Iconic restaurant Sachins is Newcastle’s favourite spot for first-class Punjabi food, but who is the face behind this beloved establishment? Well, that’s what we’re discovering today. Head Chef and Owner, Bob Arora, has been heading up operations at Sachins for over 23 years now. Today, we’re sitting down with Bob and taking the time to […]
Bob Arora served centre table at the unbelievable Dine by the Tyne; a sky table raised 100ft in the air by the River Tyne. Local foodies from across the North East got experimental with their dining experience, having Bob serve their delicious meal to them, 100 feet in the air. The breath-taking views of the […]
The original LS was launched 30 years ago and was ground-breaking at the time. The executives at Toyota wanted to launch a brand to take on the Germans; the LS was a direct competitor to the S Class. The LS was Japan’s answer to luxury motoring, it was not only bullet proof and extremely reliable, […]
The Korean invasion from Kia has been very much under the radar. They came to the UK selling quite boring looking, cheap cars with a great warranty.

I was amazed to read Lexus have been around for 28 years, they launched the LS which was aimed squarely at the Mercedes S Class. It wasn’t the most beautiful looking car but it was filled with gadgets and they were always the most reliable cars around. Add to this a level of customer service […]
To say Range Rover can’t do any wrong at the moment has to be the understatement of the year! From being a company that just produced one car, they are successfully launching cars in every market segment possible at the moment. They successfully launched the Range Rover Sport and then the equally popular Evoque, both […]
Any petrol head will tell you that until you’ve owned an Alfa you aren’t a proper petrol head. Alfa’s have never had the best reputation for build quality or reliability but they have made some stunning looking cars that also drive really well. As you may expect, I’ve owned one Alfa, I bought a 156 […]
