It all started with a Matchbox Aston Martin

Politics and Morality

Some hot air on the ethical issue of airbags Ah, Mr Bond – we weren’t expecting you to do that Jesus Christ – the way that bloke drives is beyond belief This man’s driving like an idiot – he must be starving Welsh, the mystical and ancient language of road signs Some blue-chip bullshit from the marketing men For Pete’s sake go out and catch some rapists Buying a house? Buy a car instead How the men of Britain betrayed themselves The people’s crisp, plus a fairly popular car Kicked in the nuts by a car maker The old of today – no respect for their youngers Germany invades – ring church bells and put the kettle on Charity begins in the car Cycle your way to Armageddon Not drowning but driving Never raced or rallied, no famous owners. Good.

Questions of Style

The Art of Driving

Wanted: graduate trainee to work as punchbag Turn on, tune in, bugger me if it isn’t The Archers I can drive a Ferrari because I’m light on my feet All you need to know when driving in France Sheep – a waste of good wool A bad case of motorway madness The journey’s only just started and I’ve eaten all my sweets Puff Daddy, a man who can take his car to the limit Now is the winter of our utter uselessness Learning to drive at the cutting edge The soft underbelly of the driver is horribly exposed A lifetime in the company of Jonathan Palmer One day I, too, will be an Ancient Briton I met my grandpa on a dark night in the West Country All you need to know when driving in France, part II Lost in the infinite space of a hotel lobby All you need to know when driving in France, part III

The Ownership Issue

Racing to the car-care counter improves the breed If you like to gamble, baby, I’m your man Land Rover – as old as the hills. That’s how it should be. Tools – two of them Got a garage? You’ll need somewhere to park the car. What the motor industry could learn from music Dangerous dogs maul man’s car-buying budget The busy man’s guide to buying an old Porsche How Porsche ruined the 911, by a bloke with an old one I put my money where my mouse is and bought a pup Love for sale – price includes Lexus Dead cars and dead poets – dead scary business Everything you need to know about the ***** _ ***** ***** Aluminium commodity collapses with dire results Ask me an honest question – everyone else does The best car in the world – but don’t get excited Too many cars spoil life’s minestrone The wages of sin are not enough for a new Porsche Cornish separatist mounts assault on car upholstery Free lightbulb with every new Porsche No options is the only option

The Great Transport Debate

Motorway services – is this an oxymoron or what? The train now departing from my bedroom This precious car, set in a silver sea A right merry ding-dong with two car magazines We all live in a world of yellow margarine And you thought other car magazines were boring Your mother should know, but on this occasion doesn’t

The Dull Red Glow of Technology

Where we will be driving when I’m dead The lavatory and its role in the history of motoring Some thoughts on driving electric cars A gentleman does not drive a diesel The noise that annoys And lo, the future of the motor industry was revealed Two pints of lager and a small hatchback, please Not so much a clock as a sign of the times The glorious uselessness of internal combustion
