In more mad tinkering by the disingenuous Harriet Harman, it has been revealed that her new legislation on equality in the workplace will be extended to the broadcast media. Which could mean that Top Gear will have to include women in its presenter line-up. You really couldn’t make this up, but New Labour are intent […]
Honda Insight tops UK Hybrid sales
It’s no secret that Honda want to beat Toyota in the Hybrid car sales stakes. The Honda Insight was launched at a particularly keen price point with one aim in mind – to beat the Toyota Prius. And it appears to have worked. In the UK the Honda Insight has outsold the Toyota Prius by […]

Bugatti Veyron 4-door saloon – Bugatti Veyron Royale?
The Bugatti Veyron is a quite exceptional car. It has broken boundaries and records in car manufacture and performance. It’s the ‘Concorde’ moment of car construction (probably even more so with the move towards eco-cars).
