Who Won The Top Award At Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance?

September 1, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The Horch

A true car fan appreciates the classics – and they don’t come much better than this exquisite 1937 Horch 853 Voll & Ruhrbeck Sport Cabriolet, owned by an American private collector. It was named “Best of Show” at the 59th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance along the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links® on August […]

The Rise In Fuel Duty – Sept 09

August 31, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

I’m afraid that once again I am announcing that there’s another rise in fuel duty (by 2p) as of tomorrow (Sept 1st 09). Interestingly, The Times is reporting that this is the first of a series of measures to raise more than £10 million in taxes. Punitive measures such as removing the car scrappage scheme […]

Breakdowns On The Motorway…

August 30, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 2 Comments

Apparently, in Richard Hammond’s section in The Mirror on Friday he came down on the side of those who run out of fuel on the motorway. He stated that, whilst an average of 43 people per day break down due to just that reason, he’s suprised that it isn’t many more and that the government […]

Roadworks Everywhere…

August 29, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but my local council seems to insist on setting up roadworks that take an age to complete and provide maximal disruption for everyone. I won’t name the road but a major north route has been affected due to certain parts being closed, despite it being the weekend. If the signs […]

Autocar Drives The Alfa Romeo 8C Spider

August 26, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Admit it – after watching the video all the evil thoughts you’d had about Alfa Romeo making poorly crafted rotboxes simply faded out of your head. Quickly. The Alfa Romeo 8C Spider is nothing short of absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately I doubt any of us will ever even get close to one in ‘real life’, but […]

Motorcycle Diary – Week 6

August 25, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 1 Comment

Yamaha YZF-R125

Well, I’m now six weeks into riding my 09 Yamaha YZF-R125.  You have to take the rough with the smooth as they say, which unfortunately means I needed to fork out for a new (rather expensive) vinyl/sticker for the right hand side fairing due to an ‘off’.  No harm done, other than to the pride […]

Rubens Barrichello Wins The European Grand Prix (Valencia)

August 23, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 2 Comments

Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button

It was great watching the 2009 European Grand Prix today. Here are my thoughts on the action: Despite being first and second respectively, the McLaren team could only manage a finish of second and fourth, with Lewis Hamilton narrowly missing out on taking first place.  Hamilton was due in for a pit stop around lap […]

European Grand Prix – Qualifying Is About To Start!

August 22, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 1 Comment

Q1 is about to start on BBC – and I can’t wait.  Who’s going to go through to Q2?  Will Kovaleinen hold it together?  What about Glock?  Sutil?  Alguersuari?  Can Hamilton build on his last victory or was it a one time only?  Of course, you can’t rule out Brawn – especially as rumours are […]

The Noble M600 Is Coming…

August 21, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Noble M600 Exterior

I bet you were thinking “it’s about time that another British marque got around to making a mental supercar“. Luckily, Noble were thinking just such the same thing and have shown off some shots of the upcoming M600 to the world. Power to weight is expected to be around 600bhp per tonne (I’d assume that’s […]
