is now available in the award-winning Twinair engine technology. The 875cc twin-cylinder 85hp turbo engine with electro-hydraulic valve control technology delivers 67.3mpg. That’s quite impressive and makes the Mito the cleanest and most economical car […]
The current Seat Leon never appealed to me one bit. I’m of the opinion that lines and design elements need to have a ‘reason’ and not be (seemingly) randomly placed. In the Leon there was only one thing that completely […]

Recent results of traffic congestion studies made me almost drop my ice cream in astonishment. The frozen treat only remained intact thanks to my cat like reflexes where desserts are concerned. I always knew that Brits have it tough with […]
There’s a good reason why Bentley have called their new Continental model the Speed – it will reach 205mph. It’s the firm’s fastest production model ever and will make its international debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Potential buyers […]
If you wanted a car capable of achieving bullet speeds in the compact executive segment, you used to have a very limited choice. That hasn’t actually changed. Most people in the market for a fast executive car would probably think […]
Then there’s a man in Poland just like you! This man – his name is unknown to me – owns a couple of classic Volvo’s, but apparently these do not manage to fully satisfy his Volvo Love. The man has […]
I have never driven a dream car. No one has ever paid for me to go on an experience day at Silverstone (or wherever they hold them), I have never test driven a Ferrari and I have never even been […]
