  A Grand Monday: Alfa Romeo 916 Spider 26 Dec 2016 (News)
  In the past couple of years, it has seen a brace of pretty spectacular failures - but these were largely down to tyres, brakes and suspension parts, all of which have been renewed, incuding over £500 of work last May to sort out the front brakes, exhaust and rear bushes. We've spoken to the owner of this car and he seems a very straightforward and pleasant chap, and is a thoroughly committed enthusiast with a collection of Italian cars.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day 31 28 Jun 2013 (News)
  Just as we thought we had seen every kind of extreme weather condition, we drove up a foggy mountain and found it was snowing at the summit. Ludovic Bois in his Volvo Amazon, car 82, suffered a spot of altitude sickness and refused to run any further at the top of one pass, and had to be pushed out of a passage-control where it then ran down the mountain. Bill and Jock Burridge from New Zealand in their 1925 Buick had just about the worst problem of the day when a front hub broke on the last closed-road test-section… the hub was stripped down and a local workshop found to weld it up, and the car was soon running again.

  Autoblog readers condemn dangerous HID headlights 24 Feb 2011 (News)
  Honest John added, 'I have noticed three problems with Xenoin lights. If they dip left, then they shine directly into the door mirrors of cars being overtaken, blinding the driver of the overtaken car unless he looks away. OEM Xenons have to automatically compensate for the pitch of the car against the road, but they actually do this very slowly, so on an undulating road they can be shining at the road directly in front of the car, at the sky, or into the eyes of an oncoming driver.

  Best Movie Car Action Ever 1 Jun 2003 (News)
  Was Lelouch really arrested when it was first shown? Was it Lelouch or a hired Formula One driver who drove the car? And was it really a Ferrari 275 GTB? What we do know is that there are no special effects or blocking off the streets. Lelouch simply mounted the camera on the front of the car and took us on an astonishing, death-defying drive through the streets of a beautifully filmed 70s Paris with a brutal soundtrack courtesy of the engine, exhaust and tyres.

  Motors Live TV Race Day, Castle Combe, 7th May 27 Apr 2012 (News)
  Charles Hyde-Andrews-Bird from Ditcheat and Reading's Russell Akers will continue their class C battle in Fiesta and Astra respectively. The Prebble name was also at the front of the Vadabar Sports and GT race last time, with Adam's brother Gary winning outright, a feat rarely achieved by a saloon car. The wet weather was certainly a help to the four wheel drive Mitsubishi Evo, but Gary's skill in the tricky conditions should not be underestimated.

  Nostalgic cars in the classifieds 1 Jun 2011 (News)
  What was your first car? Chances are it wasn’t very good, but that you loved it all the same. Same goes for the first car you bought simply because you liked it, rather than because it was practical. Imagine if you could go back and find your first car, or the car you loved the most?
