For those of you who want to enjoy the special thrill of open wheel racing cars (Formula Cars) the next logical step would be to get into Karting.   A Kart is a small single seat vehicle powered by a 100cc or a 125cc engine, depending on the class that you are joining. ..

In 1986 we joined the Mitsubishi Lancer Turbo to the 555 Hong Kong To Beijing Rally (the first half of which I covered in my column last month). This is one trip that was riddled with obstacles...

Much hay is being made these days about specific buyers’ preferences for their vehicles. Cars that cater to women, cars that cater to urban cowboys, cars that cater to active lifestylers... Heck, there are even (concept) cars that cater to pet lovers....

As 21 million students made their way to school last month, bringing many parts of the city to a grinding halt, it got me thinking that we really should have a unified vehicular volume reduction program (UVVRP) to ease up the roads a bit. Oh, we already have that, you say?

In the most recent issues, I have been writing about the need to keep the ultra fast driving on the curb so that they slow down on the streets.

Have you ever done something that you thought was all but a dream?

You could say I have a little bit of a parking problem at home. Between the Viper, the one dozen Ferraris, and the beat-up Ford truck, I don’t know where to put them anymore...

If you have ever questioned the legality of having your license confiscated by a traffic cop and had to suffer the ordeal of going down to the LTO offices in East Avenue or any of the urine-stenched halls of some neglected government building for that matter to retrieve it,..

No, this is not about my disappointment over the election results. It’s not about me being heartbroken that the majority of voters rejected the idea of competence...

This is a subject that needs to be explained to most parents or family members of young and not so young men and women who have an interest in fast cars and motorsports....

We have been a major fan of the Porsche automatic transmission systems for quite a while now...

Karting is the first grade of motorsports and will always be the best starting point for any wouldbe racer, especially if you start them young...

Back in the days when cars were purely mechanical and electrical affairs, it was practically unheard of for a Toyota to reach speeds in excess of 160kph, intended or not.

Dear Mr. President, whoever you are....

It’s been a year since this column was first published and since then I’ve spent a good amount of time explaining to flabbergasted friends what I’m doing writing for a car magazine...

<div>In the last few months there has been a rash of accident involving young drivers and unfortunately some have resulted in the worst possible consequence...</div>

<div>Further into these pages you will see something on how two completely separate groups not only work well together, they sometimes go separately in the same direction...</div>

On rare occasions when I have no choice but to go on a solo drive to where I have never been, I make sure I’m prepared. I get the exact address of my destination.

I tried to hold my piece on this one. I really did. Not that I didn’t have my own take, but I figured that the world needed another Toyota recall article like they did another Manny Villar poster. But I can’t help but feel that Toyota are ending up like the corporate version of Joshua Clottey...

With the election frenzy in full force, I can’t help but get swept into the action...

Imagine going to a movie but not being allowed to talk about it. Or watching U2 in concert but being forbidden from uploading anything to your Facebook account, much less tweet about it.

We are now in a situation where some extremely detail-oriented and product-obsessive car companies are in the spotlight because of some major recalls...

Driving skills are not something that we can just take once and forget...

A car is only as good as the ‘nut’ that’s driving it...

I address myself to our presidentiables - yes, even the nuisance candidates: Gentlemen, kindly listen up.

Is it just me or do things really break down the moment the warranty expires? It has happened to me too many times, from car to fax machine...

We were at the hallowed ground of the McLaren Technology Center in Woking, just outside of London. We were being given a rather exclusive and highly appreciated look into the inner workings of the group and the facility...

This is a common question and a very valid one: What should we look for when we are training a loved one to drive, or looking for someone to drive you and your family around?

It’s funny how people forget the biggest things that change their lives but remember the things that are dear to them...

We’ve all come across that hotshot that thinks they own the road. Annoying, to say the least, but at least we always have the option to just give way and move on once that sensible little voice in our head speaks up...

Had a nice little dinner the other night. Food was great, at least what I remember of it. I was almost literally threatened by a stare-down because I didn’t want to stay in my seat.

t is a frequently asked question, what can I do to improve my car, to make it faster on the track, handle better in the corner.

Do you remember your first time? Before you green-blooded guys and girls get any other idea on what I am going to write about, let me say that this is a very respectable motoring magazine and not your R18 mag.
