… Ineos Grenadier … Like most of you I only know what I’ve read in the press about this brand new vehicle so it was with some scepticism that I attended a recent presentation event. Some of the press reporting so far has been sensational, sceptical, even derogatory whilst some […] Read more »

Ineos Grenadier 4×4 Time will tell if Land Rover missed a trick with its revamped Defender, or if Ineos has stolen a march with its new Grenadier 4×4. Looking very like the late Santana which itself was a revamped copy of a Defender, Ineos has trodden the same path – […] Read more »

… Ford Mustang GT 5.0 V8 … “But I would drive 500 miles, and I would drive 500 more” – if only I could afford the petrol. “Just to be the man who’s driven a thousand miles to fall down at your door” – broke and penniless. Apologies to the […] Read more »

Bentley Continental GT W12 … Now bear with me, but I felt like Biggles the other day. And no, I wasn’t flying. In fact my wheels never left the ground. But the reason was that I was sitting behind a 12 cylinder engine and watching the horizon rise and fall […] Read more »
