Here are my favourite photographs of 2018
Yes I took this pic myself, no I didn’t really have a gun with me (that’s Roger Moore’s hand and Walther PPK – LOL). Click on for more pics.
Doctor Who tackles Partition
Another landmark episode – that’s two incredibly moving and powerful stories already, in a single new series with a ground-breaking new Doctor
A lifetime of Accord – Honda that is!
Giving back the 10th generation Honda Accord, caused me to reminisce and go right back to the beginning.
We’ve been running the 2018 Honda Accord 2.0-litre Sport Turbo over the last four weeks at Motoring Middle East. I actually didn’t have that much time with the car, but in the week leading up to its return I couldn’t help but reflect back on my own personal lifelong association with this now iconic Japanese automotive nameplate – I’ve actually driven every single generation of the car in one form or another.
When I met Imran Khan
He’s now the Prime Minister of Pakistan and promising big changes, but I met him when he was just starting his journey into politics
#FlashBackFriday to that time I secured a personal interview with Imran Khan. Who? Exactly!
The Caprice Classic
In 1991 I reviewed the fourth generation Caprice Classic in Jeddah Saudi Arabia
My First Car Was A Disaster!
Embarrassing to admit as a car guy, but my first motor was a POS
This 1979 Ford Cortina POS in beige with brown vinyl roof was the first car I ever bought. POS was not a limited or special edition; POS is just what it was. And it wasn’t that all Cortinas were prime examples of POS, it was just this particular one.
Are Motor Shows Dead?
What happened to all the new car launches?
I’m staring at the online media page specifically for car journalists. I’m hitting the refresh button every few seconds hoping to see more news stories on the feed. I’m waiting for the deluge of concept car reveal images and new car launch press releases. Two days later I’m still waiting. Perhaps I should log off now?
I nearly drowned reviewing this car!
Almost taking two of my mates with me – but I maintain it was their fault anyway!
Back in 1991, two years on from my very first car review (the one that got me arrested) I reviewed this actual GMC Jimmy S-15. And this time I nearly drowned in it, along with two of my best buddies, who will remain unnamed even though if we had met our watery demise it would have been on them – I was only the numpty behind the wheel after all!
