  Radicals to Battle at Castle Combe on 1st October 20 Sep 2011 (News)
  The local scrap metal dealer has been battling all season with his arch rival Simon Tilling from Vernham Dean, the pair swopping the lead of both Class A and the overall title. Both drive Radical sports racing cars, but the two machines are quite different. Shanley drives the Prosport version once in the hands of Louis Davidson, who took it to four class and two outright championship titles from 2003 to 2006.

  Astonishing variety of cars lined up for Cholmondeley Pagaent of Power 25 May 2011 (News)
  The car will join a host of other E-Types for a display at the Pageant to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this iconic Jaguar. Of particular interest to motor racing enthusiasts will be the group of four-wheel drive F1 cars. The four examples on display are rare for a reason: the Lotus 63, for example, was an experimental Formula One car designed by Colin Chapman for the 1969 season, but after just a single test run, drivers Graham Hill and Jochen Rindt flatly refused to drive the car due to safety concerns.

  Castle Combe Racing on Live TV 2nd May 21 Apr 2011 (News)
  The circuit's Saloon Car Championship adds a couple of (BMW) Minis to the mix for the first time headed by reigning Sports and GT champion, Mark Funnell from Trowbridge. With his penchant for driving his race car to meetings, Mark is following in the footsteps of double Class C champion, Julian Howell from Radstock, whose BMC Mini was also road registered. With a theoretical limit on the effective power two front wheels can deliver, the eyes are on the progress of the new rear wheel drive 3 litre BMW 130i of Ditcheat's Kevin Bird.

  Chelsea Legends, 5th September, to feature 'Le Mans' 24 Aug 2010 (News)
  They put a spare engine in the 512S I’d had in the race and I drove that car and, on occasions, some of the Porsche 917s, too. Steve’s passion for speed was obvious: he wanted to drive flat-out all the time and the filming was almost a secondary reason for being there. Which is probably why we all got on so well and we were completely comfortable having him driving with us at 200 miles an hour.

  A Grand Monday: Mercedes-Benz E220 W124 29 May 2017 (News)
  It gives a top speed of 130mph and 0-60mph in 10.5 seconds, which is perfectly adequate, yet it somehow feels slower. The stately driving position, progressive 'organ pedal' accelerator and four-speed auto 'box somehow encouraging you to drive it in a completely unhurried manner. It's quite relaxing as a result, but it won't set the world on fire.

  Happy Birthday: M25 2 Nov 2016 (News)
  My record, in 2003, was an eleven hour sojourn, joining the celebrated circle at the M23 junction just north of Gatwick. My endurance drive from there to the bottom of the M11 achieved an average of 5.2 miles per hour. I travel the same route regularly even now, and I’m lucky to crack the 120-mile journey to my home in Cambridgeshire from West Sussex in anything less than five hours.

  Drivers still ignore seatbelt warnings - 50 years on 31 Jan 2015 (News)
  They think if they are driving locally and at a low speed they will be OK. Statistics show that many accidents not only take place at low speeds but also within a few miles of home – so people are mistaken if they think that makes them safer.'

  Second Preview Brightwells Classic Car Auction, Leominster, Wednesday 26th November 18 Nov 2014 (News)
  . Now we’re covering some of the more unusual and hopefully cheaper lots. 1966 Austin A35 van, estimated £1,700 - £2,000. James Hunt used to drive one of these when he lived in Wimbledon, and I did too, as a delivery driver for Midland Counties Ice Cream, in Scarborough in 1967. ‘Mine’ was the factory hot rod version with the 1,098cc engine and would pull 20, 40, 60 and 80 through the nicely spaced gears.

  MoT Files: Winter 4x4s 20 Sep 2012 (News)
  Suzuki Jimny  - 81.7% pass rate Why spend a fortune? If all you need is an all-wheel drive system for tough conditions, the tiny little Jimny is ideal. 2007 models have an average pass rate of 81.7%, but unfortunately suspension problems are more common on Jimnys than on other cars from 2007, so makes sure everything is in order with the four-wheel drive system.
