The Cupra performance car brand from Volkswagen has teamed with 3Arena in Dublin to provide information about its range of cars, writes Brian Byrne. On the reasoning that music is very important in Irish culture and that the Cupra brand likes to be associated with music, the partnership means that over a million people attending gigs in the Dublin venue each year will have access to ‘touchpoints’ offering insights into the Cupra range. The models to date include the Formentor SUV, the Leon hatchnack and Leon Sportstourer, the Ateca SUV and the 100pc electric Born.

An Irish buyer is the lucky owner of the 100,000th Polestar 2 delivered globally by the Swedish carmaker, writes Brian Byrne. The all-electric car with special 100,000th badging was leased by Dubliner Tony Lanigan, who works with Creative Technology Ireland (CT) which provides outsourced technology, staging and production services to event organisers and content creators. He also received a design book signed by Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath at the car’s handover at the Polestar Space in Sandyford, Dublin. 

We have visited Majorelle gardens a couple of times, but for this first visit the gardens were exceptional! Everywhere was so tidy, staff were around clearing the paths, it was like a breath of fresh air. Typically Moroccan, as you would expect, it was fantastic to see gardeners using different techniques to us in northern Europe to cope with the hotter dryer conditions. Recently Lorna had reminded me that I have taken some footage here, something that I didn’t remember doing – which was fair as it was 13 years ago!  However, after an argument, I was made to go into the loft and drag out the old video camera. Of course Lorna was right, there was enough footage to make this short video from the previously lost footage.
