Pay Per Mile & the Death of the Electric Dream - Ian Collins and Geoff LIVE on alkTV 24th May 2023
I was thrilled to be invited onto TalkTV to chat with Ian Collins about The Death of The Electric Dream and Road User Charging.
Minsters are now discussing the introduction of Pay Per Mile type schemes due to the deficit left behind with £0 rate electric car tax duty... Is this a good thing, or is this some sort of camera based dystopian nightmare? And is the Electric Dream still dreamy, or has this one soured?
Ian and Geoff discuss the ins and outs, LIVE on TalkTV on May 24th 2023

Midland Automobile Club Members Day at Shelsley Wash Hill Climb
I was invited to attend the Midland Automobile Club Members Day Hill Climb at the legendary Shelsley Wash track on Friday 12th May 2023.
Join Phil and myself in his Morgan Plus 8, plus a whole heap of other cars including a Lamborghini Huracan STO, Ferrari 488, Austin Healey, Dodge Viper, Ford Escort MK2, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Talbot Sunbeam and many, many more...
Watch as we hilariously run out of fuel at the Top S, learn from the marshalls as we chat along and commentate from the top of the track and see if we can get the Morgan up the hill faster as the day goes on.
It's an action packed full length documentary style video, so make yourself a brew, sit back and enjoy!

250 mile TOPLESS CHALLENGE - SLK Road Trip to Citroen Heaven
Join me for a long form video as I take the Mercedes-Benz SLK on a 250 mile round trip during the wettest May in living memory. How many times will I have to pop the roof on and off during the adventure, will the car make it, will it drink all the petrol, will the citizens of 'that bit up near north Wales that's sort of still in England' cause me to lose my rag and what's in store for us on arrival? We'll be taking a quick peek at a very eclectic collection of cars before turning round and heading home - rain or shine! #RoadTrip #CarReview #Mercedes
