Pat on the back if you answered Ford Ka, shake of the head if you didn’t (the answers even in the article title!) Yes after a staggering 13 years, the Ka is still going strong, but now it’s had a makeover… To coin a well ploughed phrase ‘if it ain’t bro... Automotive Mark Creese Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=348258&ca=Automotive There are some cars that are instantly gorgeous and they usually originate from Italy, where flair and passion far outweigh mundane real-life situations like reliability. There are a few European cars popping up that have a subtle beauty that may very well pass you by until someone points out they a... Automotive Mark Creese Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=348260&ca=Automotive With the economic climate fast-approaching the nightmarish hell the media have been harping on about for the past six months, there are certain consumer goods being left on the shelf. One major casualty is the motor industry, because let’s face it, having to choose between keeping warm, fed and wate...

Space travel, fast food, blues and jazz, theme parks, telephone numbers such as 0-8-0-0-F-U-N-T-I-M-E have all found their way over here. What’s wrong with using numb... Automotive Mark Creese Sat, 14 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=346812&ca=Automotive It’s amazing what people will do if they feel it is socially acceptable. For example auditioning to be locked in a house for three months surrounded by cameras is the gateway to ‘stardom’, jumping off a tall building to your imminent death before a piece of cloth catches the air is seen as ‘fun’ and... Automotive Mark Creese Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=346520&ca=Automotive Remember that recent advert from a French car manufacturer that basically showed that buying their people carrier was to buy a new family pet? The car tore around the gravel driveway, opening and closing its windows to the sound of a dog whining and flapping its rear windscreen wiper ferociously as... Automotive Mark Creese Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=339450&ca=Automotive I do love Christmas. Admittedly mine’s not completely focussed on the bible’s definition of Christmas, but then to me, the real meaning of the festive season is everyone getting along together, families reuniting, drinking too much and giving gifts. It’s on the gifts front I’ve really struggled this... Automotive Mark Creese Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=339451&ca=Automotive Ok time for my weekly rant. Today I was driving a considerable distance to have my eyes tested (my uncle is my optician but I won’t bore you with the details) which in itself was going to take up a considerable percentage of the day. This is of course before you factor in the traffic police, their p... Automotive Mark Creese Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=339013&ca=Automotive If you could find out the exact date of your death would you want to know? I mean if you knew that you would live to 95 you could take things easy, spread out everything you wanted to achieve and see and accomplish everything. The downside of course is that if you found out it was going to be next w... Automotive Mark Creese Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=339016&ca=Automotive I have a few irrational fears: spiders, which counts me out of “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!” when I’m a z-list celebrity, hospitals, even when I’m just visiting someone and finally carnival folk. On the latter, I have no doubt that the majority of carnival folk have skills that merit being a...
