Under 17s who can’t wait to get behind the wheel of a car can try their hand at skid control, manoeuvring, and braking and avoidance techniques at a driving event organised by the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) on 21 and 22 May in Berwickshire.

The new Astra Sports Tourer is now on sale priced from £16,585 on-the-road, with first cars arriving in Vauxhall showrooms this month after its global debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new engine offers 320Nm torque (up 20Nm) and 136PS (an increase of 6PS), whilst the six speed […]

The standard car already produces 280PS and 400Nm of torque but this concept is destined for a low volume production run and should beat […]
I’ve long been an advocate for the Vauxhall VXR8 and the earlier Monaro. If you want V8 power in a muscle car body for relatively little cash in comparison to the competition, then you could do far, far worse than this car. The latest edition from Vauxhall is this car – the VXR8 GTS. It […]
