Sporty Spanish car maker SEAT is celebrating a remarkable sales surge as its tip for the top ‘high fashion’ car colour of 2008 – chic Candy White – is proving to be a storming success with the car cognoscenti. At the turn of the year SEAT’s marketing men earmarked white, previously a decidedly utilitarian hue […]
There are quite a few drivers on the road that have the new style photocard and counterpart license. I couldn’t find an exact stat on this, but they’ve been around for ten years now so probably there are a significant number of us using this new type of driving license. Not to worry, except for […]
On Sunday 14th September 2008, Lotus is opening its Hethel Factory gates to host an anniversary open day and is inviting enthusiasts old and new. Fresh from its global unveiling at the British International Motorshow, the new Lotus Evora will be on display as part of a development story exhibition about Hethel’s latest 2+2 sportscar. […]
