As you will have seen, we’ve run quite a few stories on the GTbyCitroen over the last few weeks as it does a promo tour round Europe prior to a limited production run. We reported last week on the GTbyCitroen doing a London tour to recreate its Grand Turismo 5 Video game exploits, which we […]
Range Rover Sport & Discovery 4 (LR4) – UK Prices
It’s almost three months since Land Rover unveiled the new Range Rover Sport and Discovery 4 (LR4) at the New York Motor Show. They managed to release prices for the new Range Rover – which was also revealed at the New York Motor Show – early last month, but they’ve only just got round to […]

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni: It’s official
Test drivers for companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini acquire legendary status amongst aficionados. Their input and skills determine, to a great extent, the feel of the car.

Volvo gunning for Boris over London Congestion Charge
To be entirely accurate, Volvo aren’t actually out to get Boris Johnson, just the ridiculous exemptions policy that exists for London Congestion charging. At present, a wide range of Hybrid cars are exempt from congestion charging. Which does seem odd. On what basis? Because they’re flavour of the month, or because Ken – when he […]
New Jaguar XJ – the last new Jaguar XJ tease?
When Jaguar sent us the last teaser video on the new Jaguar XJ, they promised us faithfully that it was the penultimate one. But as that was less than a week ago, and the new XJ isn’t going to be revealed until 9th July, I have a sneaking suspicion there may be more to come! […]
McLaren F1 for sale – the best one in the world?
As we’ve said before, the McLaren F1 has proved to be not only an incredible car, but a very sound investment. From a selling price of around £600k when they were launched in 1995, you can expect to pay somewhere north of £2 million for one now, and a fair bit more for an exceptional […]

Rolls Royce has supplied a Phantom Coupe to the Goodwood Festival of Speed as the official Course Car, but Ford is supplying a vehicle with a much more prosaic […]
Hyundai guarantee petrol / gas prices
Hyundai is making a real name for itself, not just with a very good range of cars, but also with the way it is capitalising on the Scrappage Schemes in the UK and Europe and the Cash for Clunkers Programme in the US. Hyundai has come out top of the Scrappage Scheme sales in the […]
Fiat 500 – kind to animals and the environment!
We’ve moved on a long way from car adverts that centre around cars driving through fire, with a Stadium Rock soundtrack to get the adrenalin and testosterone flowing. On the whole, they are more considered and/or more humorous (although some – particularly in the States – are still dire). A good example of the current […]
