The standard Insignia is looking to be quite a special car – however the Sports Tourer looks to be even better. Whether it’s hugely more practical or a true ‘lifestyle’ choice remains to be seen though, you probably need four wheel drive and Japanese-build durability for that! Vauxhall said: “Available in late Spring 2009, the […]
Any marquee producing a new car is going to be news. Not least because the word ‘marque’ normally denotes the fact that you’re talking about one of those posh makes normally reserved for the exceptionally rich in this life. This case is no exception – however the car itself looks amazing. I’m talking about the […]
Here in the UK, we don’t tend to do muscle cars. They really were born in the US, out of good times in Detroit and even earlier. So, is this a bizarrely-timed April fools’ joke? Not a chance. James Martin (not the famous chef) has to my mind at least created something very special indeed. […]
Well, as I’ve documented all progress and information received so far, here’s the official race briefing. I was glad to receive it and find out I had a later race (I’m quite a way from Scotland so an early race would have been terrible) but now that I have the actual briefing I’m a little […]
I’m keen for the police to be safely conducting their business, protecting us from criminals and the like. At times, no doubt they have to exceed speed limits using their extra training they receive to operate with skill behind the wheel to conduct manoeuvres to box in joy riders and so forth.

Perhaps we should start naming and shaming everyone who does this – after all, it seriously impedes your reactions when driving and what if a celeb (or heaven forbid) a normal person does it whilst your child is playing out the street? Not a nice thought is it. Use of hand held mobile phones in […]
My mother is at the moment considering the purchase of a new car. When I say new car, what I mean is that it will be a new car to her – so possibly used. However, she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of purchasing brand new. On top of that, she also has no idea […]
For many, the Corsa VXR is the darling of the VXR range – it isn’t too unwieldy like the Astra, it isn’t ridiculous like the Zafira. It is just right, a well balanced, exceptionally quick hot hatch with great looks. An uprated, very safe small car that is just as much at home larking about […]
Sounds like some sort of crazed pornographic nightmare doesn’t it? It isn’t though. It’s simply the official snap of the new Bugatti Veyron – sans a roof. It’s called the Grand Sport, a bit of a misnomer given that if you’re using it for ‘sport’ you’d probably want one with a top. It is, after […]
As I’m still amazed at car owners’ lack of knowledge, I thought it was high time to continue my highly prized education series of posts in order to get you all up to speed on what your car is, what it does and why it does it. Today, I’d like you all to consider the […]
