As we consistently move ever increasing amounts of stuff, the pressure on our drivers and those who take to our roads reaches an all time high. There is now a new emphasis on using the latest technology to help our road users stay safe.

New Honda Jazz Review: A Younger Crowd?
It's fair to say that the Honda Jazz in its previous form has had its fair share of negative publicity over the years. The age old jokes about Hondas, the Jazz itself and even its drivers are easy to come by, but in its new guise, Honda have embarked on a mission to upgrade and modernise the ageing small runabout - and perhaps liven its target audience up a bit too.

Zach Both: Converted Cargo Van
Zach Both is a director, photographer and designer who was featured in Slate Magazine recently with his pretty incredible cargo van conversion. He bought the van for a few thousand, and has done what many people before him have done, converting it into a pretty cool living space.
Pretty amazingly he's managed to create a sense of space and light that is often missing from conversions like this - with a proper space to work, a very comfortable looking bed and lots of clean, contemporary fittings. I especially love the blackboards that fold out. Ideas boards, shutters and windows all in one. Brilliant.

If these pictures don't inspire you enough, have a look at 'The Vanual' that Zach has created that will take you through his steps, and give you some indication on how to complete a similar project yourself.

Passenger Clothing & Barry Mottershead: Off the Grid in Baja
Barry Mottershead is a Passenger Clothing Ambassador. Born in Cape Town, he now lives in Sligo, Ireland and spends his time kayaking, surfing or generally in the water and exploring the coast as much as possible. My kind of guy.
Anyway, Off the Grid in Baja is a wonderful little film about an adventure south that lasted 14 days down the coast of Baja California. A fantastic example of exploration with a trusty 4x4, a load of well packed stuff and great company. And some great landscape...

Springtime with the Fiat 500X
After reviewing the Fiat 500's sister car, the rugged and charming Jeep Renegade, I was looking forward to taking the Fiat 500X for a run. The ever expanding Fiat 500 family is providing what appears to be a growing list of appealing diversity in the range, and understandably Fiat are keen to capitalise on the retro 500's success. Indeed, a raised, beefed up Fiat 500 doesn't exactly look amiss on the roads of the UK - I took one to Cornwall for a springtime roadtrip to see if its bolstered looks stacked up.
