I do like a nice little Fiat 500.....but I can't eat a whole one! Unlike Norfolk ditches, as this one seems to have consumed this hapless Fiat. Ouch! Spotted on my dog walk a couple of miles from home this afternoon.

At just over 3.2 tonnes it makes my Bentayga look a positive lightweight and the BWW i3 is 2 tonnes less:eek...

I noticed that somebody has made a very poor attempt to turn our local pub into a drive-thru over the weekend:eek::confused:

Has the world gone mad? Or is this an exclusive build for our own Mr Dazzler?:dk...

ranked-largest-engine-made-every-major-car-company-0 Mercedes is close to top of the league, but surprisingly out 'cubed' by both Renault and Peugeot! I was surprised to find fellow French manufacturer Citroen, was plumb last...there are a few surprises in the list.

I have calculated that I spend less than 0.5% of my time in front of my house.... and yet it seems that Google have managed to catch me on the last two passes of street view :eek: In 2021 I was cleaning my A8 with help from my Border Collie, then in 2023 as I returned from holiday and was...

What car would you consider the most comfortable on sale? What is the most comfortable car on sale? I have to admit the results of Autocar's appraisals surprised me!

Does £115M seem a little rich? https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-cars/most-expensive-cars-ever-sold

I know wiper blade are very boring and mundane right up until the time they come to your attention because they are not working perfectly. I want to never notice mine. They should be silent, judder free, smooth, smear free and give a perfect clean. I have had to change the blades on almost every...

An E Class made an appearance on my drive this week. It was only a rental car with my visiting sister from Australia. Her name is Shelagh, and honestly, I'm not making this up! But this wasn't the only relative newcomer on the drive this week. My son's brand new designed and build cargo bike...

Having had a milestone birthday this week, I thought it was time to do a quick resume of what I have driven in the last 53 years. It turns out that about 2 million miles is the answer! It seems I have owned 40 different cars and had the long-term use of 31 company ones. I have clocked up just...

If I am going somewhere new, I find Google Street View is useful to pinpoint my exact destination prior to a journey. It saves people becoming inpatient in a queue behind a very slow moving car looking for door numbers or similar. I'm sure we have all looked up our own address and found you can...

After almost 5 months, I drove out of the county yesterday on a 200 mile round trip. With only a few hundred local miles so far this year it was good to be back to a decent journey for someone who has been used to doing up to 30k miles a year. I did notice I was somewhat 'rusty'. Both my...

STC? Just another TIA? (Three Initial Acronym!) Well no, it is one of the best simple solutions to tyre noise within the industry. The most predominant noise at speed in cars now is tyre and road noise. On the the new 'quiet' tarmac it is not so bad. On normal roads it is a constant annoyance...

....but it's only a long base sack barrow to assist with house moving. I'm up to box 85 this morning. Still, it sits nicely with by blue 'Bentley' ...which actually has many more features than the red Bentley I had use of back in 2014:)

Today, there is a good choice of cars you can buy that will do 200mph. Finding somewhere with the space required to do this legally is much more difficult. Tonight’s Top Gear features the very same car which I was the first to drive at 200mph. It’s one of my old development XJ220s (004) from...

My wife pointed out that I seemed to have bought at least half a dozen cars since I last bought a coat! Of course man logic kicks in and my reply was that I didn't need a coat in the car, and anyway, I have a whole stack of quality ex-team gear coats for dog walking.... How can you tell you're...
