Sarah Millican is appearing in theatres all over the UK, and I managed to catch her at GLive in Guildford for a wonderful night of ribald laughter. Millican is in fart popping, expletive laden style in her new show “Control Enthusiast”. She exposes ours and her personal foibles with endearing frankness, often accompanied by little ...
The local elephants often stroll past the South Luangwa (Zambia) office in the mornings. As soon as we hear a certain kind of rustling of the trees outside, we know elephants are around. It always gets us excited; the whole Kapani team rushes outside to watch the parade of these giant animals past the Safaris ...

My eyeballs shook so violently the natural reaction was to close them, but nothing was going to stop me seeing this extraordinary experience. At the same time I just thought thank goodness they are my own teeth otherwise I would have swallowed them. Mind you it took a couple of hours before they stopped making ...

To achieve its goals Lexus used innovative construction, engineering and materials and tested the roof to breaking point, far beyond what might be expected in day-to-day use by ...
I recently attended the launch of a revolutionary hypercar built for the 21st century by a new company called Czinger. In their own words: ‘Czinger represents the pinnacle of automotive engineering, innovation, automotive art and technology-based design.’ In 1916 Cadillac produced the type 53. This is considered to be the first car to use the ...
The Bentley Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase is an extraordinary car. It weighs 2.7 tonnes and is 5.8 metres long. Yet it actually goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds. What the hell? Well, it has a 6 litre twin-turbo V8 with 505 bhp and 752 lb.ft of torque. That’s sufficient to put you ahead in ...

The brochure states a top speed of 150 mph and 0-62 takes 6 seconds, so it’s certainly not slow. Cayenne coupe starts at around £62,000 and ...
The Ferrari Portofino is a retractable hard top convertible with supermodel looks and performance to match, aimed at Ferrari first time buyers. The exterior is curvaceous, muscly and taut, the wall poster supercar. Particularly in the Ferrari Rosso paint which adds glossy depth to the sheen, like the veneer on a priceless antique. This triumph ...
Kia describes the Stinger as: a halo performance model. They say It is a GT car and not a hard edged sports car. I read a very cool quote from chief designer Gregory Guillaume (Gee-ome) which said: “the Stinger has nothing to do with being first to arrive. This car is all about the journey. ...
We’ve had the new Toyota Supra for a week of fun and misbehaving. Toyota has created quite a dramatic car in the new Supra in more ways than one. Our test car has been the GR Pro which means it’s the top model. It has the 3.0L straight-six engine which produces 335hp and 500Nm of ...
