This morning, breakfast TV greeted me with the news that a skyscraper had melted a Jaguar XJ. Slow news day, I pondered, but then started to recall tales of small children burning random things with magnifying ...

The Audi R8 reminds me of a car I dug up in a friend’s garden as a small boy. It was a bright orange Corvette, with that typical sports car rear that smoothly angles down at about 40 degrees. It’s a shape t...

I've been fascinated with the way products are advertised since my college days, when I guess I was kind of indoctrinated with our course bible, Ways Of Seeing by John Berger. The book examined the ways we vie...

It will come as no surprise to you that a car’s health is pretty important for our own collective well-being. It goes fast and then needs to stop. Basically, a bit like life. Part of ensuring that your car (a...
