I had the opportunity to drive the 2012 650i convertible in early June. You can read my review of it at Wired.com.

And none other than Herb Chambers himself was behind the wheel.

As if seeing such a rare supercar isn’t enough of a thrill, this particular Pearl Brown LFA gained a few minutes of internet superstardom when it appeared for sale on eBay. Before that, it was photographed at a Herb Chambers Cars and Coffee event.

Thoughts on the color combination? I think it’s quite attractive — and at least unique.

One on CarCheckup’s OBD II-based spy tool that proved my father is a better driver than we all thought, and another on the questionably-styled Lincoln MKT. And no, I didn’t write the headline for the latter. Both appear at Wired.com.

It’s worth reading for the great comparos, and for my piece on car hacking. On newsstands and online now.

I got to drive a Bentley Mulsanne (sapphire black, saddle interior and oak trim) for a long weekend, and you’ll soon get to read the review.

March was a busy month, and it’s showing in April!

Welcome to itskeithbarry.com, the online home of writer Keith Barry.

I’m Keith. I’m glad that you’ve found my site, where all my work is in one place.

In addition to links to my latest work for other publications, at itskeithbarry.com you’ll find exclusive car reviews, photos and musings that can be found nowhere else. If you’re a fan, like the page on Facebook, make a bookmark, follow me on Twitter at itskeithbarry, subscribe to my RSS — heck, print if off and make photocopies to pass out on the street if that’s your thing.

I started reading magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend back when I had to sound out the word “Chevrolet,” so it’s hard to say what a thrill it is to get the chance to write about cars. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

Thanks for reading,
