British Motorshow 2008 Review
The annual British motorshow has historically been a key part of the automotive calendar. I made the yearly trip down to ExCeL in East London for the event with mixed feelings.

The Maltese Falcon
The first time anyone lays eyes on the Maltese Falcon, you know they are going to be impressed, regardless of whether they are fans of big boats or not. Immediately you can see that there is something fundamentally different about it, but exactly what that is might not be so clear.
The Haves and the Have-Yachts
The alarm clock explodes. It is 5am. I pull back the curtains to find a grey morning with a thin drizzle. Writing for Lusso is rough work – but someone’s got to do it. Shave, shower and a cup of AA Chagga coffee from H.R. Higgins (Coffee Man).
The Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge
I had an argument with a fluid dynamicist the other night at my son’s Boy Scout barbeque. In recounting my recent, unforgettable, trip to see and sail some of the world’s finest classic yachts I asserted that they were living proof that yacht making is still an art not a science.
