OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Range Rover Evoque Dynamic SD4 The smallest Range Rover ever (or should that be so far?) has recently worried the bearded, wooly knitted hat-wearing traditionalists by daring to be modern.

OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: Toyota Land Cruiser VX Limited The latest incarnation of the Toyota Land Cruiser VX Limited maintains the model’s formidable off road ability, while adding to its ever-increasing on road prowess. “I know what this is!” cried the smart-arsed blonde as she walked past the massive white Toyota Land Cruiser I was climbing […]
Well, the holiday is over and reality will soon start to set back in (although a few beers tonight should hold that off for a while longer yet…) so here’s a quick rundown of the i40’s time in Queenstown and the run back up the West Coast of the South Island! After a day relaxing […]
Spending a few days motoring around Auckland in the Hyundai i40 may not be the best way to get an idea of how economical its 1.7-litre four-cylinder diesel engine actually is.

And, wow, have those expectations been met! Batman: Arkham City sets you free in the dark and dangerous neighborhood of North Gotham, now a sealed-off […]
I am absolutely certain that it is no coincidence that the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT features in Forza Motorsport 4. Aside from being my dream car when I was 10 years old, it is almost identical to Aussie actor Eric Bana’s ‘74 variety that was the basis of his awesomely brilliant 2009 documentary Love […]
With the facelift of the current W204 iteration of the C-class, Mercedes-Benz has taken what was already a very good car and simply made it better. This sounds like a fairly sensible thing to do with a new model, but you would be surprised how many times it doesn’t work that way. Not with the […]
