  • Karting, spannering and a Lexus with a yoke
    Mar 24 2023

    This week, Alistair has driven the new electric Lexus RZ, which has a yoke instead of a steering wheel.

    Meanwhile, George has been working on his cars to varying degrees of success, and reports back from his first karting race of the 2023 season. His team, The Luton Birdwatchers, had good pace, but were let down by a loose helmet strap and a driver comms system mistakenly tuned to receive travel updates from the local radio station.

    They also chat about Formula One and what cars they'd buy with a £90,000 lottery win.

  • Drifting Jaguars on a frozen lake with the JLR Ice Academy
    Mar 16 2023

    In this special episode Alistair and George head to Arjeplog in northern Sweden to experience the Jaguar Ice  Academy. There, they took part in an entire day of driving activities in the Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and electric I-Pace, all on a frozen lake with world-class driving instructors.

    The next day, they went dog sledding and drove to the Arctic Circle in a V8 Range Rover Sport, which is actually less adventurous than it sounds.

    The Ice Academy takes place between January and March each year, and the 2024 season is available to book now https://www.jaguar.co.uk/experience-jaguar/ice-academy-sweden/index.html

  • Ineos Grenadier review, Lottery win cars pt.2 and a Rolls-Royce on ice
    Feb 12 2023

    This week, Alistair drives the Ineos Grenadier in the Scottish Highlands and George's MG Maestro gets its YouTube debut with the HubNut channel.

    It's also part two of the lottery wins challenge, and with a budget of £24,000 there are plenty of options to considering, from V12 Aston Martins and BMW 7-Series, to a replica Lotus Cortina and, for some reason, a Hummer H2.

    Lastly, Alistair visits Dynisma, a company in Bristol that claims to have built the world's best driving simulator. He drives an F1 car around Spa – and a Golf over a cobbled road – to put it to the test.
