From my side of the pond, the MG ZS. A badge engineered Rover that was itself essentially a Honda Civic/Domani, MG’s engineers used an Integra Type-R suspension set up to make one of the best handling front drivers of its time. Coupled with a choice of K-Series 4 cylinders (as used in the Lotus Elise) or a 2.5 KV6,

Finally, my favourite ever GpB car. These things are just immense. I got up close and personal with this, the very last 6R4 chassis to be built, at a local hill climb back in September. What a car.

I’m really quite upset by this news. I volunteer at my son’s primary school, running a mechanics club for 10 and 11 year olds. We have been involved in a lot of the STEM projects that the Bloodhound team have been using to outreach to UK schools and the kids have loved it. We even have our school name printed on the

The new VW T-Cross gets the genuine German article. It even has a slightly retro looking tint to it..... 

It’s a shame you guys never had the option of the Type-R. Granted, we in the UK never did officially but my grey import DC5 was the nuts.....

Absolutely amazing. One of my apprentices was very lucky enough to attend the open day at Woking today and got to see the Speedtail in the flesh. I believe he is still dribbling as I type......

If I read correctly, the car isn’t actually painted. Your chosen colour is woven into the carbon fibre. 

My wife’s Polo GTI has quite a nice little coloured set up.

I’m assuming he means the current-gen Insignia based FWD Commodore.

Nice write up on a truly hateful car. I’d leave out the Focus comparisons though as it’s actually no more than a jacked up Fiesta for for old people. At least the current version is slightly better looking than the pre-facelift which was our first introduction to it in the UK.....

Nice cars the 75 and their MG badged ZT brothers. Very much within the banger range of prices (below £1000) here in the UK now. Interestingly for the US, the RWD versions ran the 260bhp Mustang V8.....

The wife and I have tickets for next Wednesdays filming. I can't see that going ahead now. Pretty gutted as I'd waited a life time for this.............

Looks like a Honda Accord estate with a roof box to me.

The Cygnet is based on the smaller IQ, not the Aygo.

Pinzgauer 6x6 military airfield ambulance.

That is an awesome looking piece of kit. Reminds me of the old Transit County 4x4.

However, Renault already had their own van platform which was actually pretty good, so the nasty old Dodge was about to be put out of its misery; but it had one last chance - Reynolds-Boughton make a 4x4 version. It's worse than a Unimog in every way, but Unimogs weren't built in the UK, so when the British armed

It's OK at driving in a straight line, but steering and stopping leave something to be desired. And it's uglier than a smacked arse."

I'm pretty sure that in the majority of the world, ie outside of NA (this is an international website remember) the answer is Transit.
