It’s not every often when a car company gets really creative – especially with theirl mail. In this case, Vauxhall have come up with the goods for the new Sports Tourer Insignia. A mailshot landed through my letterbox that had a ‘RESTRICTED’ sign across it and a complex opening system. When in, the full colour […]
Great video about how to avoid buying a stolen or written off car.
M is the most powerful and evocative letter in the BMW alphabet. The character that denotes BMW’s motorsport history and its prowess in developing road-going sports cars now enters a new chapter in its history. In a first for BMW UK, the marque has teamed up with MotorSport Vision (MSV) to offer a package of […]
A survey conducted by Exchange & Mart has shown that fuel economy is becoming a major factor when considering the purchase of a used vehicle. The respondents stated that from their next purchase they are looking for something with better fuel economy and a lower tax bracket – something that for a lot (though not […]
