2011 - My Highlights

SO, WITH 2012 nearly upon us it's time to wrap up 2011 and explore the years finest automotive moments.

Buying a car: Personality required

THERE ARE CARS out there which are brilliant; they're fast, reliable, comfortable, practical and economical...but I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!

Aston Martin's black sheep

ASTON MARTIN ARE are proving that a little cosmetic surgery is enough to pull the wool over the eyes of those with more money than sense.

I have a theory!

I BELIEVE THERE is only one car maker out there right now that doesn't make a single bad car. By my logic, this makes them the best manufacturer in the world. Just don't laugh when I tell you who it is.

My top ten worst cars

I RECENTLY WROTE on this very blog about my favourite cars. While that was fun I find it's always more fun to write about things you hate, so here it is...my top ten worst cars in the world.

My ten car garage

 

YOU CAN TELL a lot about a car fan by what they put in their dream ten car garage. This is mine.

Getting it wrong can be easy

 

THE PREMISE WAS simple, turn a successful and well proven hacthback into a stylish and sporty mini-coupe. So how can one company get it right and another get it so very wrong?

A new Aston Martin? Great...but what's the point?

A NEW ASTON Martin is something to be celebrated, yes? Normally I'd be the first to bring out the party hats and the champagne but this time, I'm not so sure.

Mini continues ridiculous naming pattern

MINI HAVE RELEASED yet another ridiculously named concept car, where will it end?
