What a fantastic experience. I was lucky to drive the Joker for three days through everything from glorious sunshine to storms and torrential rain.
We had a few issues along the way, but nothing serious enough to stop us from finishing the rally and getting back every night.
There are still repairs to do, of course, but I suppose that’s p…Read More

I’m currently in Romania visiting my parents! Despite the five-hour drive, I was very determined to show you guys, and myself at the same time 😄, the biggest car collection in Romania, belonging to the richest man in the country, Ion Țiriac!
The livestream can be found on my YouTube channel. I was astonished by the condition of both the cars an…Read More

I bought the UK’s cheapest Rover P4, and if I’m honest, it wasn’t because it made perfect sense at the time. It wasn’t a carefully planned purchase, and it definitely wasn’t the kind of car most people would look at and think, “Yes, that’s the one.” But there was something about it that stuck with me. I didn’t buy it because it was a good idea……Read More

Here are a few more photos from the last video:
I think I can safely say this was, by far, the best car experience I’ve had at Prescott Hill Climb. Even though it wasn’t a proper race, I can’t really imagine racing a car like this. Just knowing its value would be enough to add a bit of pressure. And to be hones…Read More

So here is a scenario. You have unlimited money but you have to spend it on a brand new 25 plate modern car of your preferred/favorite brand (That is still a company in 2025). For me it would be the Mercedes Benz Maybach S680 First Class. Not that I ever would as even if I had that kind of money to spend on a car I would always buy a classic. If…Read More

Interesting idea! Funny enough, I used to be a BMW fan since I was a teenager and I even worked for them as a service advisor, but not anymore with all the modern stuff.
Modern cars just aren’t really to my taste. They’re fine to drive now and then, and great for towing a trailer, but all those sensors drive me mad! I also find them quite str…Read More-

I agree. Good friend of mine has a 2025 5 series bimmer electric, as his company car. Been in it a few times and all the sensors and warnings like the lane thing and is has a shout at you if you go 31 etc. I think these are all mandates for new cars. I would never buy one just for that… I agree about the Bluetooth though. My fintail has…Read More

Looking foreword to this video. These p4 remind me of the MB Pontons, which was the predecessor to my fintail.
