Ah, piloting the Bentley Flying Spur Mulliner through the Surrey Hills on the first sun-drenched days of summer is a thing of joy, a sensory feast of dappled sunlight and English countryside finery. A week spent unearthing hidden country pubs and sampling the burgeoning vineyards springing up like alcoholics at a Chelsea gallery opening—what could be more splendid?

Exploring the Wrangler 4-Door Sahara 2.0 GME 272HP: Review and Driving Impressions
Why Would You Drive Anything Else?
Let’s be honest—why would anyone choose anything other than a Jeep? I’ve been a fan for decades. In fact, I still have my Action Man Jeep from the 1970s, now proudly passed on to my kids. But this isn’t just nostalgia speaking—the Wrangler Sahara 2.0 GME delivers everything you’d expect from a Jeep and then some.
Arriving at the Royal Lancaster was like stepping into a world of effortless sophistication. The entrance, opposite Hyde Park, is nothing short of grandiose, and the lobby is a fantasy in marble. Sparkling glitter everywhere, gleaming from pillar to post, from the reception desk to the café. It’s a blaze of glorious welcome, the kind that makes you feel like royalty from the moment you step inside.
The Suzuki GSX-8R is Suzuki’s much-anticipated follow-up album to the capable and fun GSX-8S. As soon as the 8S hit the streets, the public were crying out for an R version and Suzuki didn’t disappoint, delivering this little beauty.
There was only one way to review the LM 350h Takumi Limousine: to drive it as it was meant to be driven—as a chauffeur. I committed to chauffeuring a young aristocratic lady every day, allowing us to enjoy both sides of the LM 350h: the luxurious comfort of the passenger’s lounge and the perspective of the driver. It was an interesting week... But first, let’s start with the specs before diving into the emotional experience.

Botswana is one of the most remarkable countries in the world. This landlocked gem in Southern Africa, home to just 2.5 million people, is celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, thriving wildlife, and strong commitment to conservation. Botswana artfully blends natural beauty with forward-thinking progress. It's also home to over 130,000 Elephants, 11,000 Giraffes, 15,000 Hippos, 1,200 Lions and 10,000 Zebras. I have been on safaris where you were lucky to spot one or two elephants at a time. In Botswana, it's more like Elephant Piccadilly at rush hour.
Domaine Evremond, the result of a unique collaboration between Champagne Taittinger, historic wine merchant Hatch Mansfield, and close friends, has reached a significant milestone with the official opening of its winery in Chilham, Kent.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a journey to the Green Spa Resort Stanglwirt, an enchanting Austrian retreat situated amid the majestic Alps. As a seasoned traveller, it takes a lot to impress me, but Stanglwirt managed to surprise and captivate me in a way I hadn't experienced before. This extraordinary place exudes a magical and exceptionally welcoming atmosphere that made leaving incredibly difficult. Promising myself that I would return as soon as possible, I departed with a deep longing for the serene haven I had found.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed has its roots in the early 1990s and is the vision of Lord March.
Lord March, also known as the Duke of Richmond, wanted to revive motor racing at Goodwood. However, reopening the Goodwood Circuit, which had been closed since 1966, proved to be a difficult task. Instead, he came up with a new concept: a celebration of motor racing history on the grounds of the estate itself.
