Life has a funny way of surprising us, especially when you're a car enthusiast with a household brimming with adrenaline, turbochargers, and an expanding collection of wheels. My wife and I are delighted to announce we’re expecting a new addition to our family in December, rounding us up to a family of four. But as…
If you're a petrolhead, you’ve probably dreamt of parking your pride and joy on a beach, imagining that open space where sand stretches for miles. But if you’re also someone who takes meticulous care of your vehicle, parking on the beach might be a concept that contradicts every instinct. Sea salt can cling to the…
As much as I love taking my Mini Clubman JCW for a spin through the winding roads of Ceredigion, sometimes it’s nice to let someone else take the wheel. Or, in this case, the whistle!

Making the decision to tune my Mini Clubman John Cooper Works (JCW) isn't something I've taken lightly.
In fact, I never really saw the appeal of tuning cars, especially one like this. The internet is filled with examples of people tuning their cars, and I've noticed two types of enthusiasts.
On one hand, you’ve got…
This weekend (11th – 13th October 2024), the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre is buzzing with excitement as it hosts the Everything Electric South 2024 event. As an EV owner myself—driving a Tesla Model 3 Performance—I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to check out what’s new and what’s coming to market in 2025. Whether you’re an…
One of the things I love most as a dad is encouraging my daughter to step out of her comfort zone and try something new. It’s one of those things that, as a parent, you know will help her grow—whether it’s teaching her to ride her bike (which is still one of my all-time favourite…
