In this video, the extremely lucky Jamie Corstorphine drives the new Ferrari 458 on the road and track. You can see the real evolution between the 430 and the 458 – just look as those beautiful curves, the angular lines on the bonnet and the triple exhaust. Ferrari have once again created one of the […]
Skoda UK has announced that Guy Wilks, the double British Rally champion, will compete at this year’s Rally of Scotland – the final event of the 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) series, taking place on 19th-21st November. Wilks (28) from Darlington will drive a Škoda UK-sponsored Skoda Fabia Super 2000, run by Rene George Rally […]
There are some wild rumours going around about just where Jenson Button is going to end up for the 2010 F1. Stories persist that Button had expectations of his salary going back up to £8 million – the mark that he was at prior to Honda bowing out of F1 before Brawn swooped in. Apparently […]
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 and purposeful. Here’s the official […]
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 like this. […]
The new Mazda3 MPS has seen a residual values claim boost from industry experts, CAP. Apparently, the launch this Autumn of the new model has seen a rise in the value of the model second hand, with plaudits coming from car valuation experts. Depreciation is a big factor in the cost of any car, so […]
It’s been reported that car sales have continued to rise and that October of this year has shown an increase of more than 30% over last year. The reason has been cited as the government’s ‘cash for bangers’ or car scrappage scheme. Were you one of the lucky ones to access the £2k saving on […]
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 shows how good […]
I rarely talk about sales levels on the blog – for me it’s a bit of a no-no. Sure, it’s probably useful information if you’re in the industry, but if you’re on the consumer side of the fence do you really care that a manufacturer sold x amount of cars? Well, this news story is […]
This is simply one of my favourite Top Gear videos of all time. The Nissan GT-R is a proper Japanese performance car. Immense speed, grip, cornering ability and all manner of electronics going on in the background to keep you on the straight and narrow. Some perhaps were even more impressed that it managed to […]
