Fly me to the moon
For around AU$1 million plus, you too could own a flying car. With a real-life flying car completing its first-ever test flight, and various car manufactures discussing the reality of taking to the skies, the UK-based Pentagon Motor Group decided to research actual costs for future ownership. The company analysed the […]
Bentley takes flight
The Bentley Flying Spur W12 is not so much a car, but more of a stately home on wheels. Your average imitation of Sandringham House or Balmoral doesn’t however fly on the roads like this does. Thanks to Bentley Auckland, I was given the chance to experience the first […]
A refreshing highlander
For some, a Highlander is a rugby player from the deep south, to others, an 80s fantasy film starring Sean Connery. To Toyota, a Highlander is a mid-sized SUV, and a big seller. For 2021, the Highlander has been refreshed for the fourth time, with a recent launch in […]

Big seven-to-eight-seater luxo SUVs are fast becoming the cash cow of many automotive brands. This is the Palisade, Hyundai’s spearhead at this segment. The turbo diesel engine in my Limited felt very strong and eager to get going. Keep it between 1600 and 4000rpm, and you make brisk progress despite […]
Size doesn’t matter
It’s not often I get taken off guard but my visit to Avon City Ford to pick up the Ford Puma, ST line, had me scratching my head. Sam Baker and I were going over the top things about the vehicle when out came the words: “It’s a one litre, three-cylinder engine…” […]
