Follow the guys around as they pick up a few little run-arounds….you can tell things have gone a little strange when you find yourself thinking some of those cars are a little dull…and they are Aston Martins!!

You have got to love Jeremy Clarkson, at least he is prepared to put his money where his mouth is, quite literally in this case! In his newspaper column in The Sunday Times, he said that the whole fuss about the British Government losing a huge quantity of bank and personal data (I think it was something like 7 million families’ records!) was a storm in a teacup. Now usually he is one of the first people to lampoon the government, so this was a bit of a novelty in itself, but he then went on to give out his bank details - well you give them out if you write anyone a cheque (no, not a check; Jezza, like me, is a Brit after all!) anyway don’t you? He then went on to tell people how to get his address from the electoral roll and find out what car he drives, because there is no possible way that this data could be used against him… Read the rest of this entry »

Ahhh, why is it we all feel a bit smug when successful people come a bit unstuck? I mean I really shouldn’t find it funny that 3 times World F1 champ Nelson Piquet has lost his license and now has to take a Driver Awareness course!!

You can almost imagine it-

 ’Mr Piquet, why did you cut across the old lady at the roundabout?’

‘I was focussed on the apex, she made a lunge up the inside, I couldn’t see her, it was a racing accident’

Which? car editor Richard Headland said: “Arthur Daley may have gone out of business, but there are still some pretty dodgy motors out there. We think motorists should steer well clear of these 10 cars which are either unsafe, unreliable, or both.”

It’s got to be said the list is a fairly obvious one, with no less than Read the rest of this entry »

I must admit I was never much of a believer until now, but I can only guess that experts have recently decoded more ancient, biblical texts that appear to predict the arrival of cars and given words of advice in the usage of them, how else can you explain this?

 As part of this it says ‘Thou shall not consider a car an object of personal glorification or use it as a place of sin.’ So that will spell the end of Pope-mobile then….
