If you’ve never heard of it, here’s the skinny on this exciting new way to get in touch with other petrolheads: Launched in October 2011, monkeyplate.com is a clever website that lets car fans connect in the real world and share online, with the innovative use of customised stickers displayed on members’ rides. An online […]
I’ve been sent a bunch of emails over the last few months about other car sites so I thought I would add a few of them here just in case they are of interest to you too 🙂 Cartype is a website featuring emblems, car company histories, logos, reviews of typographical & graphical applications, design […]
Sales of new cars have fallen at their sharpest rate in almost 18 years, new figures from the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers) show. Not only is this terrible news for our badly hit manufacturing industry but it’s bad for engineering and British industry as a whole. Cars are, in a way, a very good […]
Years ago, things were much simpler than they were now when it came to buying a new car. You’d simply go to the local dealer, select a model from the range in the showroom and then buy. Now though, when it comes to buying new, there is a much wider range to choose from – […]

I’ve made no bones about my passion – and that tends to be fast cars. You may have even gotten a little sick of hearing Lamborghini this or Aston Martin that. You’ll no doubt be shouting at the screen – much as many do with Top Gear – and saying ‘where are the normal car […]
There is an increasing trend for people selling their car on eBay motors, rather than going the traditional route of putting an ad in Auto Trader.
