  Happy Birthday: M25 2 Nov 2016 (News)
  I maintain, to this day, that the constantly changing 40, 50, 60, 40, 60, 50 roundels from gantry to gantry were there to cause more confusion than they solved, and believe me, I’m normally happy to say ‘fair cop’ if I get nobbled for being a bit heavy with the right foot. So why, then, do I feel ever so slightly sentimental about the UK’s biggest car park as it hits this landmark? Could it be because I recall the newsreel when, as a nine-year-old boy, I watched Mrs Thatcher walk to the Junction 13 slip road with her ceremonial scissors to declare the road officially open?

  Mazda Top, Jeep Bottom in Latest Reliability Survey 23 Jan 2007 (News)
  “Off-road may mean rugged, but the data suggests that it may not always stand for reliability if you consider the specialists.” “This is unique data based on real cars, driving real miles, over the past five years. It is the kind of information manufacturers would probably rather you didn’t see.” The reliability of the UK’s top five selling makes does not necessarily reflect their status amongst the car buying populace.

  Mixed Messages, But Some Auction Prices Very High Today 13 Feb 2009 (News)
  Plenty of current shape Passat diesels to choose from today, probably all from the same company fleet. I wonder what they replaced them with? A two and a half year old 16k mile Lexus LS460 made £26,000. A lot of car for the money, but not quite as much at the 96P Mercedes W140 S420 that sold for £1,050. (Current S-Class are dropping £1,000 a month in the book.)

  The star of the show at Barons’ first sale of 2011 on February 8 th was a charming 1933 MG J2 Midget, which came with five decades of history of ownership in the same family.

Used car specialists also increased their retail activity, as is traditional at the start of the year.

  Honda's new Mean Mower can hit 150mph 4 Jul 2018 (News)
  And 1000PS per tonne makes for a pretty fast mower. The work was carried out by Team Dynamics - that's Honda's British Touring Car Championship partner and the team behing the original mean Mower. Rather than just making an ultra fast thing, Team Dynamics says the biggest challenge was making the Mean Mower look and act like a mower.

  Four in ten drivers admit to speeding in 20mph zones 6 Sep 2016 (News)
  A trial of 20mph limits in Warrington, Cheshire found pedestrian and cyclist casualties dropped by 36% while a study of 75 different 20pmh limit locations in Scotland found casualties dropped by 42%.  And if you need convincing why 20mph zones are there for a reason, Tommy Kenny was just 10 years old when he was tragically knocked down and killed on a pedestrian crossing on a 30mph road in London. The little boy was thrown 60ft on impact, leaving him with multiple traumatic injuries so severe that he stood no chance of survival.

  Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2006-) 19 Jun 2016 (News)
  As a result, it’s nicer to drive day to day and slightly faster from 0-62mph taking 8.3 seconds compared to the previous 8.5 seconds. That said, it’s a bit of a shame that it lacks the aggressive manner of the old engine which was part of its charm. The car we drove comes with the optional six-speed DSG automatic gearbox which works well with the TDI engine, although it isn’t always the smoothest transmission, particularly at lower speeds or when trying tricky manoeuvres.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day 20 and 21 18 Jun 2013 (News)
  With the Ford Model A Special hitting difficulty, the results at the top of the leader-board now get something of a shake-up, and Mike Reeves and Michelle Jana Chan inherit third-overall in the Vintageants with their Ford V8 coupe. Trouble also hit car 40, which was regularly in various mechanical trouble through Mongolia, when the engine of the Pontiac let go in the biggest possible way. Driver Willy Van Loon opened the bonnet and saw a large oily hole the size of his fist created by a big internal explosion deep inside the engine.
