  • Ford’s MyKey technology could lower insurance costs 13 Feb 2012 (News)
    Many young drivers would prefer to avoid the expense of running their own car by driving their parent’s, but it’s often prohibitively expensive.

  • A Grand Monday: Mercedes-Benz E300D 10 Sep 2018 (News)
    It has 270,000 miles on the clock, by which time most other cars would be well and truly dead, but with the 3.0-litre diesel engine so beloved of German taxi drivers under the bonnet, it’s actually hardly run in.  It’s not without its blemishes – the bumpers are scuffed and it has the usual W124 rusty wings (replacement panels are £40 as pattern parts) and the driver’s seat has some wear, but at £995 it’s hardly expensive for one of the truly great Mercs of its era, while the Malachite Green paint is one of the best colours they came in.
  • Huge Hoard of '60s and '70s American Classics Found Tucked Away in Thailand 4 Jun 2016 (News)
    More than 100 non-running 1960s and 1970s American Cruisers have been found stored in custom built open sheds in Thailand, near Bangkok. Mostly GM, some Lincolns, didn't see a single MoPar.

  • Disco 4 Gets Bradford Bling Treatment 22 Jul 2011 (News)
    22" RS-R wheels ensure this is one Discovery that will never venture off road, nor is likely to take well to speed humps and speed cushions on the school run. Instead, it substitutes the usual fare of Ferraris and Aston Martins with a 7 seater showboat as at home on the motorway or the coastl highway in Dubai as outside Harrods or in the Inflite private charter jet carpark.
