By Andrew Frankl I have to make a confession-the new Dodge Magnum SRT8 is not my cup of tea. Having said that it is wonderful news that in its various guises the truly dramatic looking car enabled Chrysler to make a profit after years of languishing in a sea of red ink. Clearly something new and exciting was called for ... Continue reading

New car Review: Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT 4WD
Aug 7, 2002
By Annabelle Frankl Party planning 101: Drinks, food, music, cups, plates and a huge truck to transport everything in.

Adventures in Vermont: by Annabelle Frankl Living in LA, one becomes accustomed to every 2nd vehicle being an SUV of some description.

Review: Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor
Jul 9, 2002
By Annabelle Frankl Having no idea of what to expect from a ‘cheap’ Merc, I was most anxious to get behind the wheel of the C230, Mercedes’ attempt to appeal to a younger, less monetarily flush market, yet a market that still demands style, sophistication and performance.

I have to admit, I was rather surprised by just how well it drives; evidently, it’s got the looks of a lean, mean, sporty machine, but how often do these looks actually trans ... Continue reading
Review: 2002 VW Beetle Turbo S
May 14, 2002
By Annabelle Frankl Having driven the Beetle a couple of years ago, I was intrigued to get into the Turbo S.

By Annabelle Frankl Given the amount of vehicles I get to drive, I’m always asked what I would choose for myself. Well, I hate to have to choose, and it rather depends on the day of the week, weather, mood and so on! But, if I had to, then the X5 would be very close to the top of my list. I’ve always liked ...
