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

Sustainability is on everyone’s mind these days. Whether it’s moving away from petrol and diesel vehicles to EVs, reducing your carbon footprint, or repurposing things to avoid sending them to landfill. Well, how about reusable shopping bags made from airbags? That’s exactly what Japanese car manufacturer Subaru is doing in a bid to reduce waste ... Read More
 
Batteries Not Included

Batteries Not Included

Picture the scene… It’s Christmas morning, and you head down to watch your kids unwrap various presents, only to be greeted by the most terrifying words to any parent: Batteries not included. Once upon a time, it seemed that the entire world ran on double-A batteries and recently some car enthusiasts have taken that to ... Read More
