Voiced acted by Owen Wilson, Lightning McQueen is easily recognisable by all ages thanks to Pixar Animation Studios successful series, Cars.

 

Into the third installment of the animation series, most of us probably have no idea what car it is actually based on. Is it a Corvette?Or maybe a Charger? Or something else?

 

Let Mike Fernie of Drivetribe and ex-Top Gear host James May break down the cars that make up Lightning McQueen for you in the video below.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet.

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 1

    It used to be that when a person was visiting China for the first time, the natural choice was Beijing. No better way to learn about a country than a visit to its capital, amirite?

In recent times though, the southwestern parts of China have gotten much coverage on social media. Chongqing, the country’s largest c

    The art of doing nothing?

    Here’s a quick fun fact for those who’ve sworn themselves entirely off TikTok, out of the fear of having to run yet another social media account: You don’t actually need to log in to the app to scroll it. Quite incredibly (but also quite scarily), the platform’s algorithm is still able to curate an incredible array of videos that it thinks will make you want to keep scrolling. And for this existential-crisis-ridden 28-year old, it’s decided to feed videos more along the 'self-help’ route re
