IT SEEMS ABSOLUTELY nobody and no website is safe from scammers, and it’s getting harder and harder to tell the scams from the genuine communications. Recently, we were planning a trip to Melbourne. We’d be travelling right across the city to get to our destination and making a number of trips into town along toll […]
THERE COMES A TIME IN LIFE when an overpowering desire to simply lock up the house, pack up the caravan and hit the open road can be denied no longer. Even a short drive on a weekend reveals just how many grey nomads (the expression came from a 1987 Australian documentary) are doing the big […]
HISTORIC CZECH AUTOMOTIVE company Praga, currently a global player in various on- and off-track racing disciplines around the world, has revealed its all-new road legal (although we doubt it will be “road legal” anywhere in Australia!) hypercar in pre-production prototype form: a high-performance, low-volume, beautifully-appointed car designed around three core principles – lightweight, carbon, petrol. […]

Chris Riley tests the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce with pricing, specs, ride and handling, safety, verdict and everything the over-50 driver needs to know. Summary: The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is an SUV based on the mechanicals of the Giulia. It’s heavier and higher, so not as much of a driver’s car. But for many people, […]
FIRST IT WAS VW WHO revisited its logo and introduced a new slimline version. Now it’s Audi’s turn. And, like Volvo did many years ago, Audi is also introducing its own font. Here at seniordriveraus we’ve always been intrigued by design, so we spoke with designer André Georgi and brand strategist Frederik Kalisch to discuss […]
MODERN TECHNOLOGY IS INCREASING exponentially, but it isn’t all good. The tendency for power windows to trap people in submerged cars has been extensively reported, and an example during the recent floods demonstrates this dramatically. A man and his partner were (stupidly) driving through a series of floodwaters in NSW when their ute’s engine ingested […]
