The Mail Online has an article that states 9/10 parking tickets that are issued end up quashed – so why bother issuing them in the first place? It’s an extremely good question. Tickets have their place, no doubt. When a car is causing a minor obstruction or has been left in a dangerous place then […]
James May provides yet another insightful article at The Times Online, discussing why we’re so obsessed with performance figures. To a degree, I’d say he’s right, especially with so many cars with similar levels of performance these days. Perhaps we’re almost reaching a plateau, where the next development in supercars won’t be to hit 0-60 […]
Yahoo is reporting on a story about synthetic petrol that’s in development. It could cost as little as 19p per litre – but of course it never will. Just like ‘natural’ petrol it’ll have duty and VAT added (including VAT you pay on your duty!) which will bring it to around 70p per litre if/when […]
Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica has been injured following a rally car smash into a church wall in Italy that took place on Sunday morning. You can read more about the crash at the BBC Sport website. As always, we at Car Articles wish Kubica all the best and a swift recovery. Renault will not […]
The BBC has a new article on some features that could soon be coming to motorbikes – to make them much more safe than they are now.

In what may well be a confirmation of a prediction I made on this site, Yahoo have ran an article stating that we may soon be paying up to £70 in order to get a full tank of petrol. Worse still, diesel could be up to £1.40 per litre, which isn’t unbelievable when current prices […]
Apparently, New York state is seeking a new form of transport for the masses who go private hire, as the current taxi is uneconomical and uncomfortable. The Ford Crown Victoria may be iconic, but it’s also a bit of a joke, coming in at 12 MPG just isn’t acceptable any more, unless your car has […]
In this article on the Top Gear website Greger Huttu is invited to drive a very fast single seater race car around Road Atlanta. Never heard of him? Well, that’s not surprising really. That’s because Huttu is the champion of iRacing virtual racing simulation, so he’s not exactly a household name. The purpose though, was […]
CarBuyer is the latest website offering reviews of all the newest cars out there. It’s from the guys and gals behind Auto Express and includes videos, features and more. I’d certainly recommend taking a look to see whether your list of possible vehicles is on there. It’s more appealing than the endless 11/20 or 12/20 […]
Top Gear magazine, today announced that the Peugeot RCZ is its ‘Coupé of the Year’ 2010. The UK’s best selling automotive magazine took its assessment of the RCZ to the extreme by road testing it in Northern China in the proximity of the Great Wall; the first time the Peugeot RCZ has been in the […]
