Poor weather is on the way. This includes wind, rain and there’s a forecast for snow this month too (I know, after this sunny reprieve as well!). Cars do not simply maintain themselves. With that in mind, here are five things I’d recommend checking regularly as we come into poorer weather and darker nights: 1) […]
In this video, Autocar reviews the wonderful BAC Mono that I wrote about recently. Naturally, they love it. Watch the video to see just how much.
Here’s the latest from Carparts-Direct.co.uk regarding the wonderful state of British roads! Councils across the UK are shelling out every day to irate motorists. £200 is the average compensation for vehicles damaged by potholes. There were 22,000 successful claims last year alone. And it’s all taxpayers’ money. Shoddy road maintenance costs drivers 6 times more […]
If you don’t know much about car history, then you should watch all of the Fifth Gear Legends shows on youtube. This is of course the Ford Lotus Cortina, an (at the time) hot saloon car. Colin Chapman added lightness and Lotus fettled it with their driving ethos. It is a true legend of a […]
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. […]

Olivier Demangel is a 3D artist. He’s created some concept redesigns of the Ferrari 458 Italia that are extremely pretty indeed. You can see them on his website. My favourite is the redesign in white, which looks almost like a mix between the Ferrari 458 Italia and the McLaren MP4-12C.
In my opinion, nothing can cause greater chaos on roads than when the layout has been poorly designed. The city in which I live has some road networks that appear to have been thought through by some sort of madman, what with car lanes, no car lanes and access routes crossing over each other at […]
If you’ve got an HD monitor, upgrade the video to high resolution. You’ll then be rewarded with the full experience of watching a Formula 1 car do some very fast and strange things, such as roaring around off road and doing donuts on a silent Texas street. Watch this, it’s a must if you like […]
Motorpoint is offering some fantastic deals on vehicles that are appropriate for the terrible winter we are likely to be facing this year. Here are the details below: Being stuck in adverse weather is ‘snow joke’, but the trusty 4×4 Chevrolet Captiva, with its seven seats, should help to keep your whole family mobile even […]
