WOULD YOU DRIVE A RELIANT WITHOUT DOORS? MEET THE BE UP MICROCAR | A renewed look at Reliant’s bold attempt to reinvent urban mobility Extreme Sports 493 |
We return to a curious moment in British motoring when Reliant, long associated with the famously mocked Reliant Robin, tried to rewrite its story. In the early 2000s, the company stepped away from three-wheelers and unveiled the Reliant Be Up—a skeletal, open-top four-wheeler aimed squarely at young, city-focused drivers.
Styled by Giugiaro Design and manufactured by French specialist Ligier, the Be Up was anything but traditional Reliant. With no doors, an exposed frame, and playful colours, it leaned into minimalism and attitude rather than comfort. Powered by a 505cc petrol engine, the lightweight Be Up tipped the scales at around 330 kg, offering up to 75 mpg and a top speed close to 60 mph—respectable figures for an urban runabout.
We revisit how Reliant positioned the Be Up as affordable freedom on four wheels, priced at around £6,000, and pitched as a fun alternative to scooters or quad bikes. Practicality, weather protection, and safety raised obvious questions, but the concept hinted at ideas that feel familiar today—compact mobility, efficiency, and city-first design.
While the Be Up never became mainstream, it remains an intriguing chapter in the evolution of microcars and a reminder of how brands experiment when trying to stay relevant.

Would a minimalist city car like this work today—or was Reliant simply ahead of its time?

WHAT MADE ROBERT YOUNG AMERICA’S MOST TRUSTED TV DOCTOR AND DAD? | We explore again the remarkable life and legacy of the actor behind Marcus Welby and more
We revisit the career of Robert Young, one of American television’s most beloved stars—best known for bringing warmth, authority, and humanity to screens across the nation. Born Robert George Young in Chicago on February 22, 1907, he built a career that spanned more than five decades in film, radio, and television.
Young first became a household name as Jim Anderson in Father Knows Best, portraying the kind, thoughtful father figure who guided his family with patience and insight from the 1950s into the early ’60s—earning two Emmy Awards along the way.
Later, he captured a new generation’s hearts as Dr. Marcus Welby in Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969–1976), an iconic medical drama that became the first ABC show to rank No. 1 in the U.S. Television ratings and made Welby a model of compassionate, personalized care. Young’s performance won him another Emmy and a Golden Globe, cementing his place in TV history.
But behind the trusted public image was a complex personal story. Young struggled with depression and alcoholism for much of his life—challenges he later spoke about openly to help others facing similar difficulties. After a su***de attempt in 1991, he recommitted to sobriety and became a mental health advocate, with a community center named in his honor that supports mental health and addiction services in the Midwest.
Young continued working into his eighties, including television movies and commercials, until his retirement in 1988. He passed away on July 21, 1998, in Westlake Village, California, at the age of 91.
From classic sitcom dad to caring TV doctor, Robert Young helped define what it means to be a familiar and reassuring presence on screen—while facing real struggles off it.

HOW DID A SECRET WAR MACHINE SHAPE THE COMPUTER IN YOUR POCKET TODAY? | We revisit the quiet revolution that transformed computing from wartime secrecy to everyday life
We return to the origins of modern computing with a renewed look at Colossus, the British-built machine widely recognised as the world’s first programmable, digital computer. Developed during the Second World War, Colossus used thousands of thermionic valves to break encrypted codes—work so secret that its blueprints were destroyed and its pioneers went uncredited for decades.
We explore again how, by the 1960s, computers had entered the business world. Valves gave way to transistors, magnetic tape replaced paper records, and room-sized machines became indispensable—though they still demanded specialist languages and expert operators. The real turning point arrived in the 1970s with the mass production of the silicon chip, integrating thousands of components onto a single wafer and reshaping all electronics.
A fresh glance at this era shows how computing power surged, keyboards and video displays replaced punch cards, and usability took a giant leap forward. Even so, slide rules remained common well into the 1970s, as computers were still costly and far from personal.
We rediscover how the first laptop in a recognisably modern layout appeared in 1982, laying the foundation for today’s ultra-thin, high-performance devices. Since then, processing power and memory have grown exponentially. Today, microprocessors sit at the heart of smartphones, vehicles, smart homes, and global communication networks—proof that this once-hidden wartime technology now underpins everyday life.

DID YOU KNOW ROSSI MADE HISTORY AT ESTORIL (2003) WITH THIS LEGENDARY RIDE? | A renewed look at one of the defining races of the 2003 MotoGP season | Extreme Sports 492 |
We revisit MotoGP Estoril 2003, a race weekend that perfectly captured the intensity, rivalry, and momentum of that championship year. Qualifying set the tone when Loris Capirossi delivered a blistering lap to claim pole position for Ducati at the 4.2 km Estoril circuit, setting a new lap record just outside Lisbon. Close behind, fellow Italians Max Biaggi and Valentino Rossi ensured a fiercely competitive front row, with Spain’s Sete Gibernau adding pressure as the leading non-Italian contender.
Race day brought immediate drama. Biaggi launched strongly, sweeping past Capirossi and briefly leaving Rossi buried in the pack. We return to the moment Rossi began his calculated charge—dispatching Gibernau, reeling in Capirossi, and finally engaging Biaggi in a classic head-to-head battle. On lap 13, Rossi made the decisive move along the start-finish straight to seize the lead and control the race.
The victory marked Rossi’s 55th Grand Prix win, moving him ahead of Mick Doohan on the all-time wins list, with only Giacomo Agostini remaining ahead. It was also his 18th consecutive podium, underlining his dominance during the 2003 campaign and strengthening his grip on the championship standings. Biaggi finished second, while Capirossi narrowly beat Gibernau in a tense fight for third, completing an all-Italian podium.
Elsewhere, Tony Elias claimed victory in the 250cc race, while Pablo Nieto secured his first-ever 125cc Grand Prix win by a razor-thin margin. A fresh glance at Estoril 2003 shows why this race remains a benchmark moment of MotoGP’s modern era.

HOW DID FIGO AND ZIDANE TURN THIS 2001 CLASH AROUND FOR REAL MADRID? | A renewed look at a defining Spanish League night at the Bernabéu | Football Mania 35 |
We revisit a gripping Spanish League encounter from 2001, when Real Madrid faced Real Sociedad in a match that tested composure, creativity, and star power. Orchestrated by Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane, Madrid controlled long spells, but it was Sociedad who nearly stunned the hosts early with a spectacular long-range volley from Íñigo Idiakez.
As pressure mounted, Sociedad struck first. A swift move down the right released Tayfun Korkut, whose cut-back found Dmitri Khokhlov. Turning Claude Makélélé, Khokhlov fired past Iker Casillas, giving the visitors a deserved lead. Sociedad came close to doubling it moments later, only to be denied by missed chances.
We return to the turning point just before halftime, when a defensive error by Bjørn Tore Kvarme redirected the ball into his own net, restoring parity for Madrid. From there, momentum shifted. Fernando Morientes’ quick thinking sparked the comeback, followed by a clinical finish from Raúl, who slipped his shot past the keeper from a tight angle.
Late drama followed when Zidane was fouled in the box. Newly crowned World Player of the Year, Luis Figo, calmly converted the penalty to seal a 3–1 victory. A fresh glance at a match that highlights how experience, patience, and decisive moments defined Real Madrid’s title ambitions during the Galácticos era.

CAN LIFELONG LEARNING REALLY PROTECT YOUR BRAIN FROM DEMENTIA? | A fresh glance at how education, creativity, and curiosity shape brain health over time
We revisit a powerful idea that has gained even stronger scientific backing in recent years: education is one of the most effective tools for long-term brain health. Research now consistently links lifelong learning with a significantly reduced risk of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, thanks to the concept of cognitive reserve—the brain’s ability to build and maintain strong neural networks.
Keeping the brain mentally active through learning helps strengthen connections between brain cells. Importantly, modern neuroscience confirms that the brain does not dramatically lose cells with age; instead, unused connections weaken. The good news? New neural pathways can form at any stage of life, whether you are 30, 50, or well beyond.
However, experts emphasize balance. Learning should be engaging, varied, and stress-free. Excessive pressure while studying can impair memory formation rather than enhance it. Social interaction also plays a crucial role—participating in group learning, discussion, or creative classes supports both emotional wellbeing and cognitive function.
Beyond academics, activities such as art, music, languages, dance, and crafts are now widely recognized for helping older adults maintain sharper thinking and independence for longer. Studies in geriatric care consistently show that individuals who remain creatively and socially engaged retain their cognitive abilities more effectively than those with sedentary routines.
From adult education programs to online courses and simple daily reading, the options today are virtually limitless. We explore again why curiosity, creativity, and continuous learning may be among the most accessible tools for healthy aging.

So, what would you learn next if you knew your brain would thank you for it?

DID YOU KNOW ALAN GIBBS CREATED A 100MPH AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE IN THE UK | A renewed look at the Aquada Sports Amphibian and Britain’s bold engineering leap. | Extreme Sports 491 |
We revisit one of the most ambitious engineering projects ever developed in the UK: the Gibbs Aquada Sports Amphibian. After seven years of intensive research and development, entrepreneur Alan Gibbs and a specialist team in Warwickshire, England, unveiled a vehicle designed to operate seamlessly on both road and water.
Capable of exceeding 100 mph on land and 30 mph on water, the Aquada was neither a modified car nor a wheeled boat. It was conceived as a true third category—an authentic amphibian. With a sealed hull, retractable wheels, marine jet propulsion, and a six-second transition between driving and sailing modes, the Aquada challenged long-standing assumptions in automotive and marine engineering.
The project involved nearly 70 engineers, close to one million development hours, and the filing of around 60 patents, while meeting both global automotive and maritime regulations—often conflicting standards that required entirely new solutions. The vehicle’s open-top design eliminated doors to preserve hull integrity, while its jet system provided enough thrust for high-speed water travel.
At launch, the Aquada was positioned as a premium, limited-production vehicle aimed at waterfront cities such as London, New York, Sydney, and Hong Kong, with an initial price of around £150,000. While large-scale commercial adoption remained limited, the Aquada’s real legacy lies in its High Speed Amphibian Technology, which influenced later applications in recreation, emergency response, and military mobility concepts.
Today, we explore again how this project proved that British engineering, innovation, and cross-disciplinary design could still redefine what vehicles are capable of.

WHAT MAKES ALBERTA FERRETTI A TIMELESS FORCE IN ITALIAN FASHION? | A renewed look at the designer who redefined modern romance on the global runway
We return to the enduring story of Alberta Ferretti, one of Italy’s most influential fashion designers, celebrated for transforming femininity into a modern, wearable art form. For decades, her name has been synonymous with ethereal gowns, fluid silhouettes, and a refined balance of strength and softness that continues to shape red-carpet fashion worldwide.
Growing up in her mother’s dress shop, Ferretti was immersed early in fabrics, colour, and craftsmanship. She opened her first boutique at just 18, began designing in the 1970s, and by the 1980s launched her own label on the Milan Fashion Week calendar—where it became a lasting presence. Her mastery of chiffon, georgette, and delicate layering helped define a romantic yet contemporary aesthetic embraced across generations.
By the 1990s, Alberta Ferretti designs were stocked by leading luxury retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, while Hollywood took notice. Her creations have appeared on global icons including Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale, Tina Fey, and Saoirse Ronan, cementing her status as a red-carpet favourite.
Beyond design, we revisit her entrepreneurial impact. Ferretti co-founded the Aeffe Group, now a major force in luxury fashion production and distribution. She also introduced Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, a younger, more contemporary line that blended romantic heritage with modern attitude.
In recent years, Ferretti stepped back from day-to-day creative direction, but her legacy remains firmly woven into Italian fashion. Her vision—romantic, intelligent, and enduring—continues to influence designers and define elegance in motion.

Does modern fashion still draw its softness and strength from Alberta Ferretti’s original vision?

HOW DID JIM MORRISON TURN THE DOORS INTO A ROCK LEGEND THAT STILL DRAWS CROWDS TODAY? | A fresh glance at the band, the myth, and the legacy that refuses to fade
We revisit the extraordinary story of The Doors, formed in Los Angeles in 1965, and the magnetic force that made them one of the most influential American rock bands of all time. With timeless tracks like Light My Fire, Riders on the Storm, The End, and albums such as Morrison Hotel, their sound reshaped rock with poetry, blues, and psychedelia.
At the center stood Jim Morrison—charismatic, controversial, and endlessly compelling. His death in Paris on July 3, 1971, at just 27, brought the original era of The Doors to a close, but not their cultural impact. Decades later, fans continue to gather at Père Lachaise Cemetery, making Morrison’s grave one of the most visited musical landmarks in the world.
This renewed look also explores a lesser-known chapter: a rediscovered 1964 Florida State University film showing a clean-cut, pre-fame Morrison—an arresting contrast to the rebel poet persona that would later define him. The footage offers rare insight into the man before the myth.
While Morrison is gone, the music endures. Surviving members John Densmore and Robby Krieger, along with the late Ray Manzarek, ensured The Doors’ catalogue lived on through reissues, tributes, and later projects that introduced their work to new generations. The result is a legacy that still resonates across rock, film, and popular culture.

DID TONY RICKARDSSON HALT THE WORLD SPEEDWAY SHOWDOWN IN GOTHENBURG? | A renewed look at the race night where rider safety overruled the championship chase | Extreme Sports 490 |
We revisit a dramatic moment from the World Speedway season at Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg, when a packed crowd and a wide-open title race collided with serious safety concerns. With five rounds producing five different winners, anticipation was high—but the spotlight quickly shifted from competition to caution.
The track, laid just a week earlier, deteriorated rapidly. Deep ruts formed from the opening heat, making classic speedway slides nearly impossible. Riders struggled for control even on the straights as the surface revealed itself to be both uneven and rock-hard. Todd Wiltshire claimed Heat Two, yet his visible frustration reflected a shared concern across the paddock.
After three heats, discussions intensified among the riders. At the forefront was Swedish icon and reigning world champion Tony Rickardsson, whose leadership proved decisive. With the growing risk of serious injury impossible to ignore, officials chose to postpone the event to the following week—disappointing fans, but aligning with the modern motorsport priority of athlete safety above all else.

This moment remains a defining example of how elite racing balances spectacle with responsibility. Would you have made the same call?

ZIDANE AND FIGO LEAD THE CHARGE – COULD THIS TENERIFE WIN DEFINE REAL MADRID’S TITLE PUSH? | A renewed look at a crucial La Liga away night from the 2001 season | Football Mania 34 |
We return to a pivotal moment in Real Madrid’s 2001 La Liga campaign, when Zinedine Zidane and Luís Figo spearheaded a disciplined away performance against Tenerife. After a stuttering start to the season, Madrid arrived at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López knowing a victory would lift them to the top of the table and restore belief in their title ambitions.
Madrid, in their striking black-and-white kit, controlled early proceedings through Zidane’s composure in midfield. A brief defensive misunderstanding between Francisco Pavón and goalkeeper Iker Casillas almost gifted Tenerife an opening, but the visitors soon found their rhythm. Claude Makélélé’s incisive pass released Iván Helguera, who finished confidently to give Madrid the lead.
The second half demanded focus. Casillas was forced into a sharp save from Iván Ania, while Madrid threatened repeatedly through Raúl, Albert Celades, and Figo. Deep into injury time, Figo’s dangerous free-kick caused panic in the Tenerife defence, leading to a foul on Fernando Hierro. Figo stepped up and calmly converted the penalty to seal a 2–0 win.
With fresh perspective, this match reflects how Madrid blended control, experience, and star quality—key ingredients that defined their success in Spanish football’s modern era.

COULD A DESERT HOLIDAY ACTUALLY HEAL THE LAND? A SUSTAINABLE ECO ESCAPE REVISITED | A fresh glance at eco-tourism where nature, culture, and conservation meet
We return to a different vision of travel—one designed to slow you down while giving something back. In this renewed look at desert eco escapes, we explore destinations created to exist in harmony with their surroundings, not dominate them.
Far from crowded resorts and concrete skylines, this experience is about living lightly. Imagine lodges that blend organically into the landscape, where oryx roam freely and wildlife remains undisturbed. Here, the idea of luxury is redefined: fewer screens, fewer distractions, and more meaningful connections with nature.
Days unfold with ancient traditions—camel riding across open sands, falconry rooted in centuries of desert culture, and creative moments that replace modern conveniences. By switching off devices, visitors reconnect with rhythm, silence, and space.
What makes this eco escape especially relevant today is its regenerative approach. Tourism revenue is channelled directly into land rehabilitation, restoring vegetation, supporting biodiversity, and ensuring the environment leaves stronger than it was found. Modern sustainable travel now goes beyond “doing less harm”—it focuses on actively improving ecosystems.
This is travel with intention. A place where your presence supports conservation, local heritage, and long-term environmental balance.
