McLaren 720S 2019 Review: Mild and Wild
It’s no secret that I don’t mind Woking’s machines, particularly the McLaren 720S . I’ve driven (almost) everything but the Ultimate Series cars and being stuck here in the back-end of nowhere in Australia makes that difficult. That’s okay –…
Tarmac Rallying: “Racing” a Lexus GS F
You did what in what? The haggard figure you see in that video is me nearing the end of two hard but incredibly rewarding days. I got a phone call during February asking if I would like to join the…
Ferrari 488’s Fate Is Sealed – Welcome to the F8 Tributo
The 488 is dead – long live the Ferrari F8 Tributo. Well, that’s a bit dramatic, but there you are. The time has come for Maranello to replace the wonderful 488 with the next-generation of mid-engined V8 supercar. The F8…
Ford Focus ST is Go: 200+ kW, clever slippy diff

Super-fast BMW X3 M and X4 M Announced
Well, it’s not like it wasn’t a bit obvious it would happen, but BMW has done full-fat M versions of the X3 and X4. Imaginatively, they’re called X3 M and X4. Like the X3 M40i and X4 M40i, it’s a…
Drive Against Depression Fundraiser
This is a super-quick plug for an event I’m participating in at the end of February. I’m hoping to raise at least $1000 for the brilliant charity Drive Against Depression. Read the GoFundme link for the all the details and,…
Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder

Second Opinion: 2019 Porsche Cayenne
Redline co-pilot Brendan Allen prised the Porsche Cayenne from Peter Anderson’s hands for a few days to see what the fuss is about. You’d be forgiven for letting this latest release from Porsche slip under the radar as the brand…
