November 1918. Following the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia is engulfed in a gigantic civil war. Lenin and the Reds hope to forge a new Soviet empire. His enemies, the Whites, look to their new leader Admiral Alexander Kolchak to avenge the murdered Tsar and save Russia from chaos.

Kolchak is famed for his devotion to duty and 'the motherland', but faces a crisis of unimaginable proportions. Against the backdrop of a horrific civil war that claims millions of lives, he struggles for international support, military success, and ultimately, his own survival.

This is our full documentary recounting the extraordinary life and times of Admiral Kolchak – Russia’s only ‘Supreme Ruler’.

In 1798, after a series of French victories in Europe, Britain stands alone against France and her allies.

Aiming to strike a major blow against British interests in the Mediterranean, Napoleon Bonaparte leads an expeditionary force to conquer Egypt. But Britain still has the most powerful navy in the world.. and they are in pursuit.

What’s more, the British fleet in the Mediterranean is commanded by Rear Admiral Horatio Nelson, who has a reputation for bold leadership and aggression. When he catches up with the French fleet in Egypt, he will lead a daring attack that goes down in history.

In this video I share with you day two of the two day GTI Fanfest road trip organised by VW UK. While it may seem reckless to drive a 30 year old car flat out, I took my time to build up to that moment making sure the car felt right. Also this is not abuse, in fact getting a car like this warmed up fully and cleaning out the cat etc will do it good and make it drive better.

Link to my thorough Mk8.5 GTI review video - posted a week before Car Wow's supposedly 'exclusive' review and using a UK car not a German one and on the public road not an airfield where it's easy to work out the car is actually quite stiff, contrary to what Car Wow said;

Thanks to Max Kruse Racing and VW AG for this bucket list opportunity

In this video I consider whether a well used £40k VW Motorsport built TCR racing car is a good alternative to converting a road GTI for track use and share with you how pausing to take a photo potentially saved me from serious injury or even death - not clickbait.

In order to help you decide if you want to order a new VW Golf 8.5 GTI & GTI Clubsport, in this video I share with you my opinions on the options available by delving into the VW UK configurator which reveal a number of things that are either confusing and/or contradictory.

I'd done a dry run of this video the day before filming and at the time a "space and weight" saving spare wheel was listed but this wasn't on the configurator at the time of filming - another oddity.

I mention the P11D price which is the price that company car tax is based on. This appears to be the same as the list price which is the on the road (OTR) price less the initial registration fee and the first years road tax. This means the P11D price is the number that the luxury car tax is based on which means in this case around £1k below the OTR price which means you can spec DCC and area view on the base GTI and avoid the LCT. Even main dealer sales folk often aren't aware of this.
