Green Towns – At 15mph

March 25, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

small-village.jpg

The Daily Mirror reported on an exclusive story that is due to break a little later this week, namely that government plans for so-called ‘green towns’ will create through-fares for cars that will be running at 15 miles per hour. This will make some of Britain’s roads faster for cyclists than for cars. The 15mph […]

The Nissan GT-R

  Frankly, I’m shocked to discover that no one has yet added any coverage to CarArticles regarding this new Japanese beast, so I couldn’t take it any more.  I just have to say something about this incredible, 473bhp, four-seat 3.8 litre V6 monster.  Granted, I haven’t driven one yet (there are only about 3 in […]

Well, as my last post was discussing the purchase of a used MX-5 (though preferably in good condition), I thought it only fair to talk you through some of the issues I’ll be considering prior to making the all-important purchase (as well as being before the next Formula 1 race). Buying a used car can […]

A Wonderful Roadster

March 17, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

I’m undertaking a new project very soon – the restoration of a Mazda MX-5.  ‘Restoration?’  You might be thinking.  Well, I’m looking at, ideally, a model for around £1,000 with a removable hard top, rather than a soft cover.  No doubt it’ll be an import, or Eunos as they’re also known in the UK.  Almost […]

Lewis Hamilton, the Great British hopeful who missed out on becoming one of F1’s youngest ever champions by an incredible one point last year has managed to clinch pole position for this year’s Grand Prix in Australia. This is the seventh pole of his F1 career and should provide an excellent start for the young […]

Jeremy Clarkson: A Phone Driver?

March 11, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

jeremy-clarkson-ca.jpg

If you’re confused, let me allay that sensation of not quite knowing what I’m talking about.  A couple claim to have taken a photograph of the (in)famous Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame whilst he’s chatting away on his mobile.  Adam Blake and Hayley Byford say that they saw Clarkson the phone as he travelled […]

Driven: Fiat 500

March 8, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

fiat-500-pic.jpg

  After much waiting, I’ve finally been able to take the Fiat 500 out for a spin.  Unfortunately due to working commitments I missed the press launch, so I was extremely excited when I got a call from my local flagship dealer telling me that they had a 500 in for testing.  To put it […]

Squealing Brake Woes…

March 6, 2008 by Mr Butterscotch 5 Comments

brake-dust1.jpg

I’d like to say a hello first of all, as a new writer to Car Articles.  As a way of introduction, I’m a writer based in the North of England with a wide variety of experience with cars – both new and vintage.  The fastest thing I’ve driven is probably a Porsche 911 that had […]
