Geneva Motor Show: The Ultimate Auto Showcase
The Geneva motor show is always a highly anticipated event in the automotive world, and this year was no exception. Steve and Matt delve into the standout cars and concepts from the show, sharing their insights and opinions. From cutting-edge electric vehicles to futuristic autonomous concepts, the Geneva motor show had it all.
Exploring Car ‘Bandwidth’ at McLaren Technical Centre
One of the highlights of Steve and Matt’s week was their visit to the McLaren Technical Centre. They had an opportunity to discuss the concept of car ‘bandwidth’ with McLaren engineers. Car ‘bandwidth’ refers to a vehicle’s ability to handle different driving scenarios and demands. The duo explores how McLaren is pushing the boundaries of car ‘bandwidth’ with their latest models.
Driving Licence Refreshers: A Necessity?
In this episode, Steve and Matt also ponder the idea of driving licence refreshers.

This thought-provoking discussion raises important considerations about road safety and driver competence.
Kei Cars: A Perfect Fit for the UK?
Another topic that piqued their interest was the possibility of introducing Kei cars in the UK. Kei cars are small, lightweight vehicles popular in Japan due to their affordable price and compact size. Steve and Matt debate whether these pint-sized cars could find a market in the UK, where space and fuel efficiency are valued.
