As you can’t have failed to notice, 2011 is the 50th Anniversary of the debut of the iconic Jaguar E-Type, dubbed the most beautiful car in the world by none other than Enzo Ferrari. […]
British Grand Prix (2010) RESULT
With the Red Bulls at the front of the grid, Hamilton in 4th and Button in 14th are the Brits destined to fail and Red Bull to succeed? It was probably the best weekend weather-wise at Silverstone for an F1 Grand Prix in some considerable time. But the sun didn’t shine on McLaren in qualifying […]

KTM X-Bow – want a drive?
The KTM X-Bow is another of those four-wheeled motor bikes – just like the Ariel Atom.

MINI – George Harrison Homage
The original Mini will be forever associated with the Swinging Sixties. Launched in 1959, just as the new decade that changed the world was about to be born, the Mini was probably the first ‘Classless’ car, driven by everyone from Bin Men to Royalty. Apart from the Mini nothing is more redolent of the ’60s […]
