London Mayor Reelection

Disaster for Car Culture & Local Economies

I didn’t want to make this video. I hoped I wouldn’t need to.

Jay Leno’s Pakistani Twin, Bandits and Unimogs plus the world’s highest classic car rally!

Not only is the similarity uncanny, but like the famed American TV host, comedian and voracious car collector, Mohsin Ikram too, is hilarious company and a full-on car guy!
