I’ve been considering what to pick up for our east-coast Australia driving trip later this year. How you get there is almost as important as where you go, right? The latest thoughts, as documented in my 2013 Automotive Bucket List, were leaning towards a Porsche Boxster S. The early ones have reached the point of(…)
Hot on the heels of John Broder’s controversial Tesla Model S drive comes this road test going from LA to Vegas and back. It’s all on video and shot by Kelley Blue Book. If you want to watch it, here it is. It’s a well made video and will be 14 minutes well spent. If(…)
The Saab Spirit Lives On exhibition at the Simeone Automotive Museum got underway over the weekend. This exhibition features cars owned by Saab collector Bill Jacobson, from Delaware. Bill’s owned a number of these cars for a considerable time, however he also picked up a number of cars sold from the Heritage Collection following Saab’s(…)
Is there a correlation between Bond Film ticket sales and Bond Cars? This infographic seeks to draw a line between the two. Dubious results, at best.

I’m so happy today for the good fortune of a mate of mine. It’s Thursday here in Australia but for most of today it’s been Wednesday in Sweden. Auto Motor and Sport magazines have been arriving in subscriber’s mailboxes around Sweden and in this new edition is an article by Tom Ryner, a good mate(…)
Because I like to have a record of Alfa Romeo stuff….. On one level, this is complete and utter BS, the type of show car that infuriates people because it’s achingly beautiful to look at and invites you to drive it. The only problem is that it can’t go anywhere. The Alfa Romeo Gloria concept(…)
The most interesting motor show of any given year – the Geneva Motor Show – is almost upon us. These are the cars from the debut list maintained by Just Auto that have got my motor running. Some are genuine interest and some are passing interest, but all have something interesting about them. Sorry Volvo,(…)
