This is a record. Twelve beautiful British inches of plastic with some words and music between the grooves. I found it in a charity shop unloved and unremarked and it looks like it has never been played. A shame as the adverts are amusing little ear worms of fun and frivolity. The great thing is

BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe Review – Slick and Quick, But Worth £55k? This compact 2025 BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe has more horsepower than the 1992 E36 BMW M3. So does that make it a bona fide junior ‘M’ car? With the keys to the turbocharged four-door in my hands and the Hill Route []

Hyundai Inster Review – Small EV, Big Personality Sometimes a car doesn’t need to scream to make a statement. It just needs to show up with a cheeky grin, a bit of charm, and enough clever thinking to stand out in a sea of lookalike electric boxes. That’s precisely what the new Inster does. It’s

What am I furious about this week? At least it isn’t an electricity car for once. My basic beef is why can’t they leave the Issigonis original alone.

Did you know and every time you go for a drive, you are driving through a wall? Not a physical wall but rather a ‘wall of air.’ The faster you go, the more that wall pushes against the front of your car to slow you down. We do not often think about ‘air’ that much

Here is the thing, I wasn’t going to get myself all agitated about the launch of a new electricity car. What’s the point? It is what it is, heavy and rather pointless. However it was the manner of this particular vehicle launch which annoyed me the most and the way in which it was conducted.
