Godzilla Has Arrived In My Neighbourhood!

June 27, 2009

Look at that machine!  Yes, the Nissan GT-R has now arrived firmly in my neighbourhood.  The four exhaust, 3.6 secs to 60 monster was on a pedestal at a local dealership, alongside a new Nissan 370Z.  Both nice cars, but it was a bit silly to put them side by side when the GT-R (Godzilla) [...]

The Stig Revealed: Behind The Scenes

June 22, 2009

I thought you’d all appreciate this video – it is after all The Stig being revealed.  Or is it?  Top Gear made a welcome return to the Beeb last night, but whether it actually showed you who the real ‘man in white’ was – well that remains another question altogether.  There are some out there [...]

The current debacle over the future of Formula 1 racing has just got a little more stupid.  Rather than trying to get to the bottom of the various issues (such as the budget cap) that are dictating which teams will be involved in the 2010 Grand Prix, things have now descended into name calling.  In [...]

Peugeot Are Le Mans 24 Hours 2009 Champions

June 17, 2009

Whilst I was away, the Le Mans 24 Hours race was taking place.  Audi and Peugeot have previously fought tooth and nail for position at the front of the grid, especially as recent rules have favoured diesel engines.  This has meant that both teams have fielded extraordinarily powerful LMP (Le Mans Prototypes) that feature engines [...]
