A Bobcat On The Loose…

A Bobcat On The Loose…

When you’re heading home for the evening, the last thing you expect is to be met face-to-face with a bobcat. I should clarify… I mean the construction vehicle that’s essentially a loader or a large forklift and not a wild animal. But in a way, that’s worse. Well, that’s precisely what happened in Pennsylvania, USA, ... Read More
 
You’re only as old as you feel

You’re only as old as you feel

As the old saying goes, you’re only as old as you feel… Some mornings that might be a bit older than others, but you get the point. Now, when it comes to driving, age is pretty important. You can only get your licence once you’re 17 and then there’s a whole load of age restrictions ... Read More
 
Flintstones, Meet The Flintstones…

Flintstones, Meet The Flintstones…

Fred Flintstone drove one of the most iconic cars of all time. Well, okay, drove might not strictly be the right term for it… and iconic might be stretching it a bit given it’s a cartoon.  BUT as soon as you mention Fred’s car, people know exactly what you’re talking about.  It’s essentially a grown-up ...

Gone In 0.956 Seconds…

Gone In 0.956 Seconds…

 Speed is an impressive feat, whether you’re looking at Usain Bolt’s 100m World Record, Concord breaking the sound barrier or the 763mph land speed record that’s stood for 26 years. And EVs are now joining the party. Because a team of Swiss students have pulled off an engineering feat that is incredibly cool, to say ... Read More
 
Why Did The Office Chair Cross The Road?

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

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
 
Ever heard of a 23-seater car?

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…

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
