Ugh. Drove one once. Double ugh. This one - triple ugh

It's like the VW Golf but 60 years ago! First one - bold, classic. Second - not quite so bold, not quite so classic, slightly more bland.

Confused by umbrellas? Does that actually make him The Stig?

My local dealer had an A1 quattro on display for a while. It looks fantastic in the metal. Would love a go

The Toyota Nudge Nudge Wink Wink Know What I Mean Say No More shall not be spoken of again

The Monaco Grand Prix is ACE. Went in 1999. In fact I wrote an account of my trip. Will put it on Kinja soon

The Freelander, as its known over here, is an incredibly capable 4x4. Much more than the Evoque. It will be phased out though in favour of a 'baby' Discovery

Ferrari 458. One reason: FIRE

Shitloads. But Renault have backed electric cars in favour of hybrids and are in a whole heap of trouble because they sell by the hundreds rather than thousands. In Europe the future is hybrid, not electric - until battery life is massively improved. Hybrids are supported by the tax system so people buy them.

The 918 did the Nurburgring in 7.14 on road tyres. We don't know what tyres the McLaren was on. Chris Harris has been known to be wrong (many times)

The McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 wars have started! Brilliant!

Haha. That's quite funny. Europe (the bureaucratic state) is partly to blame for the financial woes and the car industry being in the shitter (which it is). Luxury makers are doing OK because of China. I hate soccer! America is great - most petrolheads love US muscle cars. Renault are in the shit because they've

No argument from me. Chrysler just fails to ignite any spark (sorry, poor joke). Jeep have been on sale here for years but suffer against Japanese and German rivals - and Land Rover. Plus, aftermarket parts are hard to find and expensive when you do find them so used prices drop off a cliff. Renault sell a bunch of

I know this is an American site but this mornings stories are VERY American. Tesla is a little known or cared about brand in Europe. Chrysler and Jeep aren't very interesting to Europeans. OK, you've an Aussie story but that's partly due to US parent company control. Toyota Corollas sell in their millions but so

Actually it's generally 4p per litre more expensive than petrol. It's tax legislation that makes people buy diesel

Terrible news, but inevitable given the limited market, outdated product and humungous rule book from Ford US. I was being updated by an Aussie friend on Twitter last night. It impacts not only on workers but the OEM suppliers which number in the tens of thousands

Never been pulled over. Not once in 25 years of driving. In the UK they just use cameras and computers to get you
