We spend years finding the right cars, then invent reasons not to use them. On mileage, bad weather, ordinary destinations and why the best car trip is often the one you actually take.

Britain's car-show scene didn't disappear. It fragmented into thousands of smaller worlds, and that might be exactly what it needed.

The most interesting car in the room isn't always the most valuable. Sometimes it's the one somebody simply refused to give up on.

The internet used to help us find the car scene. Then the internet became the car scene. Maybe it's time we went outside again.

I thought I'd spent twenty years obsessed with cars. Looking back, the cars might only have been the excuse.
