Review: RAC 225 S Super HD Dash Cam (productReview)
It all goes a little sideways, however, when it comes to the mount. Unlike some rival offerings, the 225’s GPS module isn’t integrated into the dash cam. It’s instead part of the mount, which makes it bulkier and clutters the windscreen. A cable also has to pass from the GPS module into the dash cam, which limits adjustability because the unit can only rotate so far before the cable pulls out. -

Top 10: Car seats for four-year olds (Article)
Extra side-impact protection and soft padded wings boost comfort and safety that bit further. It’s a pricey seat, though, at not far shy of £200, and it is hefty at 7.4kg. Cybex Sirona S i-Size The Sirona S is one of several 360 swivelling car seats, designed to make getting your little one in an out of the seat much easier. Tipping the scales at 15kg it's not the kind of seat you want to be moving between cars regularly, but t he quality of the Cybex Sirona S shines through with the impeccable build quality and a lovely finish to the material. -

Prime among these is the option of Noodoe Navigation rider-centric sat-nav system. -
Review: LS2 Vector helmet (productReview)
The SHARP safety rating is achieved through testing how the helmet performed in each of the five impact locations during the 8.5 m/s linear impact tests against the flat anvil. While the front and back protection were rated well, side protection was poor at high speeds . -
Review: Norco Fluid 2 HT (2019) (productReview)
width=271&height=181&mode=max" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/75154c5225ff45099ce25f1fec810ff2" /> When you need to stop, the Fluid 2’s hydraulic brakes do an excellent job of scrubbing off speed, while the SR Suntour suspension fork can be locked easily when you hit the tarmac. While hardtails are firmer than full-suspension bikes, the Fluid 2’s chunky tyres offer a fairly smooth ride even on bumpier trails. -

Still advised to get the structure checked by www.autolign.co.uk The new Category S means the vehicle has suffered structural damage. This could include a bent or twisted chassis, or a crumple zone that has collapsed in a crash. Category S damage is more than just cosmetic, therefore, and the vehicle will need to be professionally repaired. -
Christmas 2021: Best Gifts For Petrolheads (Article)
Well they can (sort of) with this Mini Cooper S driving experience. They will get to put a 1968 Mini Cooper S through its paces with a three-mile drive for one with an instructor on hand, hopefully telling them to 'get a bleedin' move on'. It's available at 15 locations across the UK but you do have to pay extra for weekends. -
Top 10: Learner legal commuter bikes and scooters (Article)
On the plus side, it works perfectly well out of town, so if your commute has any A or B-roads it’s a better bet than a twist-and-go scooter. Yamaha Majesty S - £3299 If you’re planning on all-weather commuting on your scooter, or if you’re going to travel further than a few miles, a plusher, bigger and pricier machine like the Majesty S is a good idea. -
Review: James Bond's DB5 book (productReview)
One replica is residing in a restaurant in Vancouver of all places while a 23-year-old Anthony Bamford, who went on to be chairman of JCB, bought two for £1500 in 1969, complete with gadgets. Post Thunderball, the book then charts the return of the DB5 in 1995's Goldeneye, this time with Pierce Brosnan behind the wheel, no doubt seductively grunting out some lines of dialogue. Before bringing things up to date with its appearances in Casino Royale, Skyfall, SPECTRE and No Time To Die. -
Review: TomTom Go 5200 sat nav (productReview)
It’s useful being able to interact with it using the voice commands as well, which permits hands-free access to options such as altering the view, muting the sound or setting a new destination. The only prominent criticism is that the Go 5200’s display isn’t of a particularly high resolution. This isn’t a huge issue but less expensive sat navs often feature sharper and larger – albeit dimmer – screens. Consequently, the TomTom’s display feels a little lacklustre in what is a nigh-on £300 unit. -
Review: Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres (productReview)
We tested the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on a Porsche Boxster S and noticed a significant improvement over the set of mid-range tyres that were previously fitted. If you have a high performance car, it’s worth investing in a set of premium tyres like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s to allow you to fully appreciate your car’s abilities. -
Review: Kawasaki W800 (productReview)
Let’s start with the biggest updates, namely the chassis and smaller 18-inch front wheel. The double-cradle frame is far from radical in its design and geometry, which suits the W800’s purpose and rider demographic. This endows it with a decently low seat height that makes getting your feet on the ground is easy, which matters when the bike tips the scales at 221kg. For those with an A2 licence, the W800 is an unthreatening bike that works with you to instil confidence. -

>> Read the full review Cybex Sirona S i-Size With a price tag that's less than the Nuna REBL and Maxi-Cosi AxissFix, the Sirona S is a good investment and one that's easy to recommend. The independent Isofix arms make it easier to fit than many too, while we like the softness of the material and the double seatbelt covers. -

Review: Vespa GTS 300
(productReview)
This will also be useful for storing your helmet as the underseat cubby is tight even for an open-face lid. One- or two-up, the GTS 300’s engine never has to struggle. This latest EU4 emissions-compliant motor pulls strongly as soon as you twist the throttle and takes the scooter up to 30, 40, 50 and 60mph limits briskly. Head on to 70mph and the 300 continues to work unchallenged and we saw an indicated 80mph on the analogue speedometer. -
