I have officially entered the realm of the middle-aged man. Because for a little while now, I have been yearning for a bit of rose-tinted, unfiltered wanderlust. The kind where you simply go wherever the wind (or Google Maps) decides to take you. And while the grim realities of motorway snarl-ups and the endless dual carriageway roadworks have been quietly airbrushed out of this scenario, I’m going to roam up and down England and Wales – just for the sheer love of it.

Audi S6 Avant E-Tron Launch Edition – Review in the Grand Touring Style

Audi claims the S6 Avant E-Tron will waft you up to 384 miles on a single charge. Naturally, we decided to test that with a civilised jaunt from Guildford to Norwich and back again — 325 miles in one sitting, no recharging, no fuss, just the quiet purr of electrons and the smug glow of not visiting a petrol station. Touring in style, as always.

In an era where technology often overshadows the art of the ride, the Honda CBR650R emerges as a compelling statement of purpose. 

Back in the day, a middleweight sportsbike was uncompromising. In recent years, there has been a rebirth of the middleweight market, but the bikes that inhabit this space have now evolved. They have the same or better performance that we were used to, but now have improved ergonomics that make them more practical to live with and more comfortable to ride.

There’s an undeniable meaning to the word “MINI”. Capitalised or not, it suggests something compact yet considered. A car that knows exactly what it is and wears that confidence without any “MAXI” sized promises. For years, MINI has traded on this very identity, a blend of classic British funkiness and BMW engineering that is wrapped up in a familiar, upstanding shape.

On Sunday, 13th July, at 4.15 am, I quietly pushed the Honda CBR650R press bike out of the garage, trying not to wake the neighbours. 

2 1/2 hours later, I arrived at Goodwood FoS. The doors opened at 7 am, and I needed to be signed on and ready to ride a LiveWire at 8.30 am. 

I met David from the PR company Motocom, one of the nicest and most professional people in the business, and we wandered down to the drivers' club to get me signed on.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt.

Norton was born in Birmingham in 1898. In 1902, Norton unleashed their maiden motorcycle onto the world, and by 1907, they were already racing and winning, taking a win at the inaugural IoM TT .

This week, Norton started revealing to the world a new era for the brand. They are about to turn the page on the next chapter of the Norton story. 

Held from the 10th to the 13th of July, this year’s fantastic event was built around a single, stirring theme: The Winning Formula – Champions & Challengers. A salute not only to the past 75 years of Formula 1 but to the daring spirit that unites motorsport legends with up-and-coming, next-gen challengers.

On a scorching hot weekend at the end of June, Ragley Hall was the venue for the Adventure Bike Rider Festival or ABR. 

Set in 450 acres of beautiful parkland, in the heart of Shakespeare’s England, the Ragley estate overlooks the unspoilt Warwickshire countryside.

What sort of tour would best suit the brutish, brooding elegance of the new 2025 Mustang Dark Horse? The most muscly of muscle cars, and without doubt the best-looking beast ever to gallop out of the Ford stable, surely deserves something cinematic. Because nothing says subtle symbolism like photographing this snorting V8 beast alongside a real-life stallion —  with hooves and attitude.
