I mull over and decide to move the E30 onto somebody more able to take care of it. Meanwhile, time for me to jump into a toy.
0This sun is making me sad (bike thoughts)
I no longer recognise the advent of summer through the growth and shine of the multicoloured display of flora that can so resplendently decorate our British countryside. No. Now, it’s the unmistakably delicious sound of 12k/rpm combined with the rainbow
0E30 Alpina goes in for work – fourth time lucky!
How many times can I go through with this? I’ve just dropped off my E30, C2 2.7 Alpina to a workshop of a friend to have the work completed hopefully, for good this time I hope. It’s now had 3
0BMW 118d oh why do I bother…
Yes I sold the Mini. In its stead I now use a 118d day to day. A 2.0 turbo diesel, I have to say that it’s been an absolutely brilliant daily. 8 speed automatic makes it an absolute doddle to
0Alpina C2 2.7 back in my care, for now
What is it about an old car like this that makes you forget about its countless foibles, allowing you to convert a tiresome, 100 mile drive in a troublesome car into a delightfully vivid trip down memory lane? It’s like
0Panigale has its swansong.
I’m lucky that I’ve been privileged enough to have owned, driven and enjoyed some incredible machinery over the years. Having spent 10 years steadily and incrementally building my experiences with cars, jumping onto two wheels, as a recent departure, has
0Ducati Panigale 1199S Tricolore for sale
My mood is so conflicted. I’m both mildly upset and also somewhat relieved. As my experience on the bike increases, so has my speed. And although I am more than confident on the bike, I feel that eventually, as this
0Number plate stolen – what to do
Biowidge. I’ve been happy with people calling me that for 10 years now. Because for that long, it’s been the number plate on my car. B10WDG. A good friend of mine, Adam, bought it for me that long ago and
1Rewriting the rules
It dawned on me last night why I’m so hooked on motorbikes. As I rolled home from another insane, blurred ride home, bike leaning on its side as it tink’ed its way down to a cooler temperature, I had a
0Where does one go from here? Ducati Panigale 1199S Tricolore
This is what it’s all about really. In less than 5 months from passing my motorbike test, I’d already reached the pinnacle of the Motorbike. The Ducati Panigale has been internationally recognised as a massive leap in motorbike production terms,
0Then I entered the Matrix with my Ducati 848 Evo Corse SE
Because you see, when I watched the Matrix Reloaded for the first time in 2003, I needed a Ducati. NEEDED. How did I ever let something so beautiful slip me by without my prior recognition? I didn’t buy a Ducati
0Fisher Price my first bike – Triumph Daytona 675R
Now something I’m not is an expert on motorbikes. I can dissect a car down to its core values and offer enough experienced commentary to establish myself as qualified opinion. However, with motorbikes I’m starting from a blank canvas, which
0Quick AMG Romance – C63
Early this year I had an opportunity to fill a car sized spot in my garage. I didn’t want to go full on with anything exotic, but wanted a saloon car with 4 doors and a big engine. It really
0Something for the weekend? I went supercar shopping
I waste a perfectly good day doing nothing other than wondering the showrooms of Ferrari and Lamborghini in central London. I feel such a bum.
0Alpina Restoration Complete
So a year has passed and not much has really changed. LOL seriously. A fuck load has changed, but there’s no car news. I’ve been driving around in a Mini Cooper S for about a year now and it’s actually
0I get to play with a 2011 Nissan GTR for the weekend.
Nissan give me a 2011 GTR to play with – it’s cat amongst the pigeons as we mix it up with supercar exotica.
