Meet My Arch Rival!!

02062020 #BCGDaily ‘Brown Car Guy & Buddies’ – Damien Reid

When I moved to Dubai in 2006 as editor of Car Middle East, Damien Reid was editor of Autocar Middle East, but from fierce professional rivarly emerged a fast personal friendship. It’s great to catch up with one of the most respected and prolific car journalists in the Middle East, to hear some great behind-the-scenes stories of what really went on with PR, car manufacturers and magazine publishing in Dubai, and get his considered take on the state of motor racing during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Cadillac Escalade 2021 & secret million dollar deal | Brown Car Guy Update 10022020

Latest Brown Car Guy Update 10022020 #BCGDaily

I’ve been checking out the magnificent beast that is the new 2021 Cadillac Escalade online – it’s gargantuan, futuristic and pretty awesome. I love it and would love to do a review. I’ve driven previous versions and it reminded me of an amazing gangster / heist / secret rendezvous mini movie we produced back in 2016 with the Escalade for Cadillac Middle East when I was at Motoring Middle East. Watch that video here

Seven Least Likely Automotive Predictions for 2020

Here’s what definitely, positively, certainly will not happen next year. Probably.

I dropped my crystal ball, it shattered internally and now it’s more crystallised than crystal clear. It doesn’t matter; the world is topsy-turvy and there is a massive disturbance in the Force. Well, at least a major upset, worthy of at least a couple of swigs of Pepto-Bismol I’d wager, especially if you’re reading this after Christmas dinner, enthroned upon the old Armitage Shanks!
