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 [...]

SO! That familiar feeling has returned, it’s been creeping up for a while and then the other day I caught myself scouring Pistonheads *with intent* and it hit me… I think I want to replace the six. It’s very hard to even write those words. The problem is what do I go for? I thought [...]

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 [...]

The beast has just passed it’s MOT with only two advisories – one of which I knew about. Great days! Last year it went in for an MOT and came back to me with an £859 bill, this year we’re alright! Over the past 12 months it’s had two new sets of wheels (with tyres), [...]

The government have been talking for a while about dropping the national speed limit down from 60 to 50MPH, they’ve also been talking about allowing councils to blanket impose a 20MPH limit in areas of their towns and cities. Today they announced a consultation into it. Seems a little excessive. The stats they quote seem [...]

This is a fairly impressive save! About the only time you’d be happy to have front wheel drive though ;)

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 [...]

Don’t get me wrong, I still **love** the current fletchmobile, it’s awesome, but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead.. always step up :-) I can definitely see this happening. Obviously ignore the gaylord plates this one’s got on it :/

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 [...]
