Yep it’s true the epic fletchmobile has gone. I’ve had a fine old couple of years with the beast but since I barely ever need to drive anywhere it wasn’t worth the old-car upkeep. Time for something newer that needs less looking after and that I don’t have to worry about when I dump it [...]

OK. When I’ve sold the six I’m most likely going to buy one of these: Fulfills all my criteria. It’s as quick than the six (in fact it’s quicker), a bit unusual, it’ll kick ass on the summer roadtrips and also doing what I do most which is zooming up to the Cotswolds, Bolton and [...]

On the way back from cambridge this weekend we did “a big shop” at Waitrose as I think I mentioned and whilst looking for a parking space came across this brilliant bastard!! It took me zero time to park next to it and the owner was already out and checking out the six as I [...]

In the second low-cost zero-effort embed-a-youtube-video post of the week, may I present you with Danny MacAskill performing some quality moves on a trails bike. Whilst a tiny part of me just wants to yell “buy a bmx!” the size of some of these drops are enormous, it’s almost like parkour on a bike. Haven’t [...]

The X6 and X5 are getting M versions. These have the potential to be complete monsters! Which is good for a couple of reasons. People have enormous downers on 4×4′s, the X3 and the X5 induce even more hatred becuase they’re BMW and therefore driven by arseholes. The X6 is hated further still becuase even [...]

Seriously.. what exactly are motorcyclists expecting? Supposedly it’s the unexpected, well not today. The M4 starts off as a two lane motorway and at 7.20AM it’s usually busy. Thankfully I only have to use it for one junction so the 12mph crawl only takes a few minutes, in fact it’s the last real “obstacle” on [...]

Update! The photos are up in the gallery! Well, we made it to Split and I’m currently uploading a trimmed set of photos (still amounts to 408!) whilst sat in my pants back in DJ Towers, London. Will put some of the highlights on Facebook thought it’s definitely worth flicking through here for some hidden [...]

Phase one of the overhaul took place at the weekend and DESPITE a shitload of rain I managed to get some painting done. What you see from the front are the RACING STRIPES and the silhouettes of myself and Cook! So far the interior has advanced a bit but the full-monty effect is yet to [...]

Recently Aaron has been driving his seven series like he stole it because everyone else had better cars. Being labelled the “support vehicle” on long distance trips didn’t help and I have to admit there have been a couple of occastions where I’ve taken considerable pleasure pointing out that he’s got the car with the [...]

Well the time has come and since I’m picking it up tomorrow I think it’s only fair that you get to see team 2ManyJDs Ramshackle Rally car for 2008! Yep, inkeeping with the fleet, it’s a big old Beamer! The beast may have 180K Miles on the clock but she’s an absolute stonker and after [...]
