Robin tests and laps the BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition

The most recent BMWs have gone adrift of the companies beloved core values: quick, connected, and communicative machinery. But the M3 remained a hold out, due largely to its last generation chassis architecture. As a last hurrah, BMW built the Lime Rock Park Edition M3. A brilliant, more hard edged M3 that really hustles. I genuinely love the thing.

When push comes to shove, I prefer my more raw and passionate E46 M3, but you cannot deny the clinical goodness of the LRP car. And the engine, oh the engine!

Robin drives and tests the Aston Martin Rapide S

Few companies in the world command stature like Aston Martin. The name conjures up images of grace, power, and elegance. The Rapide S, their four-door, is shockingly beautiful. This is a sedan! Take your kids to school, go to the market, carry luggage, and stop traffic. Name another sedan that manages that?

Do faster cars exist, definitely. In fact, from a data driven mindset, this car doesn’t keep up. Look further however and incredible intangibles appear.

This car makes my heart sing. What else matters?

Robin drives the Jaguar XJR

The Formula 1 season drew to a close last week, sadly. But we’re here to keep you entertained! Recently I got a chance to spend sometime in the Jaguar XJR and I loved the thing! Looked great, sounded fierce, yet maintained its elegance. Well done Jaguar!
