ROADTEST: Litchfield Audi RS6

17 Nov , 2014  

DSC_0360_E

Less Is More… Of all Ingolstadt’s ‘sensible’ products, the RS6 packs one of the mightiest punches straight from the showroom floor. But that’s still not enough for some people. I was lucky enough to  try the latest conversion package from Litchfield – which proves that when it comes to tuning one of the world’s greatest […]

Terzo Big

Over the years, Subaru UK has created some of the most iconic – and desirable – special edition Impreza and WRX models that the world has ever seen. Having worked as both a main dealer and a specialist, I have been fortunate enough to sell most of them, too! Always tuned in to what the […]

Project 328 Part 2

13 Nov , 2014

It begins! Having found an Ebay ‘bargain’ in my last article, in the intervening period, I have been to pick it up. But was it an over-described, over-priced wreck? Or shock of shocks, did someone actually describe a car accurately for once? You know how it is, you sit on Ebay, the seconds counting down, […]

So I may have been on Ebay recently… As Britney Spears once profoundly stated, ‘Oops, I did it again..’ You know how it goes, whilst cogitating and deliberating on what should be done next on my other BMWs,  you take a little sneak onto Ebay and narrow the search a little. We’ve all done it; […]

Offered the chance to join Team BILSTEIN at the fabled Destination Nurburgring event earlier in the year, how could I say no? Put simply.. I couldn’t! Time to see what my old Golf GTI race car could really do on the world’s toughest circuit. The Nurburgring is deserved of its iconic status. It is a […]

So I have a rather nice Subaru BRZ that the lovely people at Subaru UK are letting me play with. As well as writing about it in Banzai magazine I will be sharing it up here too. I hope you enjoy it. It’s already got a few choice mods on… But I hope to add […]

Time to start a new project car – using the Subaru UK BRZ I have been developing for the last 12 months.. We’re very lucky in this job… we get to experience, drive and feature some absolutely corking motors. All of them leave an impression in one way or another, but occasionally, you come across […]

SHINE ON; AUTOGLYM shines the 99!

16 Oct , 2014  

DSC_0967

Storage; something that many of us have to sort for our lesser-used classics. But how do you go about re-commissioning a car that’s been under a cover or left in a corner for longer than you’d like? Having abandoned my beloved Saab 99 in a draughty barn for over two years, I finally got round […]

DSC_7026

With the most eclectic guest list on the UK show-scene, the Forge Motorsport Action Day lived up to its reputation as being the most inclusive of summer shows. There can’t be many track and show events where this variety of machinery gets shown off both on and off the circuit! The weather was mercifully dry […]

ROADTEST: STaSIS S5 European Motorsport Challenge Edition

17 Jul , 2013  

DSC_0941

Fancy a bit of Supercar baiting, but don’t want to look too ostentatious in the process? Then the latest STaSIS “European Motorsport Challenge Edition” may very well be what you need. Over 400 thoroughbred horses in a svelte, yet subtle, wrapper ought to do it… People who buy really fast cars, generally speaking, can be […]
