In Defence of the Car & Debunking the Case Against!

Why the Anti-Car Narrative is Misguided, Misjudged, and Misinformed – Everything You NEED to Know

We’ve all heard it. The endless noise from the anti-car crowd. “Ban the car!” “Cars are killing the planet!” “15-minute cities will save us all!” And if you dare to question this gospel, you’re apparently some kind of oil-chugging, soot-snorting Neanderthal standing in the way of human progress.

But let’s pause for a second, take a breath (clean air, of course), and actually examine the case against the car – and then, calmly and rationally, dismantle it like a Haynes manual breakdown. Because the reality is this: the car isn’t the problem. In fact, the car has been one of the greatest enablers of freedom, opportunity, and progress in human history. And it still is.

Fake Reviews. Paid Posts. Welcome to Car Content 2025

Some car content aims to inform you. Some is just glorified advertising. Can you tell which is which?

Have you ever watched a car review and thought, “Gosh, they really love this car… is it really that great?” You’re not wrong to wonder. In 2025, the world of automotive content has become a slick, hyper-polished, monetised machine. The videos. The reels. The “reviews”. The ones where the creator is beaming, the lighting is flawless, and every car is apparently “amazing”. But beware – here’s what you may not know: many of these creators are being told what to say (or not say) and being paid to do so!

RIP Honda Civic Type R & The Death of Manual Hondas in the UK

This year, we’re not just saying goodbye to a hot hatch icon, but to the last manual Honda you can buy!

I cannot emphasise this enough – Honda’s revelation that the Honda Civic Type-R is to be taken off sale is a huge deal! It’s majorly significant. A marker in automotive history. A sad marker. These are the moments in car culture that hit like a sucker punch to the gut. Not because they’re unexpected, but because, deep down, we hoped they’d never come. Unfortunately, it has come. The Honda Civic Type R is dead. And with it, so too dies the last manual Honda you can buy in the UK. Just let that sink in.


If you know Honda, like I know Honda, this is a brand that built its reputation on efficient high-revving engines, razor-sharp handling, and manual gearboxes so sweet they felt like slicing sushi with a samurai’s Tanto dagger.

The Roaches Have It – A Rant Against the World’s So-Called Leaders

The system is so broken that we need to reset, reboot, and rethink everything. But our last best hope could be no hope at all

Stop picking sides, think real hard, and you’ll come to the only truth on the table: we are not being led. We are being dragged, shoved, mocked, manipulated, and sometimes exterminated by a global cabal of narcissists, opportunists, and cosplay emperors.

With the latest spat between Trump and Musk playing out like a cross between WWE and the Jeremy Kyle Show, it’s clearer than ever that modern politics is no longer governance – it’s merely gladiatorial pantomime, broadcast in real time across TikTok and Twitter, where tantrums trend before the tea time news bulletins.

New Grand Tour Presenters Revealed

But will you actually watch it? This was a show created, after all, specifically for the Top Gear refugees, Clarkson, Hammond & May!

It’s official (well, sort of) – The Grand Tour is gearing up for a new era. The legendary trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May have finally driven off into the sunset for good (after that rather fitting Zimbabwe send-off), and now the rumour mill – nay, the internet – is buzzing with the announcement of their replacements. So who are the brave souls stepping into the shoes of one of the most daunting trios in Automotive TV history?

Save the Manuals!

This is Our Last Chance – Only 82 New Manual Cars Left on sale in the UK!

If alarm bells aren’t ringing, they should be! An extinction-level event is unfolding right under our noses. And no one seems to be doing anything thing about it. According to new research from CarGurus, the number of manual gearbox cars available in the UK has dropped a shocking 57% over the past decade. In 2015, you had 192 new car models you could buy with a manual. Now? Just 82. That’s it. That’s your lot. Let that sink in.

10MPH Speed Limits in Cities? Are They Having a Laugh?!

A charity, a Road Safety Foundation, is proposing 10mph speed limits – seriously?!

Sometimes the news hits you with something so utterly ridiculous, so mind-meltingly daft, you can’t ignore it. So here we are. Hold onto your steering wheels. Because apparently, 20mph wasn’t slow enough – now they want to cut urban speed limits to 10mph. Yes, TEN. And no, check the date below, this is not an April Fool’s Day post.

Supercar Brands Will DIE – Unless They Do THIS

Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren all risk extinction if they continue on their current paths

Last weekend, while surrounded by a jaw-dropping display of supercars at Brands Hatch with the Drivers Union crew – Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, Astons, all gleaming in the sun – someone asked me a question that got me thinking: “What do you think is going to happen to these brands in the future?”

Driving Is NOT Fun Anymore – It’s a Mental Health Crisis!

Top 10 Most Stressful Countries to Drive in PLUS How to Cope With Stress

Remember when driving was fun? A carefree cruise with your favourite tunes, windows down, and the open road ahead. These days, though, it feels more like a battle — against traffic, local councils, your wallet, and your own rising stress levels. Driving has become a mental health flashpoint, and it’s not just anecdotal.
