Tired of car reviews that all sound the same? Here’s why I never read or watch other journalists’ takes
I don’t read car reviews. I don’t watch car reviews. Not because I think everyone else’s stuff is rubbish (well… maybe sometimes). But because I don’t want to be influenced, even subconsciously, by anyone else’s opinion on a car.
We talk burnout, classic vs new cars, event ticket prices, and why car culture still matters – even when it feels like it’s slipping away.
This week’s BrownCarGuy Therapy Session is one of the realest yet. No fluff, no filters – just a proper sit-down between me and Sy from Drivers Union, talking about the realities of being in the car world in 2025. We kicked off with the pressures of creating car content. Sy, also a brilliant automotive photographer, and me, running BrownCarGuy on YouTube, both know the hustle: hours of editing, planning, shooting, posting – and often, the payoff? Barely a blip. Creating content in a saturated space can feel like shouting into the void, and the mental toll is real.
Is this part of a new book? Could it be? What do you think?
By the faintest light of a dying streetlamp, BCG turned the padlock dials until the combinations clicked into place. The lock snapped open with a metallic crack, and he rolled up the shutter. A wave of stale air drifted from the dark, damp interior. He paused, letting his eyes adjust – until the sharp angle of a raked windscreen and flat bonnet emerged from the gloom.
From vintage treasures to track-ready beasts, here’s everything I saw and heard at Brands Hatch this weekend!
The Brands Hatch GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS – May 2025 – was a proper feast for fans of fast metal, rare classics and raw car culture. I was there all weekend soaking it all in, and I’ve bundled up every last rev, roar, and rear-end slide for your viewing pleasure.

When you’re updating your own portfolio page, look through your vast body of work, impress the crap out of yourself and think: ‘I’d bloody hire this guy for sure!’ LOL.
There’s a very compelling reason you actually should continue to read my car reviews, and you’ll barely believe it. I reveal it here.
Somebody asked me do you still write car reviews? Duh! Of course I do. You can find them right at this link, in fact I’ve just recently added a bunch and there are more to come http://www.motoringme.com/reviews/
