Unless you’ve been in a cave (or simply aren’t interested in how much fuel you have to buy and what’s in it), you will have heard of the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO). This is a fairly simple rule that says 2.5% of all petrol and diesel sold on UK forecourts must come from renewable […]
Car owners could now face fines if they (or indeed their passengers) throw litter from their vehicle if they are caught on camera. This is a move being considered by the government to reduce the amount of fly tipping/littering that takes place from our various vehicles. Ministers are holding talks with town hall chiefs around […]
In my last article, I took a look at ‘green’ cars that you could buy – stuff that if you drove it every day it wouldn’t try too hard to stuff up the environment on your way to work. What I’m going to do in this article is exactly the opposite. Why, I’m sure you’re […]
There’s no doubt that going ‘green’ is at least somewhere on everyone’s agenda at the moment, whether they are a motorist or not. I’d certainly recommend though, if you drive a car, that you look again at exactly what it costs. This includes your own driving style, and whether you’re a bit heavy with the […]
I have no understanding whatsoever of why you’d buy a Porsche Cayenne of any variety. Let me just get that off my chest. I do wonder whether the Cayenne buyer goes to the dealership, sees a 911 and then says ‘no wait, I need something bigger than this‘. That’s fair enough, the 911, whilst iconic, […]
In today’s climate, where petrol can cost almost 110p per litre (of which about 70p would go to the government), it is important to consider fuel economy. I’m not talking about the environment; I really see that as a separate issue. I’m purely considering your wallet here, and how to be less of a […]
Apparently, the best thing to buy these days is a Mini. Why is that, I hear you ask? Well, very simple. The Mini is the most popular car on the social networking site Facebook. I guess they found that out through one of their scientific surveys of course. Well, there’s 24,000 members of Mini Cooper […]
What on Earth am I saying? Well, if the government has its own way, we’ll all be only allowed to park on our own driveways, and only just. Of course, this is only just an over-dramatisation, when in fact I’m leading into telling you all about the new parking rules and regulations. From today, April […]
As we’ve already mentioned a way to win tickets for the BTCC, I thought it would only be fair to follow this up with an article on the (now under way) BTCC. Whilst it is fair to say that Lewis Hamilton has once again put Formula 1 on the grid (no pun intended) for a […]
It is of course now confirmed that the Indian conglomerate Tata is the proud owner of two traditionally British marques, Land Rover and Jaguar. Apparently this all came to conclusion over months of painstaking negotiations, along with several new cars from the various marques such as Tata’s Nano (shown, the ultra small, ultra cheap new […]
