Once upon a time I wanted to be able to write like James, still do actually
#ThrowBackThursday Remembering Clive James, who passed away yesterday RIP, I managed to dig out this review I did of one of his travel shows exactly 26 years ago this month!
Toyota Aygo Review
Check out my review of the Toyota Aygo – a fun package with a tight fit!
This is the 2019 Toyota Aygo in X-trend spec which is actually new for this year. It gets the 15-inch machined alloys and the red accents on the sills, bumper and mirrors, which are cool.

When my comic book got reviewed
Being compared to John Sullivan was rather special!
Was so proud of this review of my comic book ‘Let’s Jam’ back in 1996. This was printed in a small press review magazine and I reprinted it in this leaflet at the time which I just now came across.

My favourite photos of 2017
Looking back at what I thought were my best pics of the year
Two pics from the 2017 Gulf Concours at the Burj Al Arab in December. The above Lancia Flaminio, because I love the way this composition and the colours worked out. And below…
