MINI Traveller set to return
MINI are planning on building a modern four-door MINI Traveller, essentially a MINI Countryman without the SUV aspirations. You’d forgotten about the MINI Traveller, hadn’t you? Or maybe, as we foolishly did, you assumed that as the Countryman and Traveller were the same thing MINI would leave the Traveller moniker in the history books. No chance. […]
German Grand Prix (2011) RESULT
Back at the Nurburgring for 2011, the German Grand Prix sees Vettel off the front row of the grid. Is that enough to keep the young German off the podium? We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. The Germans and the British are very alike. One has the sense of humour turned up to […]

Audi A6 Hybrid will arrive in mid 2012
The Audi A6 Hybrid won’t hit the UK and Europe until mid 2012, and the US in 2014 – if at all. Which seems the wrong way round. Audi released all the bumph on the 2011 A6 at the end of 2010, and we’d expected that they would deliver up the Audi A6 Hybrid by the end of this […]

Ken Block Goodwood Hooning 2011 +video
We have video of Ken Block at the 20122 Goodwood Festival of Speed, both hooning on track and blatting round the forest rally stage. We thought we’d covered all that the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2011 had to offer. But we were wrong. We’d forgotten Ken Block. We’d given you Claire charging up the hillclimb […]
Infiniti JX (7-seat crossover) tease – now it’s the C-Pillar. Whoopee!
Infiniti had threatened promised to deliver a new tease of the Infiniti JX Crossover every week until it’s revealed at Pebble Beach. And they are.
