Lexus LFA – Last orders!

Rather surprisingly there are only 10 Lexus LFA cars left to purchase. We say surprisingly as the price tag of £398,000 would be enough to put most people off.  There is no real news on how sales of the 50 LFA Nurburgring have gone, but with only 500 LFAs produced from new, selling all of […]

Aston Martin Vanquish Manual

The Aston Martin Vanquish S is a rare enough car in its own right but to find one with a manual box is virtually unheard of. This was a modification that Aston Martin agreed to supply but they required a further £15,000 over the standard gearbox. Normally it is the auto box that gets charged […]

Mazda MX5 GT

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to have a Mazda MX5 with over 200 bhp then we have the answer for you. Unfortunately this is not a car that Mazda have produced themselves so a massed produced version will not be on the cards. Based on the Mazda GT Race Car, […]

Police car chase at 140 mph

The M25 was closed in the Surrey area recently when a car was being chased along it at 140 mph! The police said the car was a BMW coupe (which could mean many of them) and was eventually stopped after a hair raising chase of 75 miles. A stinger device was needed to blow the tyres […]
