Govt Urged to Introduce Pay-Per-Mile Car Tax ‘Quickly’

As the War on Motorists Continues, We Assess the Impact of PPM on Drivers

It has begun! Barely five days after the new Labour government took power, we’re already seeing the early signs of what many, including myself, have been warning about for years.

From Clunkers to Competence: The End of Bad Cars in Today’s Market

From the clunky and unreliable cars of the past to today’s meticulously crafted machines, the automotive landscape has transformed dramatically

Are there still any truly bad cars? That’s the question we tackled in a recent podcast with my former motoring Middle East buddy, who was in town. Catching up with him was an absolute joy, and naturally, we ended up doing a little podcast together.
