This is pretty much the opposite of an eco-post. Sorry about that, I promise I'll touch on the environmental side of the story before the end. We bought a big massive Isuzu D-Max in June 2019. Honestly, I was really quite sceptical, especially as the truck is "my" car. Here she is, Talulah the Truck… Continue reading Reasons to Have a Truck
We've had a car disaster. Well, it could have been worse. No one is injured and nothing's broken, no crash and no emergency services have been involved. However, while watching junk TV last night, himself and I heard a weird click. This was followed a couple of minutes later by the alarm on himself's Focus… Continue reading Car disaster
It feels like we're only just back from our France holiday and we've packed up again, loaded the car, strapped on the bikes and set off to Silverstone. I'm going to semi-live report on our progress and antics throughout the weekend. We were last here for the WEC in 2019. How much has happened since… Continue reading Silverstone Classic 2022
The Le Mans 24 hours race takes place at the Circuit de la Sarthe this weekend (11-12 June 2022). The experience watching from home is rather odd - no crowds, no smoke from the campsite barbecues wafting around, and of course the whole atmosphere is missing. We managed to get invested in 2020 and last… Continue reading Le Mans 24 Hours 2022: Our Picks
The delayed Le Mans 24 hours race takes place at the Circuit de la Sarthe this weekend (21-22 August 2021). We missed it in June and the experience watching from home is rather odd - no crowds, no smoke from the campsite barbecues wafting around, and of course much more racing in darkness in August… Continue reading Le Mans 24 Hours 2021: Our Picks
We recently said goodbye to our second Subaru Impreza. Himself has had a long history of affection for scoobies, so he's going to help write this post. He's a self-confessed petrolhead, long since a member of various web forums, lover of Top Gear and The Grand Tour, huge consumer of motor racing autobiographies, and if… Continue reading Scooby Memories
Does that sound a bit ridiculous? Well, I would have said so too until himself suggested that since its half term and large boy is almost 9 and the clocks went back so it's not such a late night, would large boy like to stay up and watch Top Gear with us this week. A… Continue reading Rite of passage: Watching Top Gear
The delayed Le Mans 24 hours race takes place at the Circuit de la Sarthe this weekend (19-20 September 2020). We missed it in June and the experience this weekend has been rather odd - no crowds, no smoke from the campsite barbecues wafting around, and of course much more racing in darkness in September… Continue reading Le Mans 24 Hours 2020: Our Picks
This summer our planned expedition to deepest darkest France, meant to be like last year, was cancelled. Instead, we headed to bonny Scotland where we learned many things about travelling with kids in bad weather. When I say bad I mean it poured. We were soaked to the skin on more than one occasion. Sure… Continue reading 9 Things learnt on a wet holiday
