Deep Ruts. Endless Gates. One Sensible Decision. I take the INEOS Grenadier ‘laning in the Dales.

Here's my Toyota Hilux review - enjoy!

Deux Smurf is such a poser!

So, the Kia Sportage has been returned - hopefully my review will be out by weekend. My next press car isn't till next month, and that's the Isuzu UK AT35. Looking forward to that!

Who on earth takes a dishwasher on camping trips? Well, hear me out...

Our first press car of 2026, the Kia Sportage. Lovely colour…

Splish splash - Deux Smurf loves a good swim every now and again!

A few more pics from last week's vehicle loan, the @toyotauk.bsky.social Land Cruiser Commercial...

There are times when I think I need a full roof rack for Deux Smurf, but these Thule bars have been brilliant for the last ten years.

No more press cars now till after Xmas, so I’ve gone explorin’ in Deux Smurf…

The sun had set whilst I was on Deadman's Hill last night. The 250 Land Cruiser Commercial had done a great job of exploring a plethora of lanes in the Dales. I'm not saying I'm falling for the noisy 2.8ltr, 4-pot diesel, but it has ample power.

I reckon this is the highest wheel in the air I've had in a press 4x4!
