  • Listen up you Americans….

    •   22 November 2010

    We Europeans like our cars, we make cars that handle corners and stuff, and like you can’t be taking our cars over there. However, there is one car that’s being made in Mexico and has had some design changes to better suit the North American driver. Fiat have unveiled the 500 for the North American market, Prices start […]

  • Citroen C3 1.4HDI VTR+

    •   18 October 2010

    Whenever I think of a French car the first thing into my mind is comfort, most French cars are comfortable cruisers or, as in this country, comfortable in traffic jams. The C3 fits this comfort segment very well, the suspension is soft and the seats are big, the cabin light and roomy. The cabin can […]

    •   12 October 2010

    Eighteen months ago the Greens declared war on the car and its first casualty was the Family. You see, if you had more than two nippers and a dog or vise versa and couldn’t afford two cars, then a people carrier or MPV was the man for you. It made so much sense that manufacturers […]

  • Drift time in Portlaoise

    •   04 October 2010

    Sunday I was treated to sight in Portlaoise that’s a must for every petrol head, Drifting. The smell of burning tyres and petrol fumes excites me and watching cars go sideways in a controlled environment is even more exciting.
