The world is changing. Every day, our pace of life seems to be that bit much more. We’re all separated from each other, travelling in our own little bubble. By all accounts, we’re also churning out more CO2, which is bad for the environment. We also pay so much for petrol and diesel that it […]
You may have seen that there’s been a discussion on the news as to whether the national speed limit should be raised to 80 miles per hour for motorways. Most people I’ve spoken to have been in agreement with this idea as many already drive (somewhat) higher than the current 70 miles per hour limit. […]
The Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is a special car – it’s the world’s first diesel full hybrid. It uses a combination of diesel and electric power, offering up four wheel drive, 200 bhp and emissions as low as 99 g/km of CO2. It is also now available for order!

We’re always being told that the reason behind speed cameras is to slow people down in order to make a certain spot less dangerous. Of course, that’s assuming that speed has actually been a factor in the accidents that have taken place previously. To be fair, it’s not rocket science to assume this, given that […]
In a not-unsurprising move, Toyota has been named the World’s Greenest Brand. Toyota continues to forge ahead with new technologies to reduce the amount of pollutants that our vehicles produce – not just when on the move but when being built too. The Interbrand report says that Toyota is “a leading example of making the […]
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 […]
New Government rules on vehicle disposal favour legitimate services over illegal, polluting scrap dealers. Services like Giveacar, that offers free green disposal or salvage auction of cars to raise money for charity will benefit from the crackdown. Their service will be essential in helping the public meet the guidelines at no personal cost. North West […]
It seems that poor weather has been sending people into 4×4 showrooms and specifically those of Land Rover. Subsequently, sales have gone up. For January 2010 sales levels were up 58% versus January 2009 nearly doubling the industry average – with Discovery up 92%, Range Rover Sport up 66%, Freelander up 57% and Range Rover […]
I’ve decided that when I reach the hallowed 100,000 miles mark in my current car, it will be time to get a new motor (provided that, of course, I’m financially in a position to do so). I have a few choices circling in my mind, but I just couldn’t face letting my Astra go whilst […]
It’s been reported that car sales have continued to rise and that October of this year has shown an increase of more than 30% over last year. The reason has been cited as the government’s ‘cash for bangers’ or car scrappage scheme. Were you one of the lucky ones to access the £2k saving on […]
