At that point, some time ago, I was talking in purely theoretical terms.

You need an oil well […]

There’s a bright future for Toyota and this New rather good British built Corolla should lighten the Brexit gloom along with the New long-awaited New Supra later in the year.

He reckons he is just about at home now with how to use the impressive communications technology available. He reckons the phone system is particularly good. In our test BMW X4 (BMW calls it a Sports Activity Coupe), I admit to not trying this out because I simply don’t like talking on a phone when I am driving. That said, […]

For no good reason at all, I detested it on sight. “This not an MG,” I subconsciously seethed, while gazing scornfully at the anonymous-looking SUV on my drive and the large, octagonal MG badge on the tail which also functions […]
