This is a new feature for Car Articles – but it’s something I hope you’ll warm to. Basically, every so often I’ll stick up something rather special – a car that you’d love to have. Indeed, it would be ‘something for the weekend’. In this pilot feature, the ‘something’ in question is the Aston Martin […]
This is part 2 of my track day coverage from Elvington – you can read part 1 here. There’s nothing quite like looking at a Lamborghini in the flesh as it were. Even compared to the next-fastest (and expensive) piece of machinery I’ve driven – a Subaru Impreza WRX for the record – it was […]
Supercars remain exactly that. They’re out of reach of 99% of the population, they pollute too much in today’s modern ‘green’ times, they are noisy, occasionally unreliable and certainly unnecessary. And yet, as car fans, we love them. Of course, this love is for a variety of reasons. For some, it’s the history. To own […]
The third Aston Martin One-77 video is now available and is well worth a watch. I’m still not sure whether I like the looks (boggly front eye lights, a hugely overlong front end), but then it wouldn’t be the first supercar that either a) divides opinion or b) looks far better in the flesh than […]

Even fewer have the same setup as Porsche – that being the rear drive, rear engine setup that is a peculiarity to the German automotive giant. Mentioning […]
This is the second part of an article devoted to my trip to Knockhill’s Official Scottish Motor Show. To read the first part click here. So, what did the afternoon bring? Well, quite a number of delights as it happens. They included: a bird of prey demonstration, supercar versus superbike (the highlight of the show […]
I’ve thought about this question before because I would like to quantify exactly what makes them special. The area of the car market I’m talking about is the really top end – not the things mind that are just expensive cruisers (such as the Rolls Royce range) but stuff with scary, balls-to-the-wall performance to go […]
