The Master Detailer

The nice people at Influx suggested earlier this year that they wanted three films off us. One on minibuses, one on bubblecars and one on car detailers. Trying to find an interesting angle on minibuses was tough I’ll be honest, but we somehow pulled it off with the help of some very cooperative conversion type […]

Tushek TS 900 H APEX

If you’re into speed, you’ll love the TS 900 H APEX. Yes, I know, the name doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue, but this is one hell of a sexy hypercar. The fact it is a hypercar should be enough to ‘wow’ you because, by their very nature, these animals trump supercars. Actually, this will […]

F355: 25 Years of Ferrari’s Modern Classic

Ferrari. Creator of red-liveried and four-wheeled dream machines. Purveyor of poster car stars with a back catalogue of truly iconic low-slung luminaries. Firmly embedded into car (and supercar) culture, Ferrari has a roll-call of celestial coupés and divine drop-tops. And now as it reaches its quarter-century, the F355 is fired into the modern classic stratosphere. […]

Imagine the most graceful creature on earth. Watch it in your mind as it sways and dances through the summer’s sunshine and the winter’s rains. Every twist and turn is a piece of choreographed wonder. Every glimmer and sparkle is an effortless movement capturing your gaze.

We are however talking about a very special car. A car where beautiful elegance meets savage power. The 2018 Alpina B5 .

1000 BHP Super Cars – Performance on a Grand Scale

Everything is getting bigger these days: skyscrapers, waistlines, gas bills, commercial breaks on TV, NHS waiting times, television screens…and vehicle power outputs. Let’s think about the last item on that list. To more seasoned petrolheads, it doesn’t seem so very long ago that the 137 bhp pumped out by the VW Golf GTI 16V was […]

Buying a Porsche 996? a cautionary tale

I have just sold my troubled and troublesome Porsche 996 Carrera 4S. So the front cover of October’s Octane magazine wasn’t exactly welcome in my house: “BARGAIN 911. Why the Porsche 996 is the ‘one to buy’ right now.” To be fair to them, they’re almost certainly right, and the idea of buying an appreciating […]

But not all of these were folks noodling around, dream car-shopping in their office lunch hour. In addition to the initial enquiries, Ford received 6,506 fully completed applications from people around the world – […]
