So then...

Reflecting on 2023.

It's not been a bad year, but I wouldn't say it's been stellar either.

Having said that, life could be MUCH worse and there is so much pain in the world right now.

Although 2023 hasn't been awful for me, I can't help but look forward to putting this year behind me and focus on the opportunities that will present themselves for 2024.

I also look forward to working on personal growth and making consistent content for the channel again.

I hope to do more road trips, meet more like minded people and get out in to the car community more.

It's a shame new car reviews are pretty much dead, BUT it gives me the challenge/opportunity to make different content, which I think can only be healthy for the channel and should avoid tedium.

For those that have endured the patchy content this and have been patient, thank you very much. NEW content will come, I just need to bank some videos, which I'm doing well; I currently have 5 videos to edit but I want to add more before I re-launch the channel.

Happy New Year in advance, let's f***ing smash 2024.

Ever since I stumbled on I've enjoyed their designs as well as the quality. I order a few more bits last week, and pleased with delivery today. The company is going through a transition period and I hope it sticks around.

Their shop is closed for now, but here is some examples of their work. For some reason the picture of the 99 Octane T shirt came out blurry so couldn't use it but you get the idea.

I didn't take as many photos as I should have done yesterday 😅. My bad, I was more focused on filming. In case you don't know, I LIVED in the new for 24 hours! Video will come soon and although it's going to be a labour intensive edit I'm excited to see the final outcome.

Big up to for the first pic, which will also be the thumbnail.

In my 24 hours I slept in the car park if the Goodwood Heath Club 😅, had breakfast at (thanks for coming to the car to order and then deliver the food), went to for the first time in years and also had constant frustrations with the UK charging infrastructure 🤦. What did I learn about the car?

You'll have to wait for the video 😉.
