November 11, 2009

Yesterday, I posted a video of what the new S60 might look like. Today, I have great pleasure in showing you. The above images are official folks, so what do you think? I’m impressed I must say. It looks very sporty indeed. Almost M5 in presence, the profile looks sleek [...]

Volvo S60 – Blind Preview

November 10, 2009

It’s not every day that you see this – so I thought I’d highlight it. The new Volvo S60 is sure to be a reliable, quality and above all interesting product (that last statement not something you can say about every Volvo). However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a promotional video quite [...]

Jeremy Clarkson’s Ford Fiesta Review

November 7, 2009

Yesterday I wrote about the sales success of the Ford Fiesta. I also briefly mentioned a review that Top Gear conducted, or rather a certain Jezza Clarkson performed on BBC2 (season 12, episode 6). If you’re looking for a ‘proper’ review then go elsewhere. However, if you’re after some entertaining TV that [...]

This is simply one of my favourite Top Gear videos of all time. The Nissan GT-R is a proper Japanese performance car.

Well, the plucky little fella is at it again – this time injuring himself apparently by going running. Whilst this doesn’t compare at all with his previous injuries sustained in his crash driving a drag car, nonetheless the other string of incidents shows that he’s more than a little accident prone.

The Golf R and Scirocco R are now available to order. Both are absolutely brilliant looking cars, as you can see in the above image.
