A packed month of veteran cars, EV scandals, Budget shocks, iconic reviews and a few gloriously unhinged podcasts
Winter’s coming. But activity ramped up. Events and stories came at me like a runaway HGV – overwhelming, yes, but also wildly entertaining if you’re into that sort of thing. One moment I was on Pall Mall admiring 120-year-old machines and chatting with Steve Berry; the next I was at the NEC drowning in classic temptation. And in between, I was unpacking everything from caffeine-fuelled driving dangers to copycat-turned-king Chinese car brands, New York’s anti-car Mayor, and a UK Budget that essentially confirmed: “The end of driving is nigh.”
We also paid tribute to a giant of automotive media, Quentin Willson, contemplated the joys and indignities of ageing, and even pondered urinal etiquette and how Batman goes to the loo on the podcasts. I tested a few cars too – but the review of the year was hands-down Toyota UK’s immaculate AE86, the iconic Hachi-Roku.
If you blinked, you’ll have missed half of it. So here’s the complete bumper-sized November round-up – the stories, the scandals, the classics, the chaos, and everything in between.
November really was a full-throttle month – classics, chaos, controversies and a few cracking drives in between. If you enjoyed this round-up, give it a like, drop a comment, or share it with someone who still believes cars make life better. And as always, alongside my BrownCarGuy adventures, I’m available on a freelance basis for writing, videos, podcasts, event hosting and automotive content of all kinds. Thanks for reading – let’s see what December throws at us.
