Cars Cause Global Warming – is the myth about to be debunked?
Our views are well known on the whole climate change and ‘Cars kill the Planet’ ethos that has become received wisdom in the last decade. It isn’t a popular view and, in the eyes of many, is akin to being a holocaust denier. But we see no sense in the arguments that exist which claim […]
BMW X1 Official pictures leak
BMW has been teasing us with detail shots of the new BMW X1 for a while now, but that, plus a blurred shot, is about all we’ve had. Except of course for the picture of the BMW X1 shooting a video in Germany a month or so ago. But I think we can expect the […]
