Stuck with a free car in Lockdown
I chat with founder of Automotive Affairs https://www.youtube.com/automotiveaffairs and freelance motoring journalist, Nauman Farooq. Originally from Pakistan he's lived in the Middle East and Far East and has actually been following my work since I first started out in 1989. What drives him, what fuels him, how has he got to where he is, how did he get Rolls-Royce to lend him a Phantom 8, what favourite car do we have in common, and how did he end up with a free car during lockdown? All is revealed in this video.

Cannonball Run Record broken & Bargain Shelbys in Lockdown Dubai
'Brown Car Guy and Buddies' Catching up with my dear friend and founding partner on Motoring Middle East (which he still runs) we extensively cover the Cannonball Run and the latest effort to beat the coast-to-coast record; explain why trucks are cool, as is the Civic Type R, but supercars are not; reveal our least and most favourite BMW SUVs; where in the world to bag a bargain 760bhp Shelby GT 500 Ford Mustang; and I inadvertantly leave instructions for my own funeral arrangements in particular with regards to donuts - of both kind! Do let me know what you think of this video and other conversations I've had with friends and colleagues.

India's top car journo on Stirling Moss, owning 27 bikes & 7000 model cars
In a new series semi-formally titled 'Brown Car Guy and Buddies' I try to catch up with people online during this virtually global lockdown and talk cars and stuff. Adil Jal Darukhanawala is India's pioneering and leading motoring journalist, he's also an author of multiple books, massive collector of motorbikes, an even bigger collector of model cars and an all round great bloke and good friend. He talks about how his career in motoring journalist kicked off with an argument, his passion for bikes and motorsports and how the automotive industry and car culture in India has developed. Plus of course he talks about meeting the late Sir Stirling Moss and how he will remember him. There's insight into what he's most looking forward to this year once the lockdowns lift, and crucial tips for all wannabe motoring journalists. We pack a lot into this 30 minute conversation, so grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy! And do let me know what you think of this video and other conversations I've had with friends and colleagues. To order Adil's books as mentioned in the video contact him directly by email at [email protected] You can also find him on https://www.instagram.com/adiljal/ https://twitter.com/adiljal As mentioned - don't forget to check out exclusive content from at https://www.patreon.com/shahzadsheikh Please subscribe to my channel for more videos like this - and make sure you hit the bell icon to switch on notifications.

Ep 16: Murray's future pod succeeds McLaren F1 plus Nissan's lullaby for EVs that puts you to sleep
Mad Murray's future pod succeeds McLaren F1 plus Nissan's EV lullaby | Brown Car Guy Update 11022020 The father of the McLaren F1, Gordan Murray's futurist concept is a single-seat EV autonomous pod-like tiny car - what do you make of this? Clever or naff? Meanwhile electric cars are a kind of 'nightmare' for 51% of parents who regularly take their small children out in a car to put them to sleep. It doesn't work as well in silent EVs, so Nissan has come up with the 'Dream Drive Lullaby'.

Ep 15: Cadillac Escalade 2021 & secret million deal
Cadillac Escalade 2021 & secret million deal | Brown Car Guy Update 10022020 I've been checking the magnificent beast that is the new 2021 Cadillac Escalade online - it's gargantuan, futuristic and pretty awesome. I love it and would love to do a review. I've driven previous versions and it reminded me of an amazing gangster / heist / secret rendezvous mini movie we produced back in 2016 with the Escalade for Cadillac Middle East when I was at Motoring Middle East.

Interview with Ant Anstead of Wheeler Dealers
Ant Anstead really doesn't know what car Mike Brewer has bought until he steps out the door of the Wheeler Dealers garage.

He also talked about his own designed and built car, the Comet from Dowsett cars, and revealed his plans for the future including a series showing how to build a car from scratch and possibly making his own concept car!
