• Too much power to be fun 23 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  Having a wee shot of a friends Golf R the other day got me thinking, why are today’s hot hatches not as much fun as those built in the 80’s and 90’s? Am I wearing rose tinted specs or is it true that too much power, too much refinement and too much safety gear has diluted the appeal? I’ve driven

• Writing about motoring 5 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I`m having trouble thinking of a single new topic now - not really writers block, but more burnout on the subject. Perhaps it`s better if you`re more into debating. I was never really into that - it was more about attempts to create `stand alone content` - to generate a little good feeling. Mostly
• Chrysler PT Cruiser (2000 - ) - Parts not exactly free... 28 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Had to abort a trip to Sussex last Sunday at Roehampton Vale, where I became very aware of a dragging brake. In the petrol station there, the o/s front wheel was nearly too hot to touch. The AA sent a local proxy with a get-you-home truck which got us back here. On Monday took the car to my fine
