When the Defender arrived, I had this fond hope that I’d spend a sizeable amount of the few months it is to spend with me slithering around the greenery, using all my wits and all its tech to maintain progress off the beaten track. But that’s not what’s happened.

First, life gets in the way. The Intercooler has an insatiable appetite for content and producing it, either by writing it myself or processing the words of others to ready them for publication takes time. Enormous amounts of time. As does the rather large project we’re working on at present, which I probably shouldn’t talk about here but which will be free to all Ti subscribers, should have a transformational effect on our offering and which we hope to have with you shortly. And you can probably work it out from there.

2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio review

It’s been eight years, but is the hot Giulia now finally the car it should have been from the start? Dan Prosser is the man behind the wheel
