G’Day and welcome to Overdrive, a program where we let our thoughts wonder over issues to do with cars and transport

Feedback

I put three Facebook posts up on vehicles we had seen and I’ve had over 40,000 people reached

  • An MG with an unusual fastback and very rare wheels
  •  a Chrysler crossfire from the first decade of this century that Jeremy Clarkson said look like a dog pooing
  • and work of art in the new building of the NSW art gallery. Homage to the Bugatti 35. It elicited a number of comments including one arty farty, full of art buzz words

Road test GWM Ora

Might electrification make “noddy” cars appealing?

Interview

The UK HS2 fast train

  • From one disaster to another
  • An international transport planning expert comments on the HS2 and reminisces about some other projects
