It’s hard to be objective about a car you’ve wanted to drive since you were 12 years old. Even harder when it has the stopping power of a bright orange Lotus Elise. Read more
So, you’ve made it to the Gas Station Podisode’s new home. To show you around here’s a little guide to the site. This is the home page, funnily enough. You’re reading this, which means you can see our bloggy/newsy feed. Above you can see our top stories, they’re mostly Podisodes for now, though you’ll have seen the Volvo V60 R-Design DRIVe road trip slide – that’ll take you to the trip’s MEGAPAGE, where you’ll find all the content we created on the road.

Hello. We have a new format now, we’re doing news Podisodes at the end of a month and drives around halfway through (depending on what/when we drive). There is a reason for this – we’re all super mega hyper busy. We didn’t want to ditch the Podisode, but it wasn’t sustainable at the rate it was going. Please understand that we didn’t tak the decision to do this lightly, either. It was a bugger to make and a horrible thing to admit to, but we’re human and simply couldn’t be in more than eight places at once (as one of us had to be at one point – messy). We’ve been humbled by the requests for more content and for more Podisodes and hopefully we’ll be back up to snuff at some point soon. Watch this space, as it were. Read more

So it’s that time of year again – Geneva Motor Show time. That means lots of running around, trying to find the coolest car at the show and failing because there are too many to choose from. Read more
