Why the world isn’t ready for electric cars.

If you want change, do it so that we don't notice. As we've entered a new decade not too long ago, we unsurprisingly find ourselves in what appears to be the end of the universe; the final instalment of the world war trilogy is soon to premiere, an entire continent has burnt down or whatever,...

What are you getting your car for Christmas?

Soon enough, millions of families across the world will be celebrating what for many of them is the best day of the year, children will be clawing at wrapping paper in hope of revealing the latest games console or toy, parents will be making the most of the only day of the year upon which...

How do cheap car manufactures make money?

If you've ever compared the models that both Volkswagen and Skoda can offer you, you most likely found that by choosing the latter, you'd save a bit of money on what is effectively the same car. Really, they obviously won't tell you this and would possibly rather I didn't tell you but tough, they're probably...

I love small cars, but not for any practical reason.

A few days back I found myself driving a Vauxhall Corsa; a car which I despise to my very core. Finished with an interior that would be more exciting if it were inspired by a PowerPoint presentation on tax, a vaguely interesting name in an attempt to ensure that the car wouldn't be completely forgettable...

Motorhubs is now on DriveTribe!

Have you ever done something that you've wanted to do for a long time but you spent all those months or years putting it off? Maybe it was asking someone you fancy out, or taking up a new sport, or adopting a real life unicorn. (Ok maybe that last one is just me, but you...

Highlights from the London Motor show.

Whenever I am asked "What did you do in the weekend?" I can't help but to feel rather awkward, because 99.99% of the time, my answer is something along the lines of "I did a bit of baking, nothing interesting really." Before I remember that the questioner has just heard a repeat of the exact...

“AdBlue” blues.

The other day, I was tasked with refilling a Volkswagen diesel using a substance known as "Adblue". As mechanical chores go, this a relatively simple one (to some degree at least). Easy enough to explain the process of doing so in this article without it sounding like a meeting with SpaceX. On this particular Volkswagen,...

Past and Furious: Speed across the decades, Part 2.

In the last part of this article, I explained how some of the fastest road going cars of the past few decades earned themselves a valuable place in the history of speed. In this post, I will look at the milestone of the 1980s; when the first production cars went past 200 MPH, before exploring...

Past and Furious: Speed across the decades, Part 1.

With the upcoming Rimac C_Two set to be the most powerful and one of the fastest production cars in history, I decided to take a look back at some of the fastest cars throughout the last few decades and just how they achieved their extraordinary speed. With so many models and explanations on what gave them...

The eternal destruction of internal combustion.

  If you read my last post, you may remember I explained that petrol heads and motor enthusiasts in general are becoming extinct and that I listed a few of the reasons on why this is happening. I believe that this is what motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson refers to as "The relentless war on speed."...
