Imagine a beautiful place, no not that one, THIS ONE! You’ve travelled for 4 hours, through towns each smaller than the last. First the glorious Blue Mountains, then Lithgow, Bathurst, and Orange, and still you head west. The countryside changes as you fling headlong down the open road.

2020 Nissan Patrol Ti-L Nissan Patrol is a big old beast of a thing. It went in for a facelift, and came out looking a little less frumpy. The look is somewhat polarising. There are some who love it and others who don’t. The look grew on me the more I lived with it. What [...]

This week, David and I have been trying out the big ute from VW. It has all the butchness of a pickup truck, the economy lawn mower, and the towing capacity of a tugboat. Here are a few thoughts on why we think the Amarok is the duck’s nuts. We drove it a few years ago. Here’s what we [...]

2020 BMW M4 Competition Convertible BMWs are deeply impressive cars at the best of times, but the M cars take a humbler offering, and turns it into grunty perfection. M3 goes back many decades. BMW spent millions on it, and people knew what that badge meant. For some inexplicable reason, not content with their naming [...]

2020 Audi Q5 Range including: Q5 45 TFSi Quattro Sport Review Q5 has been with us since 2017 with subtle nips and tucks along the way. It is a darling with the SUV-buying Eastern Suburbs princesses.
