‘Brown Car Guy & Buddies’ – Abdulla Jaafari has gone from covering illegal street racing / drifting on the strees of Amman, Jordan, to shooting the Pininfarina Battista in Dubai.

It’s Not Easy being a Brown Car Guy!

Very special and hilarious episode about the trauma, trials & tribulations of being a #BrownCarGuy

A very special, and hilarious, episode in which I talk about the unique challenges, particularly for me, in being a car guy as a brown or Asian person, and then on top of that, to actually (through blind determination and ignoring all the naysayers) choose to forge a career in automotive and motoring media and journalism, and still be struggling with that choice to the present day. I reveal funny episodes involving a Ferrari F40 and Samosas and ponder what I’d look like in other professions.

BMW X6 Review

Check out my video review of the BMW X6 30d xDrive

Review of the new BMW X6 – the one with the huge grille, crystal-like gear shifter and the fastback style. Big, practical, luxurious and costly, does it still drive like a BMW? This review was filmed before the lockdown – way back in December actually!

Catching up with my dear friend and founding partner on Motoring Middle East (which he still runs) we extensively cover the Cannonball Run and the latest effort to beat the coast-to-coast record; explain why trucks are cool, as is the Civic Type R, but supercars are not; reveal our least and most favourite BMW SUVs; where in the world to bag a bargain 760bhp Shelby GT 500 Ford Mustang; and I inadvertantly leave instructions for my own funeral arrangements in particular with regards to donuts – of both kind!
