January 14, 2010

Auto Express has some shots of the new Mazda RX-7. They’re only spy pics as the official model hasn’t been announced yet, but if you’re a driver with more ‘experience’ shall we say, you might remember the original RX-7 as a mental powerhouse of a sportscar with a wonderful rotary engine. Whilst it’s [...]

January 12, 2010

I haven’t written very much about the Mercedes SLS, which is surprising as I think it’s a fantastic looking thing. So, to rectify this error, I thought I would share with you all the Autocar review and commentary shown in the video above. Very nice interior, very stiff and hugely powerful. Want [...]

BMW X1 Fifth Gear Review

January 8, 2010

I’d be interesting to know what you all think of the review above. I actually quite like the mini 4×4 looks – it’s a bit more ‘honest’ than the X3 (which according to some has very little off-road ability too) and it isn’t being sold as a ‘go everywhere, do anything’ vehicle. Rather, [...]
