About that ‘keeper’ of a Renaultsport Megane 275 Trophy. It was an exceptional example – one I’d dreamed of owning for several years and came close to buying brand new. But it was my third Mk3 Megane and the first time I’d bought one as my weekend fun car, rather than my daily. So, it […]

The important thing to remember about Ferrari One-Off cars is that you definitely don’t have to like them. They are, after all, unique commissions intended to satisfy the whims of a single, preposterously moneyed client. We liked to think that Ferrari has some red lines when it came to matters of taste or how forcefully […]

The Toyota GR Corolla always seemed like the perfect fit for the UK market. It’s got some of the rallying goodness from the GR Yaris, a car that was massively oversubscribed when it arrived five years ago and still holds its value today, wrapped up in a five-door hatch that can comfortably fit people in […]

Nothing brings on a wave of embarrassment like stalling a car. It happens to the best of us, and is all the more mortifying when someone bears witness to it. As I discovered while manoeuvring a very racy Porsche 911 GT ‘evocation’ onto the PH stand at the Bicester Scramble a couple of weeks ago. […]
Traditionally speaking, beyond the uber-expensive stuff, the GTS has been the Porsche to buy no matter which model lineup you were selecting from. Probably it says something about the manufacturer’s modern approach to car building that it requires a sporty designation at all (aren’t all Porsches supposed to be sporty?) but let’s gloss over any […]
The Corsa VXR always existed in a curious space in the hot hatch hierarchy. Not quite as polished as a Fiesta ST, not quite as talented as the Clio RS – yet not so distant from either that it didn’t deserve an enthusiastic fanbase. Which is precisely what it got. Most hot Vauxhalls are so […]
Another day, another new Ferrari design that’s kicked up a fuss. This time, it’s the one-off SC40, a tribute to the legendary F40 complete with fixed rear wing, slanted nose and triangular ducts behind the doors. Ferrari even redeveloped a ‘carbon-Kevlar’ weave to really hammer home the F40 link. But, as with many of Flavio […]
