And the winner is... Sydney. Actually it's not, it's M Frost - who takes home our Navman MiVue dash cam in our recently drawn competition. If you don't subscribe to our social channels already, the links are at the foot of this newsletter (it's worth bonus entries in all our giveaways).

We can tell you that one of our latest news stories about a man, a long lost sibling of Skippy and a brand new motorcycle is also part of What's Hot? so we won't double down. Instead, you get number 2 and 3 in this fortnight's most read.

Chasing Corners: The Alpine Way
|
|
|
After the scorched‑earth madness of Episode 1 - 48‑degree heat, questionable fuel planning, and one German car with the drinking habits of an 18‑year‑old at Schoolies - dawn in Jindabyne felt like a reset button. The air was crisp (it was a chilly 11-degrees at Wildbrumby Distillery), the lake was still, and for the first time on the trip, nobody …

2026 Toyota GR86 GTS Performance (car review)
|
|
|
Cars like the the 2026 Toyota GR86 GTS don't need much of an introduction. The compact rear-wheel drive coupe has built its reputation on sharp handling, strong reliability and proper driver engagement. That's all wrapped up in a package that remains far more attainable than most modern performance cars. That matters, because genuine performance is getting harder to find under six …

Guides: what enthusiasts should know about insuring an EV
|
|
|
As enthusiasts, we do the homework properly. We compare kWh figures, argue about real-world range versus WLTP claims, and read three reviews of the same car looking for the one honest paragraph about ride quality. We then quietly work out whether the driveway can take a wallbox. Then the insurance renewal arrives and we tick a box. That's a shame, …

A man, a kangaroo and a 2026 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure
|
|
|
There's nothing better than taking delivery of your dream bike. It's a special moment in one's life, filled with joyous excitement for the adventures that lay ahead. That's particularly so when the machine is an Option 719 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure. A grin from ear-to-ear adorned this writer’s average looking melon as he took possession at Worthington’s Motorcycles on …

2025 Genesis G70 Signature Sport (car review)
|
|
|
There is no 2026 Genesis G70. Instead, the most current version bears a 2025 badge, and is based on a 2024 update. That's why it's unlikely to be named in a poll of car fans about the best things in the medium luxury sedan space right now, and that's a travesty. While it’s available in a shooting brake, with that …

2025 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 (car review)
|
|
|
On the back of news that a 2026 update for the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 is headed down under in the coming months, we jumped behind the wheel of the 2025 version to see just where it sits in a shrinking corner of the automotive landscape. In a market increasingly dominated by downsized turbocharged engines and electrification, Chevrolet has stayed true …

2026 Toyota GR Yaris GTS Aero (car review)
|
|
|
If you remember when the Toyota GR Yaris launched in Australia to great fanfare at $39,990, then the $64,990 asked for the car we're testing might cause some heart palpitations - but there are mitigating circumstances. That sharp initial price was an introductory offer and the same car now costs $55,490, while the GTS (nee Rallye) is $60,490. Adding the …
