Let me start with a confession: I’ve always smirked at the idea of electric vehicles (EVs) navigating the countryside. It wasn’t the charging infrastructure that bothered me – it was the weight, the lack of engine noise, and the disconnect I assumed would exist on twisty, unpredictable roads. As a die-hard petrolhead with a Mini…
Gear up for one of South Wales’ most beloved automotive gatherings, the South Wales Car Festival 2025!

There are narrow roads, and then there's Llangynidr Bridge. Known as one of the oldest and narrowest bridges in Wales, it’s a true test of nerve for any driver brave enough to cross. My recent journey took me and my Mini Clubman JCW over this precarious stone bridge on our way from Baffle Haus to…
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! When I heard about the opportunity to ride the Vale of Rheidol Railway, which steams through the Cambrian Mountains, it…
When I think of drive-in movie theatres, scenes from Grease flash through my mind – open-air cinemas, classic cars, and the romantic notion of watching a film under the stars. It’s all very American, iconic, and nostalgic. But are drive-ins still relevant today?
The History of the Drive-In
The first drive-in theatre opened in New Jersey…
Osian Pryce will start this weekend’s Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally (Saturday 26 October) as one of four drivers still in with a chance of winning the 2024 Probite British Rally Championship title – and while he’s currently fourth in the standings, the 2021 event winner still has his bonus points scoring BRC Joker to play…
This Sunday marked my first visit to the P1NK Supercar Hangout in Cardiff, attending their Mini & Mocha event. I’ve been to my fair share of car meets, but there’s something uniquely special about P1NK, especially as it’s becoming a go-to destination for local petrolheads.

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…
