Call sign: “Pearl” Having lived with the Seat Leon for what seemed like an eternity and with some cash back in the bank following buying a house I felt the need to return to owning a performance car. It was an inevitable consequence of coming back into money after spending […]
Call Sign: “Burt”, “Slug” Now this car was neither love at first sight, nor a car that I ever really learned to love during my time with it. The Leon was a means to an end that I had to put up with. In fact when I imagine an old […]
Call Sign: “Beetle”, “Panther” Having landed my first job out of university it was only a few months before I upgraded from my Ford Fiesta to a car which I’d wanted to own since 16 years of age – a 3 door, black metallic paint, air conditioned, 2005 (55 plate) […]
Call Sign: “Fester” The first car I ever owned was a silver 1.3 Ford Fiesta, S-reg (1997) which quickly became known as “Fester” – creative I know. The Fiesta was bought for me and my sister to share by my parents so I was driving it from 17 years of […]
This weekend brought about the best weather of the year so far in Leighton Buzzard with Saturday peaking at 16 degrees and today topping out at 19 degrees. So what better way to spend my Sunday than washing the car, going for a drive and finishing the day in a […]

What better way to spend the evening after a long week at work than by keeping things simple and meeting up with my other half for a nice meal and a few drinks. Being in London there are thousands of restaurants and pubs to choose from so it’s always great […]

Considering Alfonso had directed the likes of Great Expectations (1998) and […]
My 9-5 exists in London meaning that as a Bedfordshire guy I must undertake the daily commute with London Midland. For years I put off getting a job in London as the thought of early starts, late nights home and the hammering of my wallet couldn’t justify it. I know […]
