#BrownCarGuy – News, Views & Reviews!
New 2024 Series 12 of Car S.O.S (the car show with a heart!) begins on Thursday, 7th March 2024 at 8.00pm on the National Geographic Channel. See my exclusive interview with TV presenters Tim Shaw & Fuzz Townshend in this brilliant podcast! 🤩 We talk about cars and episodes of the new series plus the important connections we have with our cars!
In this video I catch up with my dear friend Ovais Naqvi, who a couple of years ago completed his life-long ambition to establish a world-class karting circuit in Karachi, Pakistan. This year, for the first time, he took a team of drivers to compete at the Dubai Kartdrome against many international teams, and they managed to bring home a trophy! In this podcast I catch up with him and some of the team members and drivers to talk about the experience of competing in Dubai, how it worked out for them, what they have learned and what’s next. Suffice to say, they’ve definitely got the bug!
The escalating War on the Motorist is happening everywhere, even in India. Join us in this compelling episode as we delve deep into it with India’s esteemed veteran motoring journalist, Adil Jal Darukhanawala.
Join us in this inspiring video podcast as we chat with Pakistan’s first female professional motoring journalist, Fariha Aftab, a trailblazer who is redefining the automotive industry in a traditionally patriarchal society. She candidly discusses the challenges and triumphs of navigating a male-dominated field, how she came to become a juror with Women’s World Car of the Year Awards (WWCOTY), and her impact on empowering young girls and women in Pakistan to choose careers in automotive and journalism. This podcast is not just about cars; it’s about breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and empowering a new generation.
In this podcast video, I speak to Simon Fawthrop, Conservative Councillor for Petts Wood & Knoll, Orpington, about where the situation with ULEZ currently stands, how anti-motorists and anit-car policies will lose elections, crime in London, why protests should be about policy not personality and the revelation that TFL is sending our data to Argentina, India and Israel! Fascinating discussion in the back of a famous Pink London Taxi which you can hire – just go to this Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100076632528620
Coverage of Anti-ULEZ Expansion Protest at Downing Street 29th August 2023 (Day 1 of the expanded London-wide ULEZ Zone), including interviews.
This was West London Classic’s last meet before the ULEZ expansion kicks in on Tuesday 29th August, whilst the venue for this event is just outside the M25, most of the members of WLC are based in London and a very high percentage drive non-ULEZ compliant modern classics. So what will happen to car culture in London?
In-depth interview with the truly amazing and selfless Prabhdeep Singh as he completed his week-long hunger strike in Uxbridge in protest at the ULEZ expansion. See the 41-year-old father of two, ex-British Army veteran complete it with his family and the reaction of his supporters and be presented with a very special medal!
Army veteran, Prabhdeep Singh, 41, is protesting against the ULEZ Expansion by staging a week-long hunger strike outside Uxbridge Station. A real community hero, he previously hunger striked to protest against the cost-of-living crisis exactly a year ago. I couldn’t get down there to meet him, but a friend, Keval Bhatt, went to see him yesterday and recorded this little chat on his phone. All respect to Prabhdeep and if you’re passing, take him a bottle of water as that’s all he’s surviving on!
Great chat with Dubai’s biggest Supercar Vlogger, Ali Al Hamoudi, who was back in London yesterday with Nissan for the Formula E race. I’ve known him since he first started out and now he’s got a fantastic 8 million followers across his multiple platforms. Some of the links are given below. One of the first Emirati’s to become serious content creator in the automotive sector, he’s very passionate about what he does as well and just an all-round great guy. @UAESuperSport
