The Ferrari F430 is a very special car in almost every respect – it looks the job, is incredibly quick and powerful, is loud and ensures you’ll get all the attention that upwards of £100,000’s worth of car can buy you. But, it’s that time again. It’s time for a replacement. The so-called ‘entry level’ […]
There’s been some absolutely brilliant racing on television today – but the best driving I’ve seen has come from a completely different type of motorsport. In my opinion, the single best demonstration of true skill behind the wheel came from none other than Jason Plato, in the third round of the British Touring Car Championship. […]
This is part 2 of my track day coverage from Elvington – you can read part 1 here. There’s nothing quite like looking at a Lamborghini in the flesh as it were. Even compared to the next-fastest (and expensive) piece of machinery I’ve driven – a Subaru Impreza WRX for the record – it was […]
Both Lewis Hamilton and McLaren have been stripped of the podium finish they received after a wonderful performance at the Australian Grand Prix. Apparently, the reasoning behind this decision was that the team and driver were responsible for “providing evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards”. Ironically, a post-race hearing moved Hamilton from fourth to third […]
In a bizarre turn-around, the government has seen fit to continue the trend of raising the price of fuel. This time round, an extra £1 has been added to a tank of fuel as prices have recently crept back up to the more than 90p per litre mark – yet no-one has deemed to say […]
Smelly car parks are set for a fragrant makeover to entice back motorists who’ve had enough of holding their nose. NCP, which operates 200,000 spaces across 700 UK locations, thinks that nasty pongs associated with car parks, could be driving away a third of potential customers (The Telegraph). Two-thirds of the 2,000 people polled by […]
Now that we seem to be having some sunny (if not warm) weather, there’s nothing better than going along to a track day – especially when you’ve been given the chance to drive both a Ferrari and a Lamborghini! It’s with this in mind that I thought I’d give you all a write-up of my […]
Supercars remain exactly that. They’re out of reach of 99% of the population, they pollute too much in today’s modern ‘green’ times, they are noisy, occasionally unreliable and certainly unnecessary. And yet, as car fans, we love them. Of course, this love is for a variety of reasons. For some, it’s the history. To own […]
A lot of modern cars are equipped with coil spring suspension – go and have a look at your car. Have you done so? Did you notice wound steel springs set up to take the up-and-down movement of the vehicle? These are your coil springs. Coil springs are unfortunately one of the most frequently damaged […]
The new Forester is a decent looking machine – which is good given that Subaru continues to be a lesser-considered badge than many others in the UK. There’s more space, practicality, better safety and greater ground clearance than the older version too. The new Forester is based on the platform of the hatchback Impreza, offering […]
