#BrownCarGuy – News, Views & Reviews!
Just completed working four-days at the British Motor Show, 17-20 August 2023 at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre. Here’s part 1 and 2 of my walk around videos (shot the first on Day 1, and the second on Day 3). Read my preview of the show here.
Here’s everything you need to know about the forthcoming British Motor Show including how to get discounted tickets. It’s not just a car show, it’s a live-action event with tons going on, things to see and do, celebs to meet and get selfies with, prizes, games… and just a fantastic fun day out for the whole family! From car football, to record-breaking stunts, supercars, classic cars and even the British Army parachuting in! And I’ll be there all four days! The Show is at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre 17-20 August (come see me hosting the VIP lounge in the morning and Tech Theatre for the rest of the day).
Coverage of Anti-ULEZ Expansion Protest at Trafalgar Square 5 August 2023, including interviews with Susan Hall, Conservative Mayoral Candidate and Alan Miller from Together Declaration, plus protestors, cars guys, and a climate scientist.
Check out my coverage of the amazing West London Classics Annual Show & Shine 2023 Car Show, held last weekend.

A taste of what’s to come at The British Motor Show next month – we had a go at Car Football with a host of TV and YouTube stars and Influencers including, Mike Brewer of Wheeler Dealers, Alex Kersen @AutoalexCars Curtis Pritchard @brostorquesupercars , Adam C @AdamC3046 , Scott of @Ratarossa , Sam Hard @Hardupgarage , plus @MotorAddicts and Paul Swift. No giant inflatable balls, Ford Fiestas or Vauxhall Corsas were hurt during the filming of this. Just kidding! They were mercilessly butchered! Huge crazy fun! And an amazing line-up of automotive who’s who!

Coverage MOVE 2023 at ExCel London yesterday (21 June 2023) as I looked at futuristic British hydrogen-powered Lorry, autonomous buses, and lightweight EV bubble cars, as well as checking out start-ups that offered AI-driven smart navigation allowing you to pick the most fun roads, tyre particulate emissions collectors, electric skates, flying bikes and FUSE AE which is converting classic and commercial vehicles to electric in the Middle East. #BCGEvents #MOVE2023
Check out my exclusive video from the Drivers Union Supercar Live Demos at Brands Hatch Brands Britannia event (4 June 2023), where I was commentating in the Live Action Arena where we had action (and some donuts) from the likes of Lotus Emira, Esprit, Europa; Aston Martin, McLaren including the rare and exclusive MSO 1 765LT. Meet the owners and see an amazing lineup of British sports and supercars on display. Join me and Drivers Union (the largest mixed marque supercar club in the UK and official partner of Brands Hatch) again on 14 August for Festival Italia at Brands Hatch.
Check out my video from yesterday’s Enfield Pageant of Motoring (28th May 2023) – possibly the last one before ULEZ kicks in and substantially impacts both this and the Bromley Pageant. An amazing event where I got to meet Steve McQueen in the most authentic Bullitt Mustang recreation I’ve ever seen, plus I check out Starsky and Hutch’s Striped Tomato (the famous red Ford Gran Torino), the Zombie Police Car from Resident Evil 2, Herbie and the Bluesmobile. I also took my 1989 BMW 325i E30 – #BCGBMWE30 – and it was great to catch up with some of you!
