Aston Martin One-77 UK Debut Salon Privé
Aston Martin brought us the first sight of the Aston Martin One-77 at Geneva in February, but that wasn’t the finished car and only lasted a day on the stand before it was replaced by the Lagonda Concept. Aston were eager to get the car back to the UK to finish preparing it fully for […]
Audi Stop-Start Introduced
Of all the major car makers, Audi has probably coped with the changing car landscape better than the rest. From posting record car sales for 2008, despite the gloom and doom that has permeated the whole car industry, to launching more new models than you can count, the push is onward and upward. And the […]
Opel / Vauxhall Astra revealed
Hot on the heels of the release of the teaser images of the Vauxhall Astra comes the full reveal of the all new Vauxhall Astra. Which rather begs the question: Why bother with the daft teaser picture? Of course, it may be a reaction by Opel/Vauxhall to some of the pictures leaking out, but it […]

Top Gear in U.A.E. – with Supercars!
We always look forward to a new series of Top Gear, and expect bigger and better things from Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May as every series unfolds. But news recently that Top Gear are on a budget had visions of antics being curtailed and locations being limited to the Home Counties, never mind the prospect […]
New Vauxhall Astra (2010) – the Tease
You’d think Vauxhall would have better things to do with the current GM mess than torment buyers with teaser shots of the new Vauxhall Astra. But, just like every other car maker lately, they seem to think that this is the way to lead-in to a launch. This time we’ve got a variation on a […]
