Why the best job in the world, is the toughest job in the world
On the right of this page, you’ll see my personal Instagram feed. Scroll through that and it probably won’t come as a surprise to you that those of us that do the sort of work that I mainly do (that of automotive journalist), are more than frequently assaulted with plaudits like:

What makes our COTY Awards special
A number of people have asked me about our Motoring Middle East awards lately as we’ve just started revealing the winners: http://bit.ly/MME2015COTY.
They are quite simply, like no other Car of the Year awards, because they don’t have to conform to categories or even a set number of accolades – last year we had 12 winners, this year only 10.
Car Love: Conflicted by Conscience
Struggling with an inner conscience that chastises over one of the very things I love most – the automobile
In the mid-90s, back in London, I found myself pondering the notion of buying one of my favourite cars of the day – the E30 BMW 3-Series.
