My Dream Fleet

Aug 19 2015

I have 2 – small and large.

Send me yours, let’s debate! Tweet, Facebook or email.

Specifically in my fleet – no convertibles, manual transmission when possible, black interiors and grey or black exterior with heavily tinted windows, and all are the highest trim but de-badged.

Small Fleet

Jaguar F-TYPE R

Audi RS 4 Avant

Large Fleet

Small Fleet plus:

Chevy Tahoe

Dodge Grand Caravan

Ford F-150

Jeep Wrangler

McLaren 650S

Mercedes E 63 AMG

Porsche Cayman S

Range Rover Sport

Subaru WRX STI

VW GTI

Plus the only old car I like – a 2006 BMW M3

And when I must be chauffeured, it’s a Security-trimmed Audi RS 7, or Jaguar XJL.

The ‘Goodbye to the Newspaper’ Column

Aug 19 2015

Tough to write, but think it came out pretty good.

It’s a 2015 Jaguar XJ AWD.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

All of it. Writing ‘Keri on Driving’ was the best part of my week.

Here’s the link to my Dream Fleet, send me yours, let’s talk about it.

Most Unusual Sunroof goes to the Lincoln MKZ

Aug 19 2015

It’s massive, and the way it opens is unusual, sliding down overtop the rear window.

The arrow is pointing how far it slides down.

But here’s the result – the cabin is almost all-open.

Blog tag = Lincoln MKZ

Play a Game – What Make & Model is this Car?

Aug 18 2015

A reader of ‘Keri on Driving’ emailed me about his new car, referencing a column about de-badging a car from summer 2013. He says, “I wanted to make my car unrecognizable to almost everyone.”

So Darryl W. of London, ON issues this challenge:
can you identify the make and model of his car?

I got the make and model, but was off by 2 years. Then I asked to blog his pictures it was so fun.

So here you go, good luck! I’ve peppered this post with quotes from his email, so we have the same clues, same playing field. Answer is at bottom of post.

“My car was already somewhat rare to begin with, as this model from the manufacturer was only for sale in Canada for a period of 3 years.”

“I am also including a close up of the sticker(s) that I placed over the manufacturer symbol on the (4) centre wheel caps.”

Nice interior shot eh.

Got your answer?

Here’s the original column (and original post.)

It’s a 2007 Hyundai Azera GLS

(in South Korea, the Azera model is called the Grandeur)

1st Time Ever – I Smashed my Screen

Aug 18 2015

First time ever, and I’ve had a cell phone for 17 years.

(original post)

Brand new iPhone 6 too… I finally upgraded my phone just 2 weeks ago. Then did this.

I’ve launched my phone across huge rooms, it’s fine. One time it fell off my 47th floor balcony and bounced to the one below, fine again. This time, it slipped 3″ onto the counter, bounce-pivotted onto a metal USB key and smash.

This was an expensive mistake ugh.
