I live a fairly simple life. I don’t buy many clothes, I don’t frequently splash out on expensive things and any money that I do have at the end of a month I put into savings. The only large outgoing that I tend to have is my annual 2 week […]

Ferrari F430 Challenge – Supercar Driving Experience Day
I’m off work this week so I had been trying to figure out how to spend these precious few days of being free of the daily commute and work stress without wasting the time just sitting around the house eating the contents of the fridge. I figured it would be […]
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse… Yes Please!
There aren’t many cars around that really make me stop what I’m doing and spend time thinking about where I would park it, how I would clean it, how it would look on my mansion driveway but the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is definitely one of them! Earlier today I […]
The Cars I’ve Loved and Lost
I’ve owned a few cars in my time. The ones that I have owned I’ve taken good care of and loved each of them in their own special way… except for Burt… but more about that later. Each of my cars tend to get given a pet name (“call sign” […]
My Current Car: Seat Ibiza SC FR (2013)
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 […]

My 2nd Car: Honda Civic Type-R (2005)
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) […]
My 1st Car: Ford Fiesta 1.3 (1997)
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 […]
A Car Wash, Country Drive and The Pilgrim in North Marston
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 […]
