    I read somewhere the other day that getting everything that annoys you off your chest is a great way to start 2019. So, with that in mind, what better place to start than cars? Obviously, I accept that cars are incredibly personal and impersonal things. To some they’re a mode of transport and to others

     I’ve spoken a lot about racing over the past few weeks, F1 and Formula E are the Premier League of motor racing; what we really need is the National League though. No, that doesn’t mean watching teams like Port Vale next season, just a place where money hasn’t completely taken over, in most cases that

    F1 is suffering a pretty serious identity crisis and has been for a number of years. Viewing numbers are decreasing and action needs to be taken. There are many issues that need addressing, for example the lack of overtaking, the lack of competition outside the top three teams and the obsession with costs. It won’t

    Scrolling through Twitter the other day, I saw a promoted post. It was for a phone, not a Samsung or iPhone, this was for a phone reminiscent of the early noughties technology. No touchscreen, no internet and no camera. Simply the ability to call and text. It’s supposedly there to give us only the most

    We’ve all seen the stupid prices people are paying for classic cars. One hundred thousand pounds for a Mitsubishi Evo? No thanks. It seems that if you want a piece of motoring history or an iconic car from your childhood, you’ll have to pay through the nose to get it. The best way to enjoy

    Horsepower is done, we’ve seen manufacturers battle for the crown of the most powerful car and technically the Devel Sixteen has won (or at least it will if/when it makes it to production.) The thing is though, despite the claims from the manufacturer, there wasn’t all that much coverage. I don’t think we can even

    For petrol heads, seeing their favourite movie cars can be a nightmare. Perhaps it’s a lesser known model you hoped would stay out of the limelight until you’d saved up enough cash to purchase your dream ride at an uninflated rate. It may also be to do with the agony of hearing your beloved have

    When you come to buy a car, what do you look for? Is it speed, practicality or the image it portrays of you? According to Mini, technology is one of the biggest sellers for consumers. Just behind the design, technology is one of the biggest attractions in a new car for a consumer. I believe,

    Other than further developing the powertrain and adding additional safety features, there’s very little else our cars need. But obviously, Mr Engineer at BMW has to justify his wage, so he’ll develop an automatic sun visor or another driving mode. The majority of the options listed for a new car are gimmicks. I don’t want night vision and I don’t want Twitter on my infotainment screen!
