Hyundai Inster is useful, practical and fun to drive - unlike most EVs, which are generally oversized tanks and a massive drain on resources.

Durst make the best battery testers available - here in Australia. Here's what makes them the best.

They call it the 'New Vehicle Efficiency Scheme' - but it's really just another tax on Australian car buyers.

I recently spent a couple of weeks driving the Cannon Alpha Plug-in Hybrid Ute - here are the 10 things you'll hate about it

I recently drove the Cannon Alpha PHEV for a couple of weeks. Here are the 10 things you'll love about it.

This could be my least cinematic video ever - but it is literally a deep-dive into one of the most interesting - and different - utes on the market. I jam the Cannon Alpha PHEV up on a hoist, and we take a look at what's really going on 'down there' - by analysing its engineering fundamentals.

Ford Ranger Super Duty is amazingly over-hyped - like, it's half a tonne heavier than a standard Ranger, and 30kW less powerful.

The caravan industry is the wild, wild west of consumer conduct, in my view - so it'll be interesting to see how this lawsuit plays out. When is an off-road van really not an off-road van?

BYD does pretend to be squeaky clean, but just beneath the veil, they hate criticism just as much as any other car company. They're even prepared to pay you - handsomely - to rat out any critics you discover. (It's the opposite of committing to free speech.)

BYD Australia has rocketed into the top 10 carmakers list (by sales) and has appointed a former Honda Australia executive to run the show.

As we sprint headlong to net zero, it seems we're not getting the details right - a hypothesis this crisis on the high seas appears to support. EVs pose specific fire risks, and regulators appear not to care or support appropriate countermeasures.

In this episode I interview John Kett,the COO of GWM in Australia. The company has been here 17 years, incredibly, and is comfortably in the top 10 carmakers by sales in Australia (just behind Mitsubishi). Three Chinese carmakers are in the top 10 at this stage (the other two are MG and BYD).

In this episode I take a look at why 'net zero' is pretty much a fantasy.

In this video I answer the following viewer question on heavy towing:I'm trying to see through all the negativities that us Australians seem to pile on any product that comes out of China. I have to admit I'm finding myself joining the masses of flinging shit at everyone and everything these days. But I like the GWM Canon Alpha PHEV!!! And I'm not embarrassed to say I want one and I do...

After decades of life-support, South Korean shot-callers will strap Ssangyong ‘Straya into old sparky, on the morrow, whence it will be lit up, and then resurrected, kinda like Jesus, and henceforth be known as KGM AustraliaKGM Australia's first major achievement, tomorrow, will be to launch a glorious new slogan - where would we be without those? “Korean built to last.” With no punctuation, b...

In this video I respond to the best comments on the channel over the past month.

Hyundai Australia says it's getting a ute - finally. The Hyundai ute options are: One: Hyundai’s Mighty Boy - the Tucson-based Santa Cruz, which is too small and would be outrageously overpriced here. Two: They could attempt to re-badge the Tasman. (This is gunna be their preferred option, surely, because it’s the only available ute in the same segment as Hilux, Ranger, et. al.)Just a few mino...

Chinese battery manufacturer, Sungrow, has never had a thermal runaway of an operationally deployed battery. I went to China to find out why.

My mate Adam Morris from ReDriven - https://www.youtube.com/@ReDriven - is a self-confessed kei truck fan-boy. He gushes. (It's that dignified...) So, he recently got jammed into the 400kW RAM 1500 Limited for some reorientation therapy. I'm not sure it was entirely consensual, but hey...ReDriven's excellent kei truck review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFOUOFIda5QAnd the earlier S...

This is a technical deep-dive with Toyo about EV tyre replacement

This video is a technical deep-dive into modern engine oils and filters, aimed at the home car maintenance DIY-er.

My mate Brett from Driving Enthusiast - https://www.youtube.com/@drivingenthusiastaustralia - dropped by the Fat Cave today, and since we both recently tested the same RAM 1500 Laramie Sport, we went for a spin and rolled a GoPro while we talked about it. This car is one of the most under-rated utes in the market - it tows heavy, it accelerates fast, and it's abundantly luxurious, as well as p...

My mate Brett from Driving Enthusiast - https://www.youtube.com/@drivingenthusiastaustralia - dropped by the Fat Cave with a Ranger Sport Loaner, so we went for a spin and rolled a GoPro while we talked about it. It's pretty impressive from a platform, dynamics, ergonomics and powertrain perspective. But it is quite expensive, and my reservations about Ford's product support and long-term reliabil...
