I have decided to leave the fold, order cancelled and deposit on the way back to me. Having thought long and hard about it, I realised that the Emira was never going to be raw enough to be my fun car. It looks fantastic and as an everyday proposition it would be awesome, but for me I want a...

My very first car was a Spitfire 1500, this was followed by a Westfield SE (in which I did 38,000 miles). Then there was a gap whilst I didn't have a garage. Once I had a garage again, I built a Marlin Roadster with a 3.5l V8, then I built a Westfield XI. The XI was my favorite car to date...

I was a bit surprised when at the Silverstone launch Russell Carr described the car as a GT and not a sports car. This is what started my wobble.

This is my worry, I absolutely love the look of the Emira, but as a weekend special I'm beginning to think I would regret buying one. I have had similar doubts in the past when I have considered other potential weekend cars and always shied away, never before has a car grabbed me enough to...

I really need a test drive, I am beginning to waiver. My problem is that I like to drive a car that is raw and I fear that the Emira isn’t going to do it for me. In the past (a long time ago!), I had a Westfield SE as my fun car, I sold it when I got married and replaced it with a Fiat Coupe...

Nanny says that you may drive a Honda Jazz painted in the Government approved beige, however, if you so much as hang an air freshener on the rear view mirror it's off to jail for you. How dare you even think about adding stripes, and as for track day tyres it's up against the wall for you.

Given the sales numbers for the Alpine I'm not surprised they had to lower the interest rates to generate interest.

I have a much cheaper way to avoid swirl marks on my cars. I just don't clean them, they are for driving, not cleaning.

To be honest, it could be the launch colours but the camera has a habit of messing with the colour balance. Does anyone have the skills to adjust the colours so that the blue car matches the launch blue colour, that may give a better idea of how the other colours look in real life. I can't...

Whoop whoop! Hopefully we will also be able to see some of the cars in other colours as well, you know, just to make the choice easier (not).

I must admit, when I sat in the car last night I did find the seats a bit "American" spec, I think I had a good couple of inches room either side of me. Certainly not the body hugging seats I was expecting, However, on the Harry's Garage video the driver did mention that the seats in that car...
