Approaching the start of any January, one must always be optimistic about the outlook ahead. It’s vital to inwardly, discreetly, whisper to oneself, with some forceful conviction: ‘THIS is going to be my year.’ In December 2021, winding up what actually turned out be a fantastic, fruitful and fun month, there was undoubtedly more confidence than usual in that forward-looking affirmation for 2022.

The later half of 2022 has seen my YouTube channel surge, with some top performaning videos and rapidly increasing subscriber numbers. Followers remain pretty steady on Instagram, but I’ve also seen substantial interaction on TikTok, more in terms of views than overall follower count. In general, it’s all been very positive, though in the fiercely competitive digital world numbers rule! Only Facebook continues to disappoint, though I see that as a general trend in social media. Here’s my top performing posts of 2022.
2 Guys, a 1989 BMW E30, and Controversy in Conversation – this is the Ulimate Podcast Machine (and the Ultimate Driving Machine). Why has Reza gone off Mercedes after a lifetime of loyalty, and has Shahzad left his balls at home? Was it ever okay to race around London? Is it okay to smoke in cars? Don’t watch this if you’re easily offended! Hilarious though!

We end up chatting about: Why as parents, we should be more supportive of our kids’ creative aspirations; How the automotive journalism industry has evolved; What it’s REALLY like to be a motoring journalist, behind the scenes; What does it take to succeed in the motoring journalism space; PLUS, we have our first ever, “Star on a very reasonably priced sofa” quiz. How many questions do I get right in 3 minutes? 😲🤦🏽♂️ Watch now to find out.
Did I win? Check out my Vlog from the Newspress Live Event and 2022 Automotive Media Industry Awards. I was shortlisted for the Best Video of 2021 category. Newspress said about me: “…knowledgeable and likeably geeky approach. He drifts between thoughtfully produced and erratically esoteric!” Went up there in my 1989 BMW E30 325i SE two-door coupe – and that became something of an adventure itself!

Check out this hilarious Vlog by daughter Leena Sheikh (@Leena_Amani on Instagram) behind-the-scenes while filming the Toyota Aygo X review (review coming soon – makes sure you subscribe and switch on notifications!). Son Junaid (https://www.instagram.com/junji4real/) was filming the video. You can see the total lack of respect for poor dad in action, the utter Micky-taking and frankly my exasperation when things don’t go to plan. Hope you enjoy this video – please do like, comment, and share! #BCGToyotaAygoX

18 Jun 2022 – Ford Mustang Long Term Test – Report 7 – FINAL REPORT!
The Ford Mustang has left the building. Okay it was never actually IN the building, it was in the car park outside, and if you’ve recognised that I’ve borrowed that from the famous line ‘Elvis has left the building’ it is of course, very deliberate. Because the gaping whole it’s left in its wake, does indeed feel like space vacated by the presence of a true rock star. Big, brash, the great sounds it made, the sheer magnetism and the charisma of the Mustang, are perfect analogies to the King of Rock and Roll.
