Time to get moo-ving

Delays are a part of driving. Whether it’s rush hour, traffic jams, roadworks, or diversions, we’ve come to expect them as a natural part of everyday driving. But sometimes the reason for a delay’s not one that many people would believe… unless you capture it on camera. Like a runaway cow. Yep, after a herd ... Read More

A cleaner (but smellier) alternative to petrol?

We're not usually fans of toilet humour but we suppose the current cost of fuel means this is no laughing matter… With no sign that the record-high prices might come down any time soon, it’s hardly surprising that people are looking for alternative ways to fuel their vehicles. And no, I’m not talking about electricity or anything ... Read More

Lightning never strikes twice…

The old saying goes that lightning never strikes the same place twice. Of course, we know that’s not true – there’s enough evidence to prove otherwise. The other thing we know is that if lightning strikes a car going at exactly 88mph, you can travel back in time. Well, you can in Back to the ... Read More

One for the Mystery Gang…

When something mysterious happens, you want the folks in the Mystery Gang on hand to solve it. But when it came to the case of the missing Red Ford Mustang back in 1992, Scooby-Doo and his pals were otherwise occupied, so the mystery went unsolved. Until, incredibly, the 1966 classic car turned up 20 ... Read More

Everything good comes in threes…

They say that everything comes in threes – good, bad AND ugly. But when it comes to cars, the three-wheeler is a thing of the past… right? Well, there’s still a few knocking about but they’re increasingly rare. So, when news broke that Nigel Mansell was selling his three-wheeled iC Modula M89, we were ... Read More

A Car Wash… With A Difference

There are some things in life that I really don’t enjoy doing, but they’re a necessity. Doing the weekly food shop, vacuuming the house, and the big one – washing the car (x 50 if you're managing a fleet). However, a solution may have emerged – washing your car while driving. In what can only ... Read More

The lights are on but nobody’s home

Keeping the roads safe for everyone is a pretty important job. When someone is speeding, driving erratically, driving without insurance, or simply doesn’t realise that their brake lights are out, it’s up to the police to intervene. And that’s exactly what they did in California, in a routine stop. Except there was nobody in the ... Read More

The streets are paved with… nappies?

The old saying goes that the streets are paved with gold, which means there’s an opportunity to be had… But what if they’re paved with nappies? Joking aside, one hundred thousand nappies have helped to pave a road in Wales. Yep, they’ve been recycled and melted into the road mix thanks to an innovative ... Read More

Back to the Future… again?

When I think about the most iconic cars, my mind instantly turns to Hollywood. Instantly, I think of James Bond’s classic Aston Martin DB5, Starsky and Hutch’s Ford Gran Torino, and Ferris Bueller’s Ferrari California Spyder. But there’s one that stands out above all others – Doc Brown’s DeLorean DMC 12. And while there ... Read More

Apple scented exhaust fumes?

We associate A LOT of smells with cars, whether that’s the new car smell, petrol, or your favourite air freshener. But that’s been taken to a whole new level… Because you can now get your hands on fuel fragrances. Yep, if you’re fed up with those strong exhaust fumes, you can simply replace them with ...
