Another week has flashed by and I've dug up some primo weekend content to watch during the ads on the Bathurst 1000 if you're too cheap to have Kayo or Foxtel (like me). Scotty's Corvette video looks pretty good, we've got an
Car companies are slurping your data (who knew?), me on the radio talking about that and making people mad, hot hatch rivals shake hands on track, a new VW camper is out, more utes going PHEV and a gorgeous new French electric hatchback Just over a year after the Mozilla
Joining us here at The Redline for the first time is the ineffably brilliant Scotty Newman. Also known as Addicted To Sliding on Instagram and YouTube, Scott is an incredibly fast driver and has driven some of the wildest cars on Earth. Many of you will know him from the
Consumer advice is kind of what we do here (kind of?) so we'll start with a story about the roads in Australia with the most speed cameras. I live within 3km of five of the things, so it's a story close to my heart. We'
It barely makes my top ten. There are so many other stupid rules in Formula 1 and they're fundamentals, not details. After the Singapore Grand Prix, British motorsport media went into the usual meltdown when one of their brave little boys had something taken away from him. Daniel
Another week in the bag, another bunch of videos to watch. This week we have a drifter-in-training, motorsport cheating, a V10 people mover and the story of Group B rallying. YouTuber Benny Surge seems keen on binning his car in the Nasho (in-joke for Facebook group purveyors of amusingly crashed
This is the coffee part of Cars - Coffee - Travel. First review of a cafe, so it's probably terrible but hey, it's a start. Also let me know if you want my coffee map of Hong Kong if ever you are going there. Tucked away
Cars. Travel. Coffee.
Last week I wrote about how private equity dimwits have caused a dramatic upheaval in large, well-known automotive YouTube channels. This week, it's the third part of the puzzle. In the first instalment, we got to the bit where Top Gear was handed over to Chris Evans for
It's been quite a week, hasn't it? For this weekend, you can sit back and watch the story of the Ford GN34, a clickbait EV trackday video, a question about whether Alpine was the way to go for Renault, a McMurtry fan car, some Antipodean rarities
Today we've got a chat with Ford's global boss, me being an attention whore, the first Australian reviews of the Polestar 3, news of Ferrari's first EV and talk of the Ford Bronco coming to Australia. CAR's Phil McNamara talks to Ford
Last week I wrote about the beginning and middle of televised car shows like Top Gear and The Grand Tour. Part 2 of a series on the end of the car show on television (and prestige streaming) takes a quick detour on the upheaval in automotive YouTube. So this part
Weekend Watches is a pick of mostly longer-form videos to settle in with. This week it's the history of the 911 GT3 RS, the Ford F150 Lightning in Australia, the new Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster, a Holden Piazza barn find (in America...!) and every MX-5 rated. James Pumphrey'
Another EV brand has entered the Australian chat, Toyota is entering the Australian racing series Supercars, new Camry hybrid is here, as is the new Mustang. Also a chat with a Cupra high up about betting the house on EVs and Alpine's new SUV spied. Another Chinese EV
An interesting week with Hyundai teaming up with GM to make, move and research stuff, a tasty 968 Sport for sale in Queensland, a new Lotus concept car, some awesome new stickers on Etsy and a bonkers farewell to the Hemi V8. Note: for some reason not all the links
This time a decade ago, Top Gear was riding incredibly high having already been on air for twelve years. The show was going from strength to strength, trying new things, tweaking the format, increasing budgets but staying loyal to BBC2 despite its second-string reputation. An ill-fated Australian version had come
This week it's another Porsche but not really because it's a Singer, some Soviet Ladas in Finland, two Germans in French cars in Scotland and a V10 Nissan 240Z. Chris Harris and Singer Chris Harris, likely fresh from Joe Rogan's podcast studio (give me
This week's Links We Like includes a new Australian site called Retro Rides, a curious case of the shy EV maker, a rocket ship Ariel for sale, a couple of classics reborn (or at least sorted out in one case) and a fascinating glimpse into what an American
The VW Group's first proper EV in Australia wasn't – as expected – the ID.3 but the rather cooler Spanish off-shoot's Cupra Born. In a way, the Born is the ID.3, just not the one we were expecting. The Cupra brand was launching here
September 9 is World EV Day so I thought I'd write something that's been on my mind for while. Over the past few months, a narrative has developed in the media that electric car sales are slowing. As a regular on ABC Radio Sydney, talkback callers
