This girl’s on fire … and now she’s sunk, too
The last time I ordered a new car from Europe my local dealer put me onto a smartphone app that allowed me to track the progress of the ship my car was coming to Australia on. For the next several weeks I veered between breathless...
Zen and the art of laying off the horn
I am not generally prone to road rage. I wouldn’t say I exist in a state of Zen behind the wheel, but it takes something quite extraordinary to provoke me even to the point of using my horn, let alone doing anything more radical than...
Out of the pothole, into the dark
Here’s a tip that I’ve learned. Before you assume something is damaged beyond repair, try giving it a good rub first. Let me back up a bit. Last weekend, a really wet and windy weekend, I was out having fun in a little run-around I...

Maserati delivers the goods with new Trofeo Collection
Electrification is inevitable for cars, so I’m taking every opportunity to create experiences in and collect memories of automotive technology I have grown up loving. Top of that list is the sheer diving pleasure of a whip-fast internal combustion machine, the latest iteration of which...
5.8m Rolls-Royce Boat Tail the World’s most expensive car
Luxury car brands have become increasingly creative in how they woo and retain well-heeled customers, especially using personalisation as an early-engagement enticement. Matching interiors to favourite golf bags, embedding artwork in the centre console, even allowing diamond-studded gearsticks are now par for the course. Well,...
We test drive the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and give it two thumbs up
When you’re into road trips and your daily drive is a twin-turbo V8 Audi RS6, the notion of getting behind the wheel of something silent and electric hasn’t held much appeal, especially given the range issue in a country as big as Australia. But when...
Jeep helps us hit the road with purpose and an Empty Esky
COVID-19-induced travel restrictions look like they’ll remain part of life for some time to come, especially by air. That’s bad news for those of us in Melbourne, particularly, still enduring months of enforced local isolation. We at Madam Wheels are not sure about other Melburnians,...
