And they are off
The Cannonballers that is. Again, it is one of those annual events (2003, 2004 and now 2005) that we go to as it is such a good spirited event and some of the cars you will only see or hear once in a...

Lucky or unlucky?
I’ll let you decide… After reporting my snapped spring 5 months ago (to the exact day), I had the Octavia in for its annual MOT and when the brakes were tested, the brake line split! I dread to think...

Yup, you heard it here first, the Octavia is for sale. I would love to keep it forever and ever, but after three and a half years and 100,000 happy miles the time has come to move to something new. If...
