Hello everyone, This is a short and sweet post to say that we're moving back to Wordpress because folks want to publish some stuff here and who am I to stop them? The Redline has always been evolving so we're off an another evolution. Nothing dramatic
Words: Peter Anderson Pics: Matt Garrard (IG @mattg81) Co-pilots: Mark Dewar and Blake Currall. Getting on twenty years ago I arrived home and fixed my wife with a look of helplessness. I had just come back from an afternoon driving M cars around Philip Island, long before I had this
Words: Peter Anderson Images: Blake Currall Co-pilot: Mark Dewar It's been a while since the Mustang nameplate was so sacrilegiously slapped onto the rump of a car that was a) not a two-door booted coupe and b) electric. Everyone got mad – I mean, seriously, get a grip – but
We start with a wild electric Hyundai, an elderly M, an elderly SUV and an immortal Honda. For Top Gear magazine, Jethro Bovingdon tests the new Ioniq 5 N-based RN24. Jethro is a bit anti-EV (don't @ me, he admits it) so it's interesting to see what
A personal obsession from the other Czech car company you may not have heard of, another Citroën, some cool Dakar cars and three incredible McLarens. Years ago I read about the rear-engined V8 Tatra 613 in CAR magazine and I am fundamentally obsessed with it more than three decades later.
This week we've got an epic drive through South America, some retro racing from 1973, a ropey video about the Alfa GTA 1300 Junior, Ford's biggest failure and racing's biggest failures. Canadian couple Matt and Stacey (not sure you could be more Canadian with
Another Porsche video (but by a legend), a crashtastic off-road video, an insane engine swap, a second insane engine swap and the reason British Leyland died. Or one of the reasons, anyway. Very good friend and one-time (so far) contributor to The Redline, Scott Newman, has his own YouTube channel
Cars. Travel. Coffee.
Words: Peter Anderson Images: Matt Garrard Like the 911 before it, I had never driven a Corvette until this mid-engined monster. There are several reasons for this, chief among them being I'm from Australia, lived my whole life here and the Corvette was not sold here in right-hand
Well a happy new year to you all and if you're new here, welcome! Say hi in the comments. We'll kick off the year with a video from a channel I nearly skipped because it looked a bit too cringey for my liking, an iconic V12
The last Weekend Watches of the year is upon us and it starts with a rarity (a video from me), a busted Merc SUV, another wacky Swede, a gorgeous Italian and one from the archive. It's been a while, even since the Cupra video, and I'm
Words: Peter Anderson Images: Blake Currall and Matt Garrard Co-pilot: Mark Dewar Lotus has had many owners, some consequential, others just treading water. In the Before Times (2017), Chinese automotive giant Geely – still not yet really a household name outside of China – added Lotus to its group of brands. I&
The last WW before Christmas and I've got some bangers lined up. We've got why a once-popular racing series isn't, 10 race cars that should have got a better shake, a classic Targa race and a not-so-classic Holden. JakeSimRacing has a story on why
Hasn't this week just blown by? For your weekend pleasure, we have the story of a storied French car maker, a less-storied but fascinating carmaker, an even more obscure story of a forgotten car company, I break the rules of this edition with a video I just really
Well, it has been a little while, sorry for the break in transmission, had actual paid work happening. First up, a car I saw a lot of in my youth, a list of cars that you might find interesting, another car from my youth and a car Top Gear gave
An old burping Saab, a dubstep V10, another BMW (sorry), why a certain car is such a good driver's car and what to look for in a Focus ST. Aging Wheels buys a classic two-stroke Saab and, naturally, hilarity ensues. The Straight Pipes tackle my favourite BMW M
Jaguar allegedly broke the internet today, or they did according to a particular type of internet and media personality. Ahead of the launch of a design concept in a couple of weeks, the company released a spot called "Copy Nothing" to show off the new branding. As you
An affordable EV comparison, a shouty German brand is unveiled, impossibly stylish man interviewed, off-roader starter guide and an electric cop car. M'colleague Alex Misoyannis of Drive.com.au has put the BYD Dolphin and MG4 head-to-head in the under $40k EV battle. Best $40K electric car in
Renault's new small electric car has really caught my eye and I've posted about it and the Alpine A290 hot hatch as well. I've posted about them a lot. What gives? I am a hatchback fan. I love them for their size – particularly the
A V12 diesel Audi that can seat five, cool cars for cool guys, cheating cheaters, an age-old question answered and a new electric Alpine. Drivetribe brings us the story of the diesel V12 Audi Q7, one of the more surprising cars to come out of Ingolstadt. James Pumphrey from Speeed
