,
£46

Here’s a properly sweet little gadget and another
manifestation of the current industry obsession of getting
Alexa to work our cars (even though she’s probably quite busy
sorting out the rest of our lives).
The Viva here is made by technology giants Anker (available
on Amazon here in the UK) and it’s one of the simplest ways
to get Alexa and handsfree-calling in your motor. You simply
plug this one into you fag lighter and that’s about it. Then
you can just say the word for directions, Spotify playlists,
turning up the heating at home and all those other things the
real love of our lives can do. It also features dual high-speed
charging ports. Because. Well. Who doesn’t need more of
those nowadays? Not bad at all for under a nifty.

Rota EG6, £150 (each)
There are rare occasions when a wheel comes
along that’s nothing like what we’ve seen before.
We’re not even sure how to classify the EG6, other
than assuming Rota went a bit nuts with a classic
fl at-faced wheel and a CNC machine. They’ve
ended up with more holes here than your average
broth… (OK that’s enough, Midge – Jules).
But it’s all in a good way of course. This new
hoop is nothing short of stunning. And there’s also
a sweet selection of centre colours, too.
Usable 7x16s are a rare addition to the market
nowadays and that’s a massive shame when
they can be as jaw-dropping as these puppies.
Seriously well played fellas.
