Yes, the Insignia VXR Sports Tourer in the video is badged Opel, but it’s a GM so really it could equally be a Vauxhall. Anyway, the point is that I think this is a cracking looking car and as it’s a VXR will no doubt pack a very good punch for the money. Kudos to […]

A certain Mr Jeremy Clarkson demonstrates totally unsuitable footwear for car driving, yet still somehow manages to get a beautiful Jaguar XKR round a few corners… sideways! Just how the man does it is anyone’s guess. But, does […]
