The Mark 5 Golf GTi was a welcome return to what a Golf GTi should be like. This particular one being reviewed here is 16 years old at date of review, so it’s interesting to see how it has stood up to the test of time. See the review below and let me know what […]
This is the first video review for a car that I own, so it is always going to be a good review. Having said that, I did point out what is not done well alongside the aspects of the Jaguar that I really like. The roadholding, power delivery and driving comfort in this Jaguar are […]
I first drove this generation (2006 – 2014) of the Jaguar XK while I still had my Audi A5 … and I thought it a particularly nice car to cruise along in or when I felt inclined to open the taps a bit. The driving position, roadholding, looks and V8 noise from the twin exhaust […]
Very much a super coupe due to its behemothic dimensions, the CL500 never really featured in my car universe as a machine I’d like to have. Until I test drove the C215 variant (ie the previous generation) many years ago and found it super comfy and quite quick. The only thing that put me off […]
I have been a fan of the Mercedes SL range forever but my favourite generation of these cars was the R129 variant that was on sale from 1989 to 2001. This review covers the SL280 version that I borrowed from Karl Goodwin motors – thanks again to Karl for lending me the car. These cars […]
Not every day the opportunity comes along to review a Lamborghini, so naturally I jumped at the chance. A big thank you to Joe who owns this magnificent machine and to Karl Goodwin motors for facilitating the review. To date, the only Ferrari I had driven was a Ferrari Mondial. The most powerful car I’d […]
Like many of us, my car has been sitting still for a while without getting any sort of TLC. Dust and bird droppings were starting to annoy me and I found that access to water for washing the Jaguar was getting tricky. I used to follow a 3-sponge 3-bucket system for washing my cars but […]
Now that many of our cars are laid up with the global pandemic raging, I thought this would be a good opportunity to present a video guide on what sort of regular maintenance checks your car would benefit from. I am going to adopt the FLOWER term that is widely used within the motor Industry, […]
Back home in sunny Ireland and we’re all in lockdown. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to review a Jaguar S Type that is parked on the driveway. This model is an X206 variant from 2007 in SE trim and is powered by the Ford/Peugeot 2.7 diesel engine (spoiler alert – this is a […]
Not a fan of the previous generation of the Land Rover Discovery with it’s bland design … I was therefore looking forward to reviewing the later version that was launched in 2017, as it looks better and seems to have a better build quality. This version on review today is a 2017 2.0 TD4 HSE […]
