  • Cobra-Ferrari Wars, on DVD: a Must See 1 Feb 2005 (News)
    I just spent an enjoyable hour and a half watching this, and it's better than most car movies. Using colour archive footage and interviwes it tells the story of how, after Angina forced him to give up winning races, handsome Texas chicken farmer Carrol Shelby took on the might of Enzo Ferrari, in a 20 year old English sportscar with a Canadian Ford pick-up engine under the bonnet.
  • New Audi Cabrio Sold Out for 2002 21 Dec 2001 (News)
    Even though the new A4 Cabriolet is not due in the UK until next Spring, Audi has announced that the entire UK allocation for 2002 is already sold out. Not surprising because the car looks gorgeous. The original A4 missed out on losing its roof as the Audi 80 coupe-based cabrio fulfilled the role. However, the new cabrio is based on the classy new A4 and will come with a choice of 2.4 litre 170bhp or 3.0 litre 220 bhp 30 valve V6 engines.

  • EC Control Freaks Trying to Impose ISA on Europe 30 Oct 2013 (News)
    More research into the benefits would help to reassure the public that this will improve road safety. ”Unfortunately, over a third of respondents see this as a way of controlling drivers, I believe if drivers are trained properly and have access to on-going learning, the government would not need to enforce ISAs.” Honest John feels that this is yet another example of big European component manufacturers lobbying the EC for new laws that force vehicle owners to fit expensive new components in order to increase their profits. The EC has now legislated that all new cars must be fitted with ESC. Yet we already witnessed a scandalous situation where ATE Teves Mk 60 ESC modules on millions of cars failed due to poor quality brake pressure sensors inside the modules, and owners of 3 - 5 year old cars were forced to pay up to £2,000 to have the units replaced.
  • Friday concept: Aston Martin Bulldog 26 Apr 2013 (News)
    Aston Martin was in a parlous financial state in the late 1970s, when its Chairman, Alan Curtis, came up with the idea of introducing a car to outshine its then range-topper, the Oscar-India V8 Vantage . This was a shire-horse of a car – big and brutish and packing a 437bhp punch.
