Thanks to all who listed their Top 10 AC/DC songs – the ones they’d buy from iTunes. The query was, of course, a generational one. Bon Scott vs Brian Johnson, but with a twist. Let me explain. I’ve never given AC/DC much specific thought. They’re a bit like the walls of your house – they’re always there. They’ve never needed […]
I often think that companies are taking things too far when it comes to gadgets in cars. I usually come around once I experience them, but there are still many that I’ll happily live without. If the Bluetooth seat becomes a reality, then it’ll quite possibly be one of them. From Autoblog: To get your seat fitted perfectly to your
First of all, let me just say I’ve always been a fan of the awkward looking Porsche Panamera. The new Sport Turismo Concept version turns an outstanding but strange looking car into something simply outstanding. I think it looks incredible and I’m sure it would be just as amazing to drive.

A little bit of Spyker news has drifted through the internet tubes today. First of all, a date has been set for Victor Muller’s case against GM. It’ll go up for oral arguments on February 19 next year. On a different note, there’s also some automotive news from Spyker today: the signing of a definitive agreement with Youngman based on

I have a little theory running around in my head and I’d appreciate you helping me out with it. AC/DC have just launched their entire catalogue on iTunes, giving fans the opportunity to digitise their whole collection or pick and choose the favourites they want to purchase. Let’s suppose you’re an AC/DC fan and you want to get some of
I’ve been on the road for a week, seeing a bit of northern Tasmania from behind the wheel of a new Subaru Forester. It’s a very fat and floaty car and I wouldn’t recommend one to a driving enthusiast. Families? It’s probably quite good.
