๐Ÿš— UK car buyers โ€” I want your opinion! ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Iโ€™m thinking about creating a new podcast to help people make smarter decisions when buying a car in the UK, with practical tips, honest reviews, and insights from automotive experts.

Would you be interested in this kind of podcast?

๐Ÿ‘ Yes, Iโ€™d listen

I canโ€™t quite believe thisโ€ฆ The Car Buying Coach UK has been featured in The Northern Echo! ๐ŸŽ‰

Launching just 14 days ago has been exciting, intense, and honestly a little surreal โ€” and now seeing the business highlighted by a major regional publisher is one of those moments where it suddenly feels very real.

Although I support people across the UK, getting strong local coverage like this means a lot. It helps build trust, puts what Iโ€™m doing on the map close to home, and gives this one-person start-up some serious momentum in these early weeks.

A huge thank you to Mike Hughes, The Northern Echoโ€™s Business and Commercial Editor, and Gavin Engelbrecht for the fantastic write-up โ€” your support at this stage genuinely makes a difference.

๐ŸŒ Growing The Car Buying Coach UK Across the North! ๐Ÿš—โœจ

Iโ€™ve woken up this morning to even more media coverage for The Car Buying Coach UK โ€” and this one marks another huge step forward.

A big thank you to fellow automotive journalist Andy Harris for featuring my new business across multiple northern regional platforms, including the Yorkshire Times, Cumbria Times, Lancashire Times, and North East Post, as well as their print newspapers. ๐Ÿ“ฐ

To have this level of coverage less than two weeks after officially launching on Monday 10 November feels surreal โ€” and incredibly motivating. Whatโ€™s been even more encouraging is that this exposure has already led to new enquiries, showing just how much appetite there is for transparent, independent support when buying a car.

Building The Car Buying Coach UK in the North means a lot to me. Itโ€™s where I grew up, where many of my earliest opportunities came from, and where Iโ€™m now seeing the business genuinely start to take root. ๐ŸŒฑ

Thank you again to Andy for the support โ€” and to everyone whoโ€™s reached out, shared a post, or sent kind words since I launched. Every bit of encouragement helps as I continue building this from the ground up. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Hereโ€™s to keeping the momentum going โ€” across the North and beyond! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’ก

Just 11 days after launching, Iโ€™m thrilled to share that The Car Buying Coach UK has already been featured in the Teesdale Mercury! ๐Ÿ“ฐ๏ฟฝ

Barnard Castle will always hold a special place in my heart, as I spent five years at Barnard Castle School. To see my new business getting recognition in such a meaningful community feels like a full-circle moment. ๐Ÿ’™๏ฟฝ

A huge thank you to Alan Formby-Jackson and the team at Teesdale Mercury for this wonderful feature. Your support means the world to me! ๐Ÿ™Œ๏ฟฝ

Looking forward to helping more people make smarter, stress-free car buying decisions every day. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’ก๏ฟฝ

๐Ÿš—โœจ Just three days after launching, The Car Buying Coach UK has already been featured in FQ Magazine!

The article, โ€œRevolutionising Car Buying for Parents,โ€ highlights how I help busy parents cut through the confusion, save time, and buy cars with confidence โ€” because parents donโ€™t have hours to decode finance jargon or compare every trim level.

Huge thanks to FQ and Tim Barnes-Clay. Freelance motoring journalist for hire for sharing my story ๐Ÿ™

๐Ÿš— Exciting news! Iโ€™m launching The Car Buying Coach UK! ๐Ÿš—

Iโ€™ve lost count of how many Iโ€™ve been asked: โ€œIs this a good deal?โ€

Buying a car can be stressful, confusing, and overwhelming โ€” especially with trims, tech options, financing choices, and the fear of getting scammed.

Thatโ€™s why I decided to start The Car Buying Coach UK: trusted, independent advice to help people buy cars with confidence.

Having been an automotive journalist for almost eight years, Iโ€™ve driven everything from city cars to supercars.

Now Iโ€™m using that experience to help clients:

โœ… Choose a car that fits their lifestyle, needs, and budget
โœ… Navigate EVs, family cars, first cars, or downsizing vehicles
โœ… Avoid endless research and dealership stress
โœ… Make confident, informed decisions

I work completely independently โ€” no ties to brands or dealerships โ€” so my advice is 100% honest and transparent.

I can help clients in many ways, from giving personalised recommendations to deep-diving into needs, and even full end-to-end support through the whole buying process.

Iโ€™ll be doing this around my full-time job โ€” mostly evenings and weekends โ€” which works perfectly for clients who are busy during the day.

Iโ€™ve already helped several clients find cars they genuinely love, and Iโ€™d love to help more.

If you or someone you know could use a hand buying a car, DM me, visit my website at www.thecarbuyingcoach.co.uk, and follow โ€˜The Car Buying Coach UKโ€™ on social media.

Hereโ€™s to helping more people get into cars they love! ๐Ÿš˜๐Ÿ’จ

Ten days with the Lotus Eletre Sport 600 SE just ended, and Iโ€™m still thinking about it ๐Ÿค”

Finished in Kaimu Grey with gloss black accents, 22-inch gloss black wheels, and red six-piston calipers, itโ€™s a looker that matches its performance ๐Ÿ‘€

Speaking of which, this electric SUV pumps out a whopping 603 bhp, good for 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds, which isnโ€™t bad for something designed for lugging the family around ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’โ€๐Ÿง’

Inside, itโ€™s just as impressive: Jasper leather, red seat belts, a Charcoal and Steel Blue-accented steering wheel, Intelligent Glass Roof, and a banging KEF Reference Audio system ๐ŸŽถ

The price I hear you ask? Just a cool ยฃ112,745 / $152,136 ๐Ÿฅต

Full review coming soon to TopSpeedโ€ฆ but for now, letโ€™s just say Lotusโ€™ sporty DNA is alive and well in the Eletre โšก๏ธ

Spent the last week living with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N โ€” and wow ๐Ÿš€

Itโ€™s been around for a bit, but this is my first proper deep dive, and Iโ€™m already drafting features for TopSpeed and How-To Geek.

Quick? Absolutely. Practical? 100%. The kind of EV thatโ€™ll turn heads in traffic and put a grin on your face every single drive ๐Ÿ˜

If thereโ€™s one car to convert EV sceptics, this might just be it โšก๏ธ

10 days with the new Genesis Electrified G80 โšก๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

Safe to sayโ€ฆ this one got attention ๐Ÿ‘€
Had people stopping me in car parks, on the street โ€” even whilst I was taking these photos ๐Ÿ“ธ โ€” asking what it was.

Iโ€™ve been running it around town ๐Ÿ™๏ธ, took it out for a bit of a road trip ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ, and spent some time on twisty back roads ๐ŸŒณ. Not your typical EV saloon โ€” and definitely not one you see every day.

Plenty more to say, but Iโ€™ll save the full verdict for the review โ€” coming soon on TopSpeed ๐Ÿ“
