This is a somewhat contentious one - cool tech meets Big Brother, you could say - but the psychological implications are interesting. The UK has been trialling a system of licence plate recognition on one of the major highways, which flashes up a car’s registration if it exceeds the speed limit. Apparently few people paid [...]

Now Shell have rebranded and tweaked their Optimax fuel - it’s up from 98 to 99 RON, and is called V-Power. Frankly the name doesn’t appeal and I preferred it called [...]
I have to confess, I’m not the biggest fan of SUVs. Not for any tree-tonguing environmental reasons, just because they seem a bit “try too hard” unless they’re actually owned by people who really do need 4×4 capabilities.

The Director of Design for the Chevrolet Camaro concept – Tom Peters took the 400-horsepower aluminum small-block V-8, with six-speed manual transmission, along with a super sophisticated chassis and four-wheel independent suspension out for it’s very first drive. General Motors put this video together to share Peters’ feelings on the experience, and to allow [...]
I’ve always thought Peugeots were boring looking car. The French are known for French fries (just kidding); not making cars – right? Think again because this bad boy is short of a pair of wings. The 908 RC hums on a V12 engine putting out around 700 horsepower with 885 [...]
