A Short Rant About Turbo Lag

July 14, 2011

Sometimes, I read or see a car review and actually wince. You’ll know if it’s a particularly bad one as I’ll do this several times as I’m reading.

How About A Sports Car? (Part 1)

April 11, 2008

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 [...]
