My full coverage from today’s Last Anti-ULEZ Expansion Protest (27th April 2024), ahead of the Mayoral Elections happening this Thursday (2nd May 2024).

Check out my coverage of last weekend’s spectacular Petrolheadonism Underground Wembley 2024 (the second event held there). We take a walkaround, meet up with show-goers, talk to a man about a Cobra, catch-up with a BMW fan whose E36 was stolen and find out why Helen is painting directly onto a new Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato.
