Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition launched
It’s just 15C, and looking out of the window there are puddles forming as the grey skies deposit endless drops of rain on to the lush greenery. But, hey! It must be Summer, because Mercedes has churned out a limited edition model of their compact SLK folding tin-top – the Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition. The […]
Ferrari Hybrid confirmed
Hybrid cars of every shade are now flavour of the day. And, as we’ve said before, this has more to do with the targets imposed by Governments in the West than by any real need to see small, niche car makers contributing to CO2 reductions. After all, the average Ferrari probably does less than 2,000 […]
Volvo S40 DRIVe – Green Car of the Year
You have to admire Volvo. The abused and unloved adopted child of Ford, they are still managing to produce cars the buying public wants (and working on ground-breaking projects – like the Volvo plug-in hybrid for 2012), and receiving accolades and plaudits in to the bargain. The latest trinket to come Volvo’s way is ‘Green […]

McLaren F1 Fire – the update
Last week we reported, with a tear in our eye, the sad demise of a McLaren F1 in a fire in Santa Rosa, California. The car was driven by its owner – Irv Kessler – for the first time in six months when passing motorists started to notice smoke coming from the F1. By the […]
Tesla Roadster Brabus – grab a drive
For those of you out and about in London this week, and with a bit of spare time on your hands (or a handy excuse – the meeting over-ran – honest!) it would probably be fun to drop in to Canary Wharf to have a nose round the MotorExpo Show. And if you don’t mind […]
MotorExpo London 2009 – a quick look
We haven’t had a Motor Show worth getting too excited about in the UK for a while. What we have had has been a pale imitation of the great shows of the past, and maybe the end is near for the Motor Show as we think of it. After all, the time was when a […]
Rolls Royce Ghost – Undisguised
> To be entirely accurate, the Ghost is disguised, but so little it wasn’t worth the effort. Yes, there are no ‘RR’ logos on the wheels; the Spirit of Ecstasy’ is kept out of sight and there are no badges. But come on, why bother? This spy shot of the new Rolls Royce Ghost was […]
