Car Dealer Magazine Review 2021 Author Elise | 19th April 2021 By Niamh Smith We are familiar with the used car salesman stereotype; pushy, sleazy and sometimes crooked. Cigar in mouth, oversized suit and luring you into their forecourt with a giant, blue, inflatable dancing man and some garish bunting. In reality, the used car industry isn’t like that anymore, and it hasn’t been for quite a while. Nowadays, the majority of professionals in car sales are exactly ... View
Top Gear Magazine Review 2021 Author Elise | 29th March 2021 By Niamh Smith When you think of British automotive entertainment, I’m sure your mind, like anyone else’s, goes to three idiots and a tame racing driver reviewing, driving and discussing some of the finest (and far from finest) vehicles from all over the world. This is because Top Gear has continually been one of Britain’s most-loved and well-known automotive related franchises since 1977, even despite a year-long ... View
Fast Car Magazine Review 2021 Author Elise | 5th March 2021 By Niamh Smith A quick visit to Fast Car Magazine’s website shows their logo, emblazoned in red, with the tagline ‘defining car culture’.

Car and Classic Review—Magazine and Website Review 2021 Author Elise | 20th January 2021 By Niamh Smith What annoys me about classic car magazines is that it’s all too easy to only celebrate the perfect concours examples or the nut and bolt restorations that the owner will have a breakdown if you so much look at the car. Don’t get me wrong, it’s important to have pride in a vehicle that you’ve put a lot of time, effort and money ... View
Auto Express Car Magazine Review Author Elise | 8th January 2021 By Jamie Wills Many motoring magazine publishers live under a class delusion. They imagine their readers reside in a Hampshire pile and go to work in a Jaguar F-Type. They foresee city boys buying a 911 Carrera. They appeal to enthusiasts who own a separate garage in which to undertake a five-year Chevy Camero restoration project. Reality for many, of course, is cheaper. Whilst a feature may ... View
Classic Cars Magazine Review 2020 Author Elise | 11th December 2020 By Niamh Smith I remember dragging my parents to the magazine aisle of Tesco’s when I was a kid, to flick through the Volkswagen magazines. I was THAT kid who took Volksworld into secondary school to read on my lunch break (and I distinctly remember doing a slideshow presentation on my parents 1972 campervan, Dorothy, in year 7). Thankfully, as I grew up, my taste expanded and ... View
CAR Magazine Review—Muscle Car UK Review Author Elise | 4th December 2020 By Jamie Wills There was a time when Top Gear was about cars. Chris Goffey would drive something sensible, and Quentin Willson would discuss the UK second hand car market. Jeremy Clarkson would throw a bucket of similes at an expensive toy, and then Tony Mason would do some rallying. All bases were covered. CAR magazine’s website is this version of Top Gear. Unlike its print edition, ... View
