A new Ferrari is always an event. For most of us, owning a Ferrari is beyond dreams. But what’s life without aspirations, and even if we can’t afford it we can lust after it. And Ferrari knows that.

The Lamborghini LP560 has been with us for a few months now, so bang on cue Lamborghini has announced the convertible version – The Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder (what a mouthful – I think we’ll just stick with ‘LP560’).

VW’s Banned TV Commercial
Apparently, this ad got banned from TV in the UK. I suppose you can see why, but if it doesn’t make you at least smile, if not laugh out loud, then you must have had a sense of humour by-pass! It always seems strange what gets a ban and what doesn’t. We actually think this […]
