Fifth Gear – Citroen C3 Review

December 14, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The Citroen C3 offers a funky, viable alternative to many other superminis out there. The Fifth Gear review presented here by Graham from the office is great and offers something that maybe Top Gear hasn’t for a while – some genuine, real world advice. I’d be surprised if we don’t see more cars with the […]

Why I’ll Never Buy A Smart Car…

December 13, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 2 Comments

The Smart fortwo

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 […]

Lexus LFA – Aural Pleasure

December 11, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The engine of the Lexus LFA

Supercars are all about performance, looks, presence and sound. The Lexus LFA ticks all the boxes, but especially the latter. The special V10 engine ensures that the car performs as well as it looks, with an exhaust system that has been finely tuned to create a soundtrack that ranges from a low down menacing rumble […]

Top Gear’s Eco Car

December 9, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 1 Comment

Really, if you missed Top Gear last week then… you shouldn’t have. This video though offers some insight into what the TG lads cooked up. You can safely say that you won’t have seen anything quite like the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust. Some would still offer that it’s better than some electric vehicles out there though. […]

Ford Wins Two BBC Top Gear Awards

December 8, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Ford Fiesta ECOnetic and Ford Focus RS

Ford has won two BBC Top Gear awards this year for two extraordinary cars. The first, the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, is Ford’s lowest CO2 emitting model, producing only 98g/km, snapping up the “Green Car of the Year” Award. Of course, that’s not the only reason that it took the prize. It’s a nimble, attractive piece […]

Lotus Exige Scura

December 7, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Lotus Exige Scura

If you’re a ‘regular’ here at Car Articles, you’ll know that I am a big fan of everything Lotus. The reason is quite simple – Lotus make absolutely cracking little sports cars with a purity of purpose that few other manufacturers match. The Exige is a prime example of this and the Scura that you […]

Top Gear’s V8 Rocking Chair

December 6, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

This is one of my favourite clips from Top Gear – even though it doesn’t actually feature a car! It does though have a 6.2 litre V8 Corvette engine that powers a rocking chair. Absolute madness, but brilliant. Still, for my money, nothing has eclipsed the Rocket Robin that sadly didn’t get to space but […]

The Lower Drink Drive Limit

December 5, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The Times has a really good article on the lower drink drive limit. What do you make of the proposal? Seems like a fairly sensible idea I guess, though for right-minded individuals, it shouldn’t make too much of a difference at all – due to the fact that we wouldn’t drink and drive anyway. Part […]
