If you’re on this website then chances are you’ll have seen Top Gear. That means you’ll have heard Hammond, Clarkson and May bang on about the wonder that is Alfa Romeo cars – however they do mention the caveat. Whilst Alfa Romeos tend to be brilliant cars to drive (drivercentric if you will), they go […]
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a certain Keith G Davidson. This gentleman is none other than the Chief Executive of Breckland Technology, a company specialising in low volume, specialist sports vehicles. You’ll be familiar with a couple of their models I’d guess, namely the Tommy Kaira ZZ (if you’re of the Playstation generation […]
Apparently, Top Gear has been one of the most successful long running television programmes for a long time now. That isn’t just because it is loved by car nuts like myself, but it’s also top quality entertainment. Even if you don’t necessarily want to hear about ‘trick diffs’ on the latest Evo, you’re sure to […]
Racing drivers have some very particular attributes, one of which is obviously the ability to drive at considerable speed without crashing – as well as avoiding being overtaken by people with similar levels of skill. Here in the UK, there are a lot of people who think that they can drive – an even greater […]
I don’t know about you but I really, really begrudge paying more than £1.07 per litre. Not that exact figure mind you, but really anything more than £1. It’s a disgrace. To give you some idea, our fuel is the most expensive in Europe. Not because it is expensive anyway, oh no. It’s all due […]
I was lucky enough to be at the Renault stand when the new Koleos was unveiled. Lucky, I say, because it’s not every day you see a new car revealed. Okay, so it’s not a Ferrari. Nonetheless, this new 4×4 should garner plenty of press due to the new features it has, along with the […]
Let’s get the facts out of the way first shall we? The Ferrari California is a two door open topped sports car (well aren’t they all) that’s front mid-engined and featuring a lovely direct injection 4.3 litre V8 with an output of 453BHP. There’s no figure on the price yet, or the fuel consumption. Not […]
It seems that these days Peugeot has been undergoing a bit of a renaissance so to speak. What I mean is that the cars they are producing seem to be getting nicer interiors, better profiles and doing a little better in the depreciation stakes. Not only that, but clearly new designs are starting to get […]
This is the second part of an article devoted to my trip to Knockhill’s Official Scottish Motor Show. To read the first part click here. So, what did the afternoon bring? Well, quite a number of delights as it happens. They included: a bird of prey demonstration, supercar versus superbike (the highlight of the show […]
Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th of May were sure to have been good ones up at Knockhill Racing Circuit in Scotland, not least because it was The Official Scottish Motor Show 2008. Consequently, yours truly just had to be there for the launches, the goss and of course the track-day shenanigans that were […]
