Jaguar has unveiled its XJ model line-up for 2013 and it features a new supercharged six cylinder 3litre engine which replaces the 5litre V8. The new motor will also feature in the forthcoming F-Type sports car. There’s also a new […]
I’m thinking overpriced pastries, emergency caviar and small dogs with ribbons on their heads as the payload. I doubt any self-respecting courier, carpenter or contractor will buy one. I doubt even Mini’s own service teams will use them. But still […]
A friend called me from the UK the other day to say that the place where I live now was featured on the telly. Brilliant, I said, I bet they are talking about the amazing local food and the astonishing […]
I have never driven a dream car. No one has ever paid for me to go on an experience day at Silverstone (or wherever they hold them), I have never test driven a Ferrari and I have never even been […]
When Mr. John wrote that song in 1972 he must have known it would take a helluvalong time for the Rocketman to arrive. It wasn’t until 39 years later, in 2011, that Mini presented the concept model. That was at […]

We tend to think that going green is something which the Government encourages us to do, but rumours abound that the Treasury has plans to introduce a green car tax. The idea has come about because the nation’s coffers currently […]
I don’t know who is more surprised by this announcement – me or Jaguar. But the best car to own is the Jaguar which claims the top spot in the J.D. Power/What Car? 2012 UK Vehicle Ownership Satisfaction Study. The […]

Did I just win the 2012 competition for blog title of the year because I made it into a palindrome? Or was it anagram? Some of you may know that Opel – which is basically mainland-European for Vauxhall – is […]
With the build quality of new cars being vastly improved in recent years, what proportion of them would fail their first MoT? I think it’s a really good question and consumer website honestjohn.co.uk has looked at 24.5 million MoT records […]
If I told you that you could get hold of a Bugatti Veyron for absolutely nothing would you be at all interested? You are darn tooting you would. Let’s face it, these days none of us can afford to knock […]
