I have created this newsletter as a hub for everything motor-related: from captivating pictures and the latest news to intriguing products and accessories that catch my eye.
Rather than a narrow focus on a particular automotive niche, this newsletter takes a broad view of what's out there - things that are interesting, cool, and informative. My tastes range from classic cars and hotrods to mopeds and vans, and I often delve into the artistic and fashion aspects associated with these realms.
If you're ready for an eclectic journey through my automotive passions, I invite you to sign up and let's embark on this adventure together.
News.
The most stolen car of 2023 in the UK! The Ford Fiesta was the most stolen car of the year according to the DVLA. 5,976 Fiestas were reported stolen last year - that's one every 88 minutes! One reason suggested was that as they are no longer produced they have become popular with criminals looking to break them down for parts. |
Bad news for Polestar the electric car manufacturer ! According to a news report Volvo are pulling financial support for the company and trying to offload shares. The EV market seems to have hit a pothole in the road as buyer interest is fading and cheap imports from China are making life difficult for European and American EV producers |
