Hyper-machinery
The Goodwood Festival of Speed truly is a celebration of English idioms. Jump in the old jalopy and cannon up the hill, past the stately home, run the gauntlet of the wall, and then across the finish line, after which, you sojourn to the safety of the Driver’s Club for a libation or two. Over […]
MERCEDES EQE
The Mercedes EQE is the second model series to be based on the electric architecture that debuted with the EQS. Much more compact and sportier than its sibling, the EQE maintains the one-bow lines and cabin-forward design of the EQ family and it is as spacious and comfortable as you’d expect from anything with a […]
A Celebration of Excellence
London is full of hidden places. Whether through planning or accident, there are wonderful sites untouched by urban sprawl.

I took an iX xDrive50 Sport with the M trim […]

Bentley Bentayga 2020 Edition
When I was a little boy, aged about four and a quarter, I drew a picture of “mummy in a truck”. My mother was so taken with the picture that she kept it. Although at the time I had no idea why I placed her in a truck, I now feel that I was being […]
The New BMW Series 4 Coupé

The first thing that you notice is the huge front grille, which is […]

The Bentley Mulsanne 6.75 Edition by Mulliner
It’s always hard to say goodbye and to find an appropriate way to say it; but doing so allows the new to progress. After just over sixty years, Bentley is to bid farewell to its workhorse engine: the 6.75 litre V8. During its six decades in production, it’s fair to say that the much loved […]
