Citroen’s car for the GQ Man

By Alex Goy
 

So there we were, a group of judgmental car hacks looking at Dylan Jones (GQ Editor, in case you didn’t know) talking about his magazine’s new car, designed by Citroen’s crack team of trendy designers.
All of uthe assembled scirbes were betting that they’d reveal a DS3 (read the test here) with some Saville […]

2010 Goodwood Diary

cj hubbard writes:

Goodwood motoring season is nearly upon us. The very first motoring event is the opening Breakfast Club meeting of the year; aimed at pre-1973 tax free cars, Richard and I will be there – though I’m not yet going to let slip what we’re taking.
Even if you haven’t got an old car, if […]

The ultimate two-for-one deal

Photos: RM Auctions
Dan Trent writes:"A race car for the road" is a much-used hack’s cliche but in the case of the 631hp Mercedes CLK-GTR it is, for once, bang on the money. After all, the car was built to race in the FIA GT category in 1997,  a class it then dominated for three years […]

Reality is a work in progress

See this Ford Escort:

It popped up amongst our 2009 Ford Fair coverage. I’d just taken some photos of a really rat Fiesta when I came across it. And my immediate response - having been up since 4am, driven the Anglia from Hemel to Silverstone, and taken somewhere in the region of […]

Early start for Ford Fair 2009

cj hubbard writes:
Yes, yes, it’s 5am on a Sunday morning – which has got to be one of the most perfectly disagreeable times of the week.
However, I’m awake (and writing) because I’m off to meet up with the guys (and gals) from MyKa.org, ahead of the 2009 Ford Fair at Silverstone.

Ford Fair is the biggest […]

Bentley Supersports in action at Goodwood

cj hubbard writes:

Just a quick post to show you the video Bentley has released of Derek Bell driving the Continental Supersports at the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Starts with a few words from the man himself, and then it’s the car up the hill – check out a) the disappearing driving gloves, and […]

Image cache: 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed

cj hubbard writes:

 
I went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed over two days this year, and I took a shed load of photographs. So here’s a bunch of them…
Usefully, the Automator function to rename them all seems to have taken it upon itself to reorder everything; I have attempted to correct this where relevant, but […]

2009 Beaulieu Hot Rod and Custom Car Day

cj hubbard writes:

Took my Dad to Beaulieu on Sunday for the 2009 Hot Rod and Custom Car Drive-In day. It was staggeringly brilliant.
500+ cars, 4,000+ visitors – you wouldn’t believe there are this many quality hot rods in the UK. I took pictures of pretty much everything (sorry if I missed you), and you can […]

French revolution at the Ace Cafe

Dan Trent writes:If you’re into your cars and live in or around London you’ve got to get yourself down to the Ace Cafe. Pretty much every night holds a themed meet of one sort or another and last night it was French cars. It was only a day after the French Car Show but […]

French Car Show 2009 – pics and video!

Dan Trent writes:
The summer events calendar has certainly got off to a sun-soaked start, this weekend’s French Car Show at Rockingham blessed with great weather, just like the Mini United gathering a few weeks back. Obviously, as the owner of a French car myself  - and with the promise of some track time at Rockingham […]
