This Cartier was created for the 1983 Dakar rally. It is now up for auction

13 Jul 2022 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

This is one of the rarest and most obscure Cartier watches in existence. It's called the Cartier Cheich and they only made four pieces. Back in the 1980s, Alain Dominique Perrin - the man in charge of brand at the time - and Paris-Dakar founder Thie...

After two decades, the most underrated car in the world is ready to make a comeback. Except, it's not. I don't know why but Volkswagen decided to torture us by releasing never-seen-before pictures of the second-gen VW Phaeton that never happened....

On today's episode of "Watches That Everyone Wants But No One Can Buy", we introduce the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Music Editions. I'm not sure who thought of this but this is genius. This watch is guaranteed to sell like hot cakes, partly...

Haven't you always wanted a watch made from Michelin tyres?

This is the Michelin x Bamford London B347 Pilot Sport and as you can imagine, the rubber strap is made from recycled - or 'upcycled', that's the term these days - Michelin tyres. The strap is adorned with yellow accents and, of course, a reproduc...

Scuderia Ferrari's awful performance: a 5-minute rant

13 Jun 2022 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

There's always something else, isn't it? It's the driver's fault. It's the other driver's fault. It's the other teams' drivers' fault. Bad strategy. Bad luck. The car's too fast now, which made it unreliable. Ferrari have the largest budget in F1. T...

If you're an early crypto adopter, this might be the car for you

The biggest problem with writing about cars these days is everything has been said. Every analogy has been used. And we ran out of metaphors. Automakers aren't helping because they've become dull. Even when they create fun vehicles. Mind you, there...

You've probably heard about the '2022 everything crash' but the pre-owned market for vintage cars didn't get the memo. And it's worse than you think. Or better, depending on your point of view. The insanity has reached new levels with this 1955 M...

I may have mentioned this before: up until very recently, I mostly covered car news and reviews. Now my focus is 95% on crypto, but I still keep an eye on what's going on in the car world and my job is made easier by the fact that automakers are beco...

Slightly better, faster, more efficient: here's the new Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica

13 Apr 2022 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

The Lamborghini Huracán is called 'Huracán', not 'Huracan'. There's an accent and I can't ignore it because I'm fastidious like that. They should just drop it. The problem is unfortunately they're going to drop the actual model before they change th...
