Mixing chases and stunts with spectacular desert scenery and soul music, Vanishing Point is a classic road movie that will have you dreaming of thundering V8s and driving for the fun of it.

  Top 10: User-friendly A2 bikes (Article)
  Nonetheless it’s more than happy keeping up with motorway traffic and it offers plenty of practicality thanks to generous storage. It’s great around town too, making light work of stop start driving and filtering thanks to the automatic transmission and low centre of gravity.

  Top 15: Must-have kit for the classic car owner (Article)
  It’s not the cheapest but it is one of the most versatile, its V-profile design ensuring compatibility with Spline, Star, AF, Metric and Whitworth fixings.  The set includes 17 half-inch drive sockets and 19 30mm-long bits, plus a 72-teeth oval ratchet, extension bars, universal joint and so on. It might seem a hefty investment at around £123 (from www.lasertools.co.uk ) but it’s well worth it.

  Review: How To Be A Motoring Journalist by Roy Lanchester (productReview)
  It's also less than £8 - so you won't be out of pocket too much if you do hate it. “If you think that motoring journalism is simply about driving around in other people’s cars and then going back to the hotel for a wine and a big dinner and maybe a dump and then some more wine and perhaps a whiskey or two, I’m afraid you are not completely correct.”

  Review: EE in-car WiFi (productReview)
  You can connect up to 10 devices at once, which even if you have a seven-seater should cover all eventualities, although it’s worth bearing in mind that the more devices you have connected, the slower the connection will become. Just like your mobile phone, the signal will vary as you drive along, so don’t expect flawless Netflix streaming in HD as you pass through a Welsh valley – although EE claims to have the best 4G coverage in the UK. As well as offering WiFi, the plug-in device (called Buzzard 2) has a USB port on the back so you can charge a device at the same time, although this may not be enough depending on how many 12v sockets you have and devices on the go at the same time.

  Review: Lanka Blue dash cam (productReview)
  It comes with a very long 12V cable that will stretch around the biggest of cabins, although it is a slight irritation that the cable plugs in on the right side of the camera so it is less optimal for a right-hand drive car. The 360-degree adjustment and secure tightening nut makes it easy to get the camera set up in the best position and it is small enough to tuck out of the driver’s line of sight.

  Review: Dyson V10 Total Clean vacuum cleaner (productReview)
  We achieved around 20 minutes of cleaning our carpeted lounge and part of our carpeted stairs in suction mode 2 with the direct drive cleaner head. I t would make sense for the battery to be replaceable so we could just swap one out when it ran out of charge to extend our tidying session (so we could finish our stairs).

  Cheap van insurance for couriers and delivery drivers explained (Article)
  .      Nissan NV200 - Insurance group 5E The NV200 is unique to Nissan in that it doesn’t share its underpinnings with other manufacturers, as is the case with the NV400 and Primastar.

• Where can you get quick classic car insurance quotes? (Article)
  You may think you have it all stored in your head but the information required can vary between insurers, so it is worth having the relevant paperwork in front of you just in case; V5C, driving licence, MoT certificate - all might come in handy and save your rooting in the cupboard whilst on the phone. Another thing you can do to save a bit of time is to get the insurers to call you rather than the other way round.

  Review: Wahoo Kickr Core Zwift One (productReview)
  Lift it out of the box and you'll soon appreciate the 18kg weight, 5.4kg coming from the flywheel. The Wahoo Kickr Core Zwift One is based around a direct-drive design, which means a belt drive is used to transfer power from the cassette to the flywheel, which is controlled by an electromagnetic resistance unit. This means that it can simulate a gradient up to 16% and generate 1800 watts of resistance - while that's less than pricier options, unless your name is Tadej Pogačar, it should be more than up to the job.
