Review: 2017 Ford Kuga Titanium X Sport 2ltr TDCi AWD

The Kuga isn’t a sports car, but equipped with the 178bhp 2ltr TDCi power unit, it certainly moves.  I particularly enjoyed taking it along the open and twisty roads around the Pennines, and with the combination of 19” rims, well-weighted electric steering and its all-wheel-drive system, it inspired confidence and gave me a huge grin……

Thule Atmos X5

Over the years I've had quite a few different cases for my iPhones, all of which have been used and abused, but more importantly, have protected my hundreds of pound investment.

I thought it was about time I reintroduced you to a couple of Millican products that have been well used over the years, namely Jim The Holdall and Peter The Wash Bag. Although they’ve been with me for quite a number of years now, 2016 has been quite a busy year for them, as well as regular-ish trips to the gym, they’ve been living the high life…..
