TThe day they came for our cars, was the day they took Dad. It was way back in the mid-2020s, right when the crackdown… can I say that now? Dare I use such words? I guess it’s been long enough. Anyway, it was back when the cool cars all first started disappearing.

Do you need a truck? Probably not. Will you drive off road, actually, the question should be, will you frequently drive like a bat-out-of-hell on rough terrain? Unlikely. Is it smart to have a car that’s nearly two metres longer, and half a metre wider than a typical small city car? Not really. During a cost-of-living crisis should you be contemplating buying a car that costs around £60,000 all-in and manages only 20.5mpg? Does your bank manager come to work sporting a mohawk, nose ring and wearing a mankini? Exactly.
Should you then be lusting after the new 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor truck? Oh, hell yeah! Totally. Absolutely. In fact, form an orderly queue of adoring fans that starts just behind me.

A multi-talented petrolhead friend of mine back in Dubai is an engineer, businessman, adventurer, photographer, journalist and is actively part of the motorsports scene in the region. It now turns out, he has another astonishing skill – song-writing!

I have the date, time, and place for the next Anti-ULEZ Expansion protest, plus proof that Pay-Per-Mile could be coming, based on a report from the TFL website. You thought it was just a conspiracy – it’s not, it’s real. This is why ULEZ impacts EVERYBODY and why we all need to stop it now.
The Volkswagen ID.5 is the ‘coupe’ version of ID.4, which is a crossover family SUV-style electric vehicle. And by ‘coupe’ we don’t mean it loses the rear doors, but that it gets a more fastback-like sloping rear roof-line.

Report from the Anti-ULEZ protest this afternoon at Trafalgar Square. We speak to the community directly affected and concerned by the ULEZ Expansion due at the end of August this year across the whole of Greater London. Strong views, valid points, high passion – watch now!
Interviews and cars, from the 2023 London Classic Car Show which returns to its home at Olympia London. Packed from the beginning on day 1 – Friday 24 February, we talk to owners and car makers about Ferraris, American coolness, and replica Bentley Blowers and a Bugatti Veyron. Plus we check out 60 years of the Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette and much more. And how about that brown and black Chevrolet Camaro SS – it’s even got my initials on it!
