The G-Wagen is an imposing vehicle whichever way you view it, its reputation is legendary, but then so is the price. This particular G350 TEC BlueTec costs £83,830, then there’s the £22,320 worth of extras bringing the total up to an eye watering £106,150……

Every week, near enough, we’re sent products to review, some are put straight to use whilst others we just stare at and ponder their relevance. Initially, when I opened the box from Wham I have to admit the latter did cross my mind, but we are always up for checking out British made products.

Only a few moments after casting her eyes on them, Muddy Madam had some ideas and put them straight to use…..

The Nissan X-Trail is the world’s best-selling SUV and now available with a range of upgrades which further enhance its quality and refinement. The changes include a distinctive and robust redesign of the exterior, a higher-quality interior with desirable new features, additional practicality for owners and innovative new technologies to make life…

I'm not usually one to wear scarves, unless it's freezing cold, so when I was offered a couple of these cotton continuous loop (hence the name Infinity), to review I thought I can only give them a go…

The all-new Kia Stonic is an eye-catching and confident compact crossover, and is set to become an important conquest model for Kia in one of Europe’s newest and fastest-growing vehicle segments.

The Road Venture MT51 is Kumho’s latest mud-terrain offering for 4x4 vehicles and is said to combine both great off-road capability with impressive on-road performance. It has deliberately been designed to fit below the company’s extreme off-road pattern, the well-established Road Venture MT KL71, and therefore combines great…

Millican’s Joe The iPad cover is a great piece of kit, but after an initial spurt of use for my first review, around 6 months, it was put to one side and almost forgotten about.  After this confession, some of you may be thinking that Joe isn’t worthy and a bit rubbish, but you would be wrong, oh so very wrong. 

The sole reason for its rejection was because the eternally clumsy Muddy Madam…..

The original CX-5 was introduced way back in 2012, and with global sales of over 1.5 million it now accounts for roughly 25% of Mazda’s global sales volume, with more than 32,000 current-generation CX-5s having been sold in the UK; no mean feat…

Here at The Mud Life our philosophy is simple, the less we pack when we go on a jaunt the better, which is why I’m lovin’ this new product that was sent to us to review.  EAZYBBQ is basically 100% ecological oak charcoal in a box.  Granted, on reflection that doesn’t sound very exciting, but it is!

For starters it’s in a box, so that makes it easier for packing……

Revealed at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the Jeep Wrangler Night Eagle comes in a choice of striking colours with exclusive decals, and provides a unique style, premium equipment levels and, of course, Jeep’s legendary off-road capability.…

Developed in secret by the world’s biggest-selling enthusiast magazine and codenamed ‘Project Swarm’, the totally unique Mitsubishi L200 took centre stage on the brand’s eye-catching stand.

Fully exploring the potential of the Mitsubishi L200, ‘Project Swarm’ is built in the style of a ‘Pre-Runner’ off-road vehicle – specially modified production vehicles that are…

The new ŠKODA KAROQ’s emotive and dynamic design with numerous crystalline elements is a true representation of the new ŠKODA design language. The front section captivates with a striking, three-dimensional design. The radiator grille, framed by a chrome trim, has vertical double slats and creates the trapezoidal cross section that is typical of ŠKODA SUVs.…

Kia has received yet more recognition and won a tightly contested award in this years’ Diesel Car and Eco Car Awards, with the all-new Kia Niro hybrid crossover winning best hybrid vehicle and the Kia cee’d and Sportage models coming well within the top 50 cars available in the UK, concluded by the panel of judges of Diesel Car and Eco Car.…

In the main compartment I put a couple of shirts, a pair of trousers, sturdy boots and underwear, they all seemed to be lost inside…

On the outside there’s 2 oversized wheels that are designed to work on all surfaces. I’ve already mentioned the very sturdy V-Tubing telescoping handles,  but what I didn’t say is that it’s very easy to use and has a button built into both sides of the non-slip grip and slides up and down into the locked fixed position smoothly……

Like all Thule products, someone has sat down and actually thought about its design, and subsequently, the Subterra Attaché is a brilliant piece of kit for anyone who has to carry a laptop around, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Starting at the front, unzip the full width pocket and you will find enough space for an iPad or a diary.  There’s 2 mesh pockets that are attached to

Demand is still increasing for the pioneering luxury compact SUV that delivers critically-acclaimed design, desirability and all-terrain capability to the segment it created in 2011.

Like other small cars, the Picanto has never been on my radar.  It isn't huge, it doesn't have a big V8, nor does it have any kind of 4x4 system, so why did I fly all the way down to Grosseto, Italy to drive one then?  Well, I was going to say that your answer is in the question, I love Italy, but that isn't the reason at all - no, seriously, it isn't!…….
