So 2018 has come to an end and like many of people I’m feeling a little introspective. I guess it’s probably quite natural to feel this way as one year ends and another begins but I thi…

A few months back I parted ways with my old Mercedes and I’m not ashamed to say it utterly broke me. This was a car that I’d driven for years, something I’d fought tooth and nail …
