How Often Do You Check Your Tyres?

April 18, 2011 by Mr Butterscotch 2 Comments

It never fails to amaze me how little attention people actually pay to their cars.

Tyres in particular are particularly important. The four […]

April 16, 2011 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

80MPH Speed Limits Please!

April 5, 2011 by Mr Butterscotch 4 Comments

This is a call to the government – I ask for a simple and humble request that the national speed limit which applies to all signposted roads, motorways and dual carriageways for cars rises to 80 miles per hour. This is the limit in France on their motorways. Germany has de-restricted roads that can see […]

My Road Trip Slowed By Average Speed Cams

April 4, 2011 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

I’m currently on a little holiday, taking time off from my busy schedule for a little rest and recuperation. I didn’t set off too early and unfortunately hit rush hour, which I have a strange knack of doing. That wasn’t a problem though, I just took it in my stride. However, the thing that did […]

The reason for this apparent insanity is poor treatment at the dealership after the thing repeatedly went wrong. This was how he voiced his rage – having […]

It’s finally coming – the Ayrton Senna film will be arriving this year and here’s the official trailer courtesy of EVO. It looks bloody fantastic and I cannot wait to see it. Senna is a legend of the sport and some of his races are the stuff that other racers dream of.
