Steaming straight into the work on my E36, I decided to go for the aesthetics first. Why are you not surprised? At least I have a good excuse this time.. Usually, when you buy a 15 year old car, there are a plethora of jobs and a mile-long snagging list to sort out before you […]
You know me…when it comes to tuning I like improvements from both ends of the spectrum. Some enhancements make the recipient vehicle work better… Others make it look better. Occasionally, you hit the holy grail and fit something that does both. But for me, whether it looks good, or works well, it’s all good! This […]
It’s nice to have an auto ‘box on those long or traffic-heavy journeys, isn’t it? For those times when I’m in a manual – and really wish I wasn’t, I’m training the kids to do it all for me. It’s going well so far…
Are you sitting comfortably? If not, then this may be the perfect tale for you. Family-run Cobra Seats is one firm that proudly flies the flag for British design and manufacturing, and can trace its impressive roots back to one of the coolest cars to have ever rolled out of the UK. Seeing as my […]
I have read a lot of road tests on this car, seen a lot of forum posts and spent a lot of miles in it. Therefore, I think it’s fair to say, for those who think the BRZ/GT86 doesn’t pack enough tech or power, you either haven’t driven it for long enough – or you’ve […]

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 […]
Just a tiny glimpse of what’s in store for Episode 1… In this episode we went up to see the superbly knowledgeable Dougal at Longstone Tyres. If you own anything, weird, retro, vintage or rare, chances are, he has the tyre for it on the shelf. A top bloke who deserves his own show, I […]
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 […]

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 […]
