It seems as if MINI are ready to launch the MINI Cooper S Diesel at the Paris Motor Show. Expect around 140bhp and 220lb/ft of torque. The idea of a MINI Cooper S Diesel first crossed our radar late in 2009. We managed to grab photos of what seemed to be a hot diesel MINI, […]

Nissan has confirmed they ar going to launch a Murano Convertible – The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet – at LA in November. The world’s first AWD crossover convertible.

Mazda Shinari Concept – RX-9?
Mazda has revealed the Shinari Concept this morning which they say points the way to Mazda’s future designs. We think it’s a precursor for a Mazda RX-9. We’ve only just had the news that the Mazda RX-8 has bitten the dust, victim of the upcoming Euro 5 emissions regulations. One less Mazda until we see […]
Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Review & Road Test Part 2
In part 2 of our review and road test of the Mitsubishi L200 double cab pickup we look to see if its commercial abiulities compromise its appeal. The downside is the same as the upside – it’s a commercial vehicle. The taxman isn’t daft, and if he really thought we’d all pile in to the […]
Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Review & Road Test (2010)
We spend a week playing Bob the Builder with the car come pickup that is the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian. Tax dodging pick-up or sensible compromise?

Belgian Grand Prix (2010) RESULT
Off to Spa for the first Grand Prix after the summer break. Red Bull get pole once again, but McLaren – who need a result – are in second place with Hamilton. Did it rain? Spa is a proper Grand Prix Circuit. It’s not a huge circuit in the way the Nurburgring was, but it’s […]
Stig sacked
The Mirror are reporting that Ben Collins has been sacked as the Stig after revealing his identity in an autobiography. Yes, we should probably have made the headline ‘Some say he’s been sacked…’ or ‘All we know is, he’s looking for a new job’. But it wouldn’t change the fact that the Stig has been sacked. […]
Lamborghini Jota spotted
We have a spy shot of the upcoming Lamborghini Jota, snapped out playing on the German Autobahn. The last news we had on the Lamborghini Jota – Lambo’s replacement for the now quite ancient Murcielago – was a pointless tease for the Jota sent to us in July by Lamborghini with a photo of a Lamborghini bonnet […]
