Everything You Love about Cars is Disappearing, Changing, being Legislated into History. And car companies are clueless as to what to do - I'll prove that to you. So is this the end of real cars? Has the car industry left petrolheads behind? In this hilarious epic rant, I cover the full cycle of automotive prophetic doom we're facing. From electric vehicles quietly replacing the roar of petrol engines, driver aids are turning us into passengers, and once-mighty brands like Ferrari, Dodge, and Aston Martin are selling SUVs! “Dodge without a hulking great V8 is like apple pie without apples!” The automotive industry is in an identity crisis – torn between electric futures, emissions targets, and soulless cars that are more iPads on wheels than vehicles with spirit. And now, with European automakers facing fines and the looming threat of cheap Chinese cars flooding the market, driving and cars as we know them could be coming to an end. So here’s the rallying cry: Make your engines heard loud and clear! It’s time to take back the roads, one gearchange at a time. Strap in for this rant, and get ready for a full-throttle discussion on the future of cars and why petrolheads need to stand up and fight for their driving freedoms!

Are in-car subscription services and pay-per-mile charges the latest threats to our driving freedom? In this podcast with friend and fellow motoring journalist Massimo Pini, we talk about the insidious rise of in-car subscription models to make using features in the car like heated seats a subscription service. Manufacturers like BMW are considering forcing us to pay extra for features we already own. How does this compare to Pay-per-mile road user charges in restricting our rights to use our cars? Join the debate as we explore the implications of these new business practices, pay-per-mile and even ULEZ. How does this impact car owners and the future of driving? In this episode, join me and Massimo Pini while we test drive the new Nissan Qashqai in Portugal and get into a heated debate about in-car subscription services versus pay-per-mile road user charges.

Mazda is bucking trends! Check out my exclusive podcast with Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director of Mazda UK. In this interview Jeremy gives us the inside line on Mazda's bold two-pronged strategy, balancing the advancement of electric vehicles (EVs) with a continued commitment to the internal combustion engine (ICE). He explains the challenge of the ZEV Mandate (Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes Order) in the UK, requiring 22% of new cars sold to be EVs, and how Mazda will meet the demands despite only having one EV on sale for now. Turns out there's more flexibility in the ruling that we initially thought - but only for a short period! From the anticipation around new EVs, potentially including a sporty model, to continued investment and development of ICE vehicles for improved efficiency and emissions, as well as the potential of alternative fuels, this is a conversation you won't want to miss! What We Cover: - Mazda's Vision for the Future: How Mazda is innovating to embrace electric vehicles while keeping the internal combustion engine alive. - Exciting New Models: Jeremy hints at what's next for Mazda, including a potential new EV sports car - as 'Mazda will always want to be in the space occupied by the world's best-selling roadster, the MX-5'. - How AI might help to reconnect us with our cars About Jeremy Thomson: With 35 years in the automotive industry, Jeremy Thomson has been at the helm of Mazda UK as the Managing Director, steering the brand through innovative waters. His insights into the future of car manufacturing and Mazda's unique position in the industry offer a rare glimpse into the automotive world's next chapter. #Mazda #ElectricVehicles #AutomotiveInnovation #JeremyThomson #CarIndustry #EVsVsICE #MazdaEV #InternalCombustionEngine #AutoTrends #FutureCars #MazdaSportsCar #CarTechnology #SustainableDriving #AutomotiveFuture #DrivingInnovation Get my debut novel (perfect for petrolhead bookworms) 'The ULEZ Files' here https://amzn.eu/d/jhADkOt Please subscribe/follow YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/browncarguy?sub_confirmation=1 And follow all my channels https://linktr.ee/browncarguy If you enjoy my content, there are really easy ways to show your support Channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/browncarguy/join Buy me a Coffee! https://ko-fi.com/browncarguy Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/BrownCarGuy 🙏🏽☺️ Big Thanks to CraftLab (https://www.CraftLab.my) Design5IT Tom Conway-Gordon (instagram.com/tconwaygordon/) Marc Waddell (twitter.com/elocutus55) Shaheer Hakki Reza Adil (Instagram.com/Alizarde.Cigars/) Mohammed Qasim (wehms.com) Salman Hussain (instagram.com/szhus13/) TheCaffeineGTShop (caffeinegt.com) Muhammad Ali Haji (instagram.com/behindthewheel.life) Please subscribe to my channel for more videos like this - and make sure you hit the bell icon to switch on notifications. --------------------------- Brown Car Guy

In this video I catch up with my dear friend Ovais Naqvi, who a couple of years ago completed his life-long ambition to establish a world-class karting circuit in Karachi, Pakistan.

Suffice to say, they've definitely got the bug!

Join us in this inspiring video podcast as we chat with Pakistan's first female professional motoring journalist, Fariha Aftab, a trailblazer who is redefining the automotive industry in a traditionally patriarchal society. Defying societal norms, from her academic pursuit in automotive engineering to becoming a car reviewer at Pakwheels, her journey is a testament to determination and passion. We explore Fariha's inspiring story, from her initial fascination with transport and mechanical engineering to her influential role in the automotive industry. She candidly discusses the challenges and triumphs of navigating a male-dominated field, how she came to become a juror with Women's World Car of the Year Awards (WWCOTY), and her impact on empowering young girls and women in Pakistan to choose careers in automotive and journalism. We learn about Fariha's contributions to changing perceptions around women in motoring, her blog channel, and her insights into the evolving roles of women in cars and bikes, both locally and globally. This podcast is not just about cars; it's about breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and empowering a new generation.

Here's a chat with Noel Willcox, a business owner who successfully challenged TFL (Transport for London) over fines received for entering the Low Emission Zone (LEZ). Noel argued that the signage was unclear and consequently illegal, and the court agreed. Now, he's taking it a step further with potentially far-reaching consequences for the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expansion. Noel has set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his legal challenge.
