Why Did The Office Chair Cross The Road?

What do you do when an office chair flies through the sky in the middle of the motorway? If it feels like you’re waiting for the punchline, I don’t blame you. But it’s a bizarre question that you probably never think you’ve had to answer… until you do. And that’s exactly the situation a family ... Read More

Don’t Have A Cow, Man

There’s nothing quite like the chaos of animals out on the road. I’m thinking of sheep finding their way out of a farmer’s field, cows taking a nap on a country lane and a bull having a ride in the passenger seat. Okay, that last one’s probably the odd one out… But that’s exactly what ... Read More

Where’s the locking wheel nut again?

If you want a job doing properly, you best do it yourself. Or at least how the old saying goes… and sometimes it’s true, too. But when it comes to vehicles, we’re all a bit more hands-off than we used to be. There’s probably a good reason for it – more than one, in fact. ... Read More

Ever heard of a 23-seater car?

When it comes to cars, we’re used to the standard variations. I’m talking about hatchbacks, SUVs, 4x4s, estates, coupes, 4 seaters, 5 seaters, 7 seaters and a few other variations. Of course, there’s always the occasional unusual vehicle like the three-wheeled Robin Reliant, but generally we’re used to what we know. So, what if I ... Read More

It’s Not Quite James Bond…

When I think of cars on water, my mind immediately goes to James Bond. Of course, the Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me way back in 1977 was a futuristic vision that’s not likely to come to fruition any time soon… But amphibious vehicles ARE a thing – as long as you’re willing ... Read More

I’m Just Taking The Car For A Quick Bath

Whatever time of year, washing the car is an essential task. And if you and your fleet do any mileage on the motorway, you’ll know just how quickly a sparkly clean vehicle can become in need of yet another wash. But a bath for a vehicle is a slightly different proposition. I know what you’re ... Read More

More Vehicles Than People?!

Famously, there are more sheep than people in Wales – which highlights just how much countryside and farmland there is in the country… But a country where there are more CARS than people?! Well, there’s only one and it’s the tiny landlocked country of San Marino. If you’re wondering whether that’s a good or bad ... Read More

Sorry officer, I’m late for my wedding…

Speeding is something we all witness every day. Whether it’s someone flying past in the outside lane of the M40, a car cruising down a residential street at 45mph or someone itching to get past you on a dual carriageway. But most of the time people don’t have much excuse… Except for a recent case ... Read More

The world’s biggest speeding fine?

It goes without saying that speeding is bad – nobody needs to be told that! But it doesn’t always mean you don’t get caught out, whether it’s an area changing from a 40mph to a 30mph zone or even a smart motorway changing the speed at the next junction. So, you’d hope that you wouldn’t ... Read More

Duels At Sundown, Saloons, And A Runaway Bull

A furrowed brow, a strong Stetson, cowboy boots and a stern look. That’s what I associate with Westerns, anyway – usually Clint Eastwood sauntering around the wild west and stopping by a few saloons on the way. But it’s very much a fantasy portrayed in movies, rather than real life… right? Well, passengers in Detroit, ... Read More
