Petrol Crisis Conspiracy

Selling Surplus Fuel or Driving EV Sales?

It appears as if the UK fuel crisis has finally ended. So what caused it? Just an overblown minor news story, or was there a deeper conspiracy behind it. Was it intended to create a high demand for surplus fuel that had accumulated during the lockdown, or was it to accelerate a shift to electric cars as drivers are put off by longer queues for fuel.

London Gridlocked Due To Petrol Shortage!

It will enforce road rules in a way that has never been possible before and in the event of an accident, an on-board black box will reveal your exact actions during the incident. These rules will change everything about driving as we know it. As a motorist, and particularly as a car owner, this is potentially the most important video you’ll ever watch!

Lamborghini Countach Vs Countach

2021 limited edition or 1971 Icon

So what do I think of the ‘new’ Lamborghini Countach, which is actually just a limited edition final hurrah of the Aventador (or the Sian based on the Aventador). It’s cool, beautiful and will be better in every possible way than the iconic legendary original – a flawed but brilliant standard-bearer for the ultimate poster supercar. Will it detract from the myth of the original? Nah.

Will this be the Last True Lotus?

Taking a look at the all-new 2022 Lotus Emira that was revealed yesterday and will go on sale next Spring. It’s the last Lotus to not be electrified, is it then the last true Lotus?
