Things always look different at night.

The Prius dashboard has a nice ambience about it.

The Brighton i360 looks like a space penis.

Today I'm racing around in a Prius. Trolley dash in a B&M: CHECK.

Being nerdy and reading the owners hsnd book. Nothing exciting about that parcel shelf?? I've got an idea (more another time) and something does read right about this.

A Neon has been found. They weren't bad cars but l wasn't a fan of that cab forward design.

I read the title for this and thought "nah mate, a kitchen and bed are what you EXPECT in a campervan"

However, if that rear unit is the kitchen, I'd want my money back. The children's A La Cart Kitchen looks more impressive.

I went for a play in Honda's Important car that wasn't powered by a lawnmower engine.

I didn't know Nissan offered a funeral conversion for its dead quiet Leaf.

And what l want to know is, what the fuck is Coffin Spray?

Always thought it was a total travesty when the hinges rear plate on a Mini was deleted

One of those novel features that would amuse me.

It's about 6 minutes of me rambling on and then 11 of the brochure.

I had a lot to say. Welcome to the Daihatsu Compagno. Filmed at Toyota's new MEC.

Playing with 3 Fiat 850's. All making a bold grab at my heart. And all with unique little delicious details.

Which one would l take home? That's tricky. I'm still unsure.

Words to appear in Auto Italia magazine.

I'm out with Auto Italia magazine tomorrow doing something that's going to be quite exciting for me.

Looking at facelifts and despite a love for pop-ups, the 84-93 Dodge Daytona was ruined with its 87 facelift.

This is still one of the BEST closing lines of any film. Christine.

From the archives of fancy dress, someone said my Franke N Furter looked more like Anita Dobson.

Happy Halloween. Don't have nightmares.

Well this one could be the one for you. A friend is selling it, so l went for a spin.

Are the Coronel brothers ok?

Haven't seen them on this platform and I'm worried. Worried who they are daily following and unfollowing?

Well that's a first.....but l might try it.

Going a bit VW T2 crazy this week.

If you like VW's little Baywindow wagon, you may like what I've got coming up.

*EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES

Junction 28 of the M25 in Essex opened the final bit of on-road construction - a brand-new free flow loop road.

For anyone travelling from the M25 anticlockwise to the A12 eastbound, you can now skip the roundabout completely.

I pull out all the stops with this.

Well, it's actually the dial tool but it was quite fascinating to see.
