  Report: Peking to Paris, day 31 28 Jun 2013 (News)
  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.

He wants changes to be made to the MOT so misaligned headlights are spotted and rules that make daytime running lights compulsory on all new European cars to be revoked.

  Buying a new crossover: petrol or diesel? 4 Apr 2016 (News)
  Diesel always offers higher average mpg ratings on paper, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it always provides the lowest overall running costs compared to a petrol equivalent; diesel costs more at the pumps and there’s always a purchase premium, so it often takes unfeasibly high mileages to claw back the diesel premium in mpg savings.

  Many a Montego diesel clocked up an astonishing mileage with a taxi beacon on the roof. This was a car that, at 250,000 miles, was barely run in. And at 500,000, was frequently still going strong. It was usually the bodywork, thrown together with the usual lackadaisical Austin-Rover approach, that finally finished them off. As a result, they're rare now, and they have quite a following.
