  Why these classic cars are redefining what's cool 27 Jul 2015 (News)
  But early 911s aren’t within reach of most of us, and there’s just as much fun to be had in running something more ordinary, more mundane, more mainstream, but in many ways just as exotic due to its sheer rarity value. If it turns heads and gets people talking, and more to the point, you enjoy owning it, it’s a classic.

  A Grand Monday: Isuzu Piazza Turbo 4 Aug 2014 (News)
  We’re told the only noticeable bits are on the tailgate and that there’s a small bit by the fuel flap; the vendor thinks this car has been rust-proofed since new. So why sell? ‘I have owned the car since December 2011. It was bought as a running vehicle and I've done less than 400 miles in it since buying it. I travelled to London and back to get it, and drove it occasionally for a few months trouble free.’ If we were buying it, we’d want to get to the bottom of why it’s had such little use – cars that cover low mileages can come with their own challenges.

Travellers regularly die on this road when they run out of fuel or break down. It's a difficult drive from the start and the comics end up skidding off the road into the ditch on their very first day. Accommodation is sparse and they have to blag a supper of reindeer stew and a bed in a yurt with some local herders on their first night, enduring temperatures of minus 51 degrees centigrade.
