If you own a car then you should be used to having the contents of your wallet or purse stolen at every opportunity. Road tax, fuel duty, and insurance costs seem to keep on going up and now there’s another government-led change that’s going to cost you money. It’s no secret that there are plans afoot to switch off the country’s analogue...

Even though I learnt to drive the moment I turned seventeen I’m amazed that this age limit has remained intact. Both statistics and sensationalist headlines suggest that seventeen-year old drivers are far and away the biggest menace facing society, and we all know how keen politicians love to stick the boot into drivers. The knee-jerk reaction is to say we...

Whenever you’re reading about cars on the internet you tend to get a confusing mix of metric and imperial units, and sometimes that can result in some fairy misleading figures and comparisons.

Choosing the destination can be one of the hardest parts of arranging a road trip,...

You may have seen the Best Of The Best stand at Heathrow airport or heard about their amazing supercar competitions in the press. If not, the idea is that you buy a ticket to enter a competition where the first prize is a supercar – tickets are extremely limited, but expensive as a result. Well, now they’re running a sports car competition where the...

Take a look at the following video that shows a Mercedes SLS AMG doing a complete loop in a tunnel. While it’s almost certainly a fake, is there a chance it could be real – is this sort of thing possible in the real world?
