One of the problems that faces the whole debate regarding global warming is that western (or first world) countries have had the opportunity to go through their industrial revolutions – spouting as much CO2 into the atmosphere as they like due to, at the time, complete ignorance of the negative impact. Now, we’re telling other […]
Only a week ago, I helped to push a stranded BMW driver out of the snow. The rear drive was giving him all manner of grief, as the nearside wheel was firmly wedged into the snow and wouldn’t budge. In the end, with a bit of lateral thinking (and quite a lot of brawn) we […]
In a welcome return to the ‘technical’ or explanatory articles, here I take a quick look at suicide doors and the reason why they aren’t used in many cars (yes, they do have some disadvantages. What suicide doors are Suicide – or carriage, rear hinged or reversed doors – are doors that open the reverse […]
Auto Express has some shots of the new Mazda RX-7. They’re only spy pics as the official model hasn’t been announced yet, but if you’re a driver with more ‘experience’ shall we say, you might remember the original RX-7 as a mental powerhouse of a sportscar with a wonderful rotary engine. Whilst it’s likely that […]
I haven’t written very much about the Mercedes SLS, which is surprising as I think it’s a fantastic looking thing. So, to rectify this error, I thought I would share with you all the Autocar review and commentary shown in the video above. Very nice interior, very stiff and hugely powerful. Want one? Oh yes!
Here, Autocar tries out the new Lexus LFA supercar. Yes, I’m very, very jealous. I love the way that this thing revs. What a monster! Mind you, that £300,000+price tag also brings tears to the eyes…

Much of Britain has been gripped by some of the worst weather we’ve apparently seen in fifty years. Public transport has been severely disrupted. Rail networks have halted some services and delayed many others. Bus operators are struggling. People have been stranded or had to sleep in their cars overnight. It’s ‘Frozen Britain’, as the […]
I’d be interesting to know what you all think of the review above. I actually quite like the mini 4×4 looks – it’s a bit more ‘honest’ than the X3 (which according to some has very little off-road ability too) and it isn’t being sold as a ‘go everywhere, do anything’ vehicle. Rather, an upmarket […]
I’m sure you’re all experiencing the weather first hand, so you don’t need me (or probably any other site) blathering on about how bad it is. However, TomTom have some interesting facts: TomTom’s HD Traffic, a live traffic service updated every three minutes, showed 2456 miles of traffic at 08.00 on Jan 6th on major […]
