Are Car Companies Going Woke? The Culture War Is Coming for Your Garage!

From rainbow-draped showrooms to politically-charged ad campaigns, the car world isn’t just about performance and price anymore. Are car companies really going “woke”? Or just trying to survive in a world where identity drives everything?

Once upon a time, all you had to ask was: “How many cylinders has it got?” Now? You need to ask if your new car aligns with your values, supports environmental justice, and – heaven forbid – won’t get you cancelled on your Facebook feed. Welcome to motoring in 2025. Forget horsepower. This is about identity politics. And the car world is tearing itself apart trying to figure out where it stands.

Airport Drop-Off Charges Are OUT OF CONTROL

Dropping off friends or family at the airport? Well now it’s upto £7.00 Just to Say Goodbye!

Remember when going to the airport was fun? You didn’t even need to be travelling – just dropping someone off or picking up a loved one felt like part of the adventure. You’d pull up to the terminal, wave them off or catch them coming through arrivals with open arms and a smile. Well, welcome to Rip-Off Britain 2025, where even saying goodbye comes at a cost. Literally.

Hermione & Madam Hooch Banned for Speeding

Emma Watson and Zoe Wannamaker both banned from driving on the same day – on yer broomsticks then!

It seems even the magical world isn’t immune to the long arm of the law… or should I say, the long quill of Traffic Enforcement. In a bizarre twist of reality-meets-fantasy, Harry Potter stars Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) and Zoë Wanamaker (Madam Hooch) have been broomed off the road – both handed driving bans for exceeding speed limits in their respective metal chariots.

Yes, it’s official: even Hogwart’s brightest can’t charm their way out of a speeding ticket. And Madam Hooch? Let’s just say her ‘watch the speed’ advice only applies during flying lessons, apparently.

50 Years of the Lotus Esprit – The Ultimate Wedge Wonder!

Ode to an Icon: My Lifelong Love Affair with the Lotus Esprit

It started with a dive. Yes… I said “dive”, not “drive”. Actually, I don’t do water. So my answer to Roger Moore would have been “no” when he turned to his passenger in the 1977 Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, and asked, “Can you swim?”. Of course, his actual passenger was a lot prettier. 

I am obviously referring to that epochal moment when 007 truly went full sci-fi, as a sleek, low, wedge-shaped car sliced under a helicopter, zipped off a pier, dove into the ocean and transformed into a submarine. That white Lotus Esprit had me at “Look what Q’s brought for us, isn’t it nice?” – it was love at first sight, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since.

Are YOU Ready to Give Up the Wheel? Driverless Cars Will Hit Our Roads in 2026!

The age of autonomous vehicles is almost here – but are we truly ready to surrender control and let go of the wheel? Here’s what you need to know.

When I started out in this game, being a motoring journalist was always about one thing: driving the cars. The thrill of the exhaust note, the response at the helm, the performance, the grip, the grip of the wheel, the subtle (unspoken) communication between machine and man – that’s where the magic was. That’s what we, as automotive content creators, have always aimed to convey to you – the audience, the readers, the viewers. What makes a car good, unique, special… or even downright dreadful?

But now… it seems that very role (our very reason for existence as petrolheads?) might be under threat.

Is This the End of the Petrol Car?

As EVs surge and petrol bans loom, we ask the big question: is the era of the petrol car spluttering to a halt – or is there still fuel left in the tank?

Somewhere in a windswept field, an abandoned petrol station stands silent. The fuel pumps, once humming with life, now rust under a golden sunset. It’s a haunting image – and perhaps a prophetic one. Because let’s be honest: the petrol car is under siege.

Governments are tightening the noose, manufacturers are switching allegiances, and electric cars are no longer niche science projects – they’re dominating forecourts, ad campaigns, and public policy. But here’s the big question: is the petrol car truly facing extinction? Let’s break it down.

It’s all about stories – but will there be a happy ending?

From AI to EVs to Apathy: The Stories Shaping (and Breaking) Our World

We live in a world of stories. Always have, always will. True stories, serious stories, funny stories, unbelievable stories, make-believe stories and fake stories.

We’re bombarded with stories from every side: the friend on the phone, the gossip on the grapevine, the bestseller on your Kindle, the news at 10 and the politician on the podium.
