I signed off the first instalment of my Honda Del Sol story with the line “I shall try not to leave it so long until the next update”. That was precisely 1 year, 2 months and 2 days ago, and was also the last time the Wreckless Abandon blog was updated. It is perhaps safe to conclude that I’m not very good at this game!

The Del Lolz – A Year On
An email dropped into my inbox a few days ago, it was a reminder from Greenlight that the insurance on my little Honda Del Sol was due for renewal. This came as a bit of a shock, not due to the price I must stress as that was very reasonable, but as I could scarcely believe it had already spent a year in my ownership. As I thought about this for a while it became slowly more plausible, as I reminisced about events and memories that had come and gone in the previous 12 months. My initial disbelief stemmed from the fact I felt I had achieved very little with the car whose V5 I had scribbled on in the dying embers of May 2015.
The Tarmac Terrorist – A Retrospective
This is a feature I wrote on my Mazda MX5, which was originally published in Japanese Performance Magazine Issue 142, dated November 2012. I have combined it with a smattering of pictures taken throughout the first 3 years of the build, between 2009 and the feature date. The car continued to evolve for a further year beyond this, and I shall endeavour to release a follow up post covering this very soon. In the meantime please enjoy this little retrospective!
Wreckless Autos – A Not So Brief History
So now, after much deliberation and procrastination, I have finally started this blog, I feel it appropriate to award all you readers with a bit of an introduction. This is especially aimed at those of you who don’t know me personally, or have only known me for a short time, but may be just as interesting for those that do, acting as a reminder of past endeavours you may have forgotten. This post, as with the bulk posts to come no doubt, will revolve around one thing, and one thing only… Cars.
