Parting is never easy…
Sadly the time has come to part ways with my beloved sports car. I've reached that stage of life whereby I have to appear all grown up and sensible. My 2-seater, 150bhp, 2.0l straight 6, limited edition, BMW Z3 just doesn't fit that description, no matter how much I would like it to. We've had our fun together and now it's officially on the market at a complete bargain price for any enthusiasts out there who would like to get their hands on a future classic. Goodbye old girl - I'll miss you terribly when you're gone. :(

This is a great move by Daimler (Mercedes parent company) who are already pushing the bar in electric car development by launching a model for the hi-end executive market, in the S-class range, next year. To be known as the S-400 it will be the world's first lithium-ion battery powered hybrid car. Exciting times ahead [...]
Balance. What Balance?
Those who know me will know that I've always been a passionate campaigner for the equal rights of the young, both in my youth and even now that I slip beyond technically being "young". No more so has my anger against age discrimination been shown than against the ridiculous car insurance market in Ireland. I have shouted at the locked doors of the oppressive forces that uphold this unfair market; I have taken a case before the equality tribunal against a major insurer in Ireland only to find that they were retrospectively protected by a clause in the Equal Status Act despite their unfair [...]
