When the partially complete West Gate Bridge collapsed in October 1970, thirty-five people were killed when one of the box-girder spans collapsed while the bridge was under construction.

Oh, what a feeling!

After holding strong for months, Toyota expects to miss its global production target as the automaker capitulates to the double whammy of parts shortages and the pandemic. The shortage of semiconductors is starting to bite, with Toyota cutting worldwide production of its vehicles in February by 1,500 or 15% of...

Otis

When Louie, the medium-sized Groodle, arrived at our home in 2020, he was not quite the mini-sized dog I was expecting, but an adorable puppy nonetheless. Regardless of his size, my daughter did all the necessary research on our gorgeous puppy and ensured that he was of good breeding and...

Hot Cross Buns

It's still 12 weeks until Easter, but the hot cross buns are already on the supermarket shelves. In fact, they have been there since the day after Christmas. Of course, you always know that Christmas has ended when the hot cross buns appear.

A hot cross bun is a spiced sweet...

Tea please

It is only in recent years that I have become a tea drinker. I am not too sure why I didn’t drink tea, but I have been a rusted-on coffee drinker for many years.

Personal Best Lap Time

The Mazda MX-5 has a reputation as the most popular club motorsport vehicle in the world. I regularly compete in a sprint championship with the MX-5 Club. Sprint motorsport is a high-speed discipline where each driver sets their fastest time around a race track, with the quickest driver being declared...

Screensavers

I love the motion screensavers that my Apple TV presents, slow-moving and mesmerising videos of spectacular world scenes. Whether it is the rolling aerial video of Central Park in New York City, the underwater setting of the Big Eye Trevally off Borneo, or the flyover through the Waimmanu Valley in...

Appreciation

Appreciation is the recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something. There are so many things I am appreciative of. Where do I start?

My family come quickly to mind. Of course, my wife and daughters sit right at the top of the list of things I appreciate....

Regularity

Not all motorsport requires drivers to race door handle to door handle to win. Regularity is a form of motorsport for enthusiasts who want to compete and win, even if they are not the fastest car on the track.

Regularity events reward consistency. You don't have to have the fastest car...

Porsche Boxster

As the world of sports car manufacturers continues to embrace the SUV as a way of staying afloat, Porsche was one of the first car manufacturers to pivot with the Cayenne. However, few people know that the Boxster was the vehicle that helped save Porsche.

By the end of the last...
