When I first started this blog, it was all about American vehicles. I was immersed in flathead Fords, CB points, Stromberg carbs, and all the idiosyncrasies that make old U.S. iron so endlessly fascinating.

But over time, something shifted.

The internet (and the world) got smaller. Conversations about transport started crossing borders. And I began to feel a nagging limitation: if I only talked about America, I was missing most of the story.

So, it’s time to broaden things out.

Here’s a prime example, this is 1951 Jowett Javelin, never heard of it you say!

Well take a listen to this podcast I did some time ago and all will become clear.

Going forward, you’ll see more content like this, plus :

• European, Japanese, and emerging-market transport history





• Engineering and design innovation from around the world





• EVs, trains, bikes, and other forms of clean or clever transport





• Policy, infrastructure, and the future of how we move





• Cultural transport stories — from Swedish rallying to Indonesian angkots

I’ll still dip into American content when it matters. But the goal now is to explore the global picture — and to do it with the same mix of curiosity, skepticism, and admiration that’s always driven this blog.

Thanks to those who’ve stuck around — and welcome to those just joining.

Let’s go a bit further, together.
