Japanese Cars and Car Modifications

Mike Brewer There’s something about fast Japanese cars that really turns me on! Don’t get me wrong I’m not about to start wearing my baseball cap backwards and listening to Snoop Dawg sing the virtues of the fast and the furious, but a saloon car with big bolt on bits and massive alloys sitting on rubber band tires floats my boat.

Refinement - The Lexus ISC250C

Mike Brewer Refinement, what does it feel like? Having high tea at the Ritz hotel, that’s refined. Having a beach side massage in the Caribbean, that too. Being chauffeured in the back of a Limo to go to a red carpet premiere, refined.

Car companies for years have tried to capture that feeling of refinement, some have it in their DNA without even trying - Mercedes, Jaguar, Rolls Royce. Others have to work at it - VW, Audi, BMW. With them it just doesn’t happen by chance, they spend billions on putting refinement in their cars.

Let's Take a Cab

A taxi car Next time you’re on a night out, spare a thought for the taxi driver that’s likely to drive you home! Being a taxi driver is hard work not only do you have to put in long hours; you have to deal with people singing in your ear and chucking up in the back of your cab.

I Love a Scrap!

A scrap metal car I’ve met so many people recently that want to take advantage of the government’s scrappage scheme; it’s not a bad deal, £2000 for your old banger on a spanking new motor sounds brill in any language. However, don’t expect the niceties that you used to get from a dealer, like extra mats, full tank of squirt, and a bunch of daffs for the old lady!

How to Get a Car for Free

Mike shaking hands with a car salesman I’ve had a car buying frenzy lately, first it was the 10 Mazda MX5’s that I bought for Mazda UK, then all the cars for the current series of Wheeler Dealers, and now to take advantage of the governments generosity for company car users I’ve just gone and bought my first new car!

Feeling Like A Spare Part!

Spare parts by MyLifeStory / Flickr It’s been another tough week! More cars to buy, more late night filming and more workshop woes! Both me and Edd are really getting tired with the amount of jobs that are pilling up in the workshop...

We have been getting wrong parts sent and I’ve had to resort to hitting the road to get what we need. This week I visited a spares centre in the Midlands that are doing a roaring business even in these hard times.

The Meanest Classic Car In The World - Bentley Arnage in Dubai

The Bentley logo I was back in Dubai over Easter, not to bronze my rotund torso but to do some promotional work for Gardx and Discovery. Like the last time I was there my friends at Bentley Emirates kindly furnished me with a tasty motor.

Electric Potty - Are Eco Cars Really Green?

Electric_mini (Credit: Flickr/Brian Snelson) I see Lord Mandleson on the box, grabbing a photo opportunity with a new electric MINI, the government announced a £5,000 gift to anyone buying an electric vehicle, but Mandy was seen driving the MINI, a tempting little motor that if I could plug into my house even I’d consider. But, what they failed to tell us is that the MINI isn’t on sale in the UK yet! And nobody knows when it will be.
