We haven’t really bothered covering the row going on between FOTA (the F1 drivers ‘Union’) and the FIA (the governing body of the sport) because it all seemed to us to be a storm in a teacup, with both sides posturing and pouting, but neither likely to push things to the point where the money […]

New Mazda 3 – Strong residuals
We’ve banged on a bit about the New Mazda 3. We think it’s the best car Mazda has made, and it’s very much the equal of sector leading competition like the Ford Focus and the Vauxhall Astra, as we said in our review of the new Mazda 3 back in April. But a big part […]
Ford raises UK prices – Again
It’s only a couple of months since Ford raised prices in the UK, citing the weakness of the pound against the Euro as the cause. I guess that’s what happens when you stop building cars in the UK (Ford only build engines here now). Interestingly, this comes just a week after Sterling hit a 2009 […]
New Vauxhall Astra Roadster preview
The guys over at Auto Express certainly knock out a rendering or two of cars that are to come. They’re not always bang on the money, but they make for interesting viewing (sometimes) and we’ve run one or two of their renderings before.

Gemballa Mirage GT Matt
Yep, it’s yet another in the list of modified Porsche Carrera GTs from Porsche specialist Gemballa. This time it’s another Mirage GT – the Matt Edition. I’ve said it before, but there has to come a point when Gemballa run out of Porsche Carrera GTs to play with. Only 1270 Carrera GTs were ever made, […]
GTbyCitroen does London
I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised when news stories on cars, particularly new cars, seem to come one on top of another. After all, for the majority of stories the car maker is building up an appetite for the new car, so wants to keep feeding stuff out. And so it has been lately with […]
