Should you buy… a Vector W8?
I team up with Imthishan Giado of Motoring Middle East to decide!
Kicking off a new series with Imthishan Giado of Motoring Middle East, in which we decide if you should buy a certain car. If the two of us both agree we’d buy it, you get the green light!

My full review of the Kia ProCeed – in which I proceed to attempt to explain what it is… see what I did there?
Is this car confusing or cool? Confusing because the first question you’re asking is what is it, and why is it? The ‘what’ I’ll attempt to answer the ‘why’ I’ll leave you to conclude. And cool because… it’s a maverick that hates to conform?

05062020 #BCGBulletin update
Looking at the new cars out this week – the all-new BMW 4 Series with THAT GRILLE and Hyundai’s redesigned Santa Fe, which could be Thor’s new ride.

#BlackOutTuesday was phenomenal, but it’s hardly adequate when #BlackLivesMatter
There was a blackout on the web yesterday – around 30 million black squares posted on #BlackOutTuesday to saturate social media with one crucial message: #BlackLivesMatter.
It was surreal and heart-warming, and sent out a much-needed message of solidarity that was unprecedented in its scope and sentiment.

02062020 #BCGDaily ‘Brown Car Guy & Buddies’ – Damien Reid
When I moved to Dubai in 2006 as editor of Car Middle East, Damien Reid was editor of Autocar Middle East, but from fierce professional rivarly emerged a fast personal friendship. It’s great to catch up with one of the most respected and prolific car journalists in the Middle East, to hear some great behind-the-scenes stories of what really went on with PR, car manufacturers and magazine publishing in Dubai, and get his considered take on the state of motor racing during the COVID-19 lockdown.

You hear that? Shutters opening up, window panes being squeaky cleaned, factories restarting and engines firing up. Yep – the car industry is back in business.
Continue reading “Car Industry – Back in Business!”I know Supercar Blondie but I’m the real Car Girl!
She rides bikes and drives too fast, is a radio and TV star and can kick ass if she wants to!
Great to catch up with the all-action Wonder Woman of motoring in the UAE – Alix Capper Murdoch Atkinson. She’s in the military, she does stunt driving, she races cars and bikes, she’s a radio DJ, has done TV and live shows (with me) and raises loads of cats. She also manages to name drop quite a bit in this video from her time in Dubai from Kanye West and Kim Kardashian to Jackie Chan and working alongside Alex Hirschi AKA Supercar Blondie. Plus that time she deliberately crashed a Range Rover into a Taxi in Dubai!
