THERE are some things in life you hope you never have to try out – like the pedestrian-friendly bonnet on the newly revised Mazda MX-5.
Come to think of it any pedestrian with a sense of self preservation will be hoping you never have recourse to try it out.
It’s there, but in all probability you’ll never need it. Unlike the sat nav system and climate control air conditioning that are now standard on the iconic little sportscar, that’s been with us since 1989.
AS large cars go, Chrysler’s 300C fills a fair old parking space.
There’s no denying it’s one big heap of metal, so a bit of judicious rejigging of the parking spaces on our drive was called for when it tacked into view the other day.
THERE’S a choice of just one when your thoughts turn to the Toyota GT86, the Japanese manufacturer’s first sports coupe for yonks.
And to be honest, if you want a light and highly involving car that can take corners better than Robin van Persie, you don’t need much more of a choice.
Hats off to Gordon Shedden after his success in the British Touring Car Championship this year.
His title winning Honda Civic (‘just like the car you drive to work in on Monday mornings’ in profile only) was a popular attraction at the recent Top Gear Live show at the NEC, and this young fan displayed his tenuous Scottish roots posing by Flash’s car.
Here’s to next season and another gripping title chase.
