The thought of having to insure your car can result in a hives outbreak for many of us road users - we see insurance premiums going up year upon year despite building up our no claims bonus which is meant to make premiums go down!

Motoring fans across the country have another reason to rejoice this weekend as the British Grand Prix at Silverstone hits screens.

If you think that all sounds too good to be true then think again as the world's leading supplier of navigation products, TomTom, is offering you the chance to win this ideal driver's holiday.

When the scorpion comes calling, you never back down . I am not, young lads, referring to The People's Wrestler also known as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson who acted in the film sharing the same Arachnida's name. No, instead I am speaking of the feeling incurred when laying eyes on one of the most revered badges in the automotive world. Abarth, of course!

Company executives through the ages have all possessed the almighty skill of making ordinarily exciting news sound mundane and clinical . This is less of a sweeping statement and more of a simple fact of life. Imagine my surprise then when, in front of a room full of journalists on the Barcelona launch of Toyota's new flagship sports coupé, the Chief Engineer of the GT86 project - Mr Tetsuya Tada - dropped the F Bomb. Nope, not a profanity or dirty utterance but simply one word; fun . And here's why he's on the money.

He sells it by the bottle . And ships it by the crate. Yes, it's Professor Green, the man with a doctorate in UK grime. We recently got sent a few pictures of a rather tasty looking black Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG on set with Pro and were intrigued as to the video that'd be produced.

What can I say about the Mini John Cooper Works GP? Well for starters it’s the fastest Mini ever. That’s probably enough as it is. However not only does this new Mini looks like a bit of a beast, but on top of that, it’s hard to argue against Mini’s motorsport pedigree - when they’ve poured plenty of their know-how into this car, you know it’s going to be a great hot hatch.

In a world of declining fossil resources , the day of the petrol and diesel-powered automobile is limited. That's nearly a given. Eventually there won't be enough excess oil or gas resources that the world's population will want to "squander" on road transport. And though we might extend their lifetime by again turning to coal, of which there is now more under the ground than there is oil, the process of converting coal to petrochemical products for powering cars is prohibitively expensive.

Made in Japan . Three words you're likely to see over and over again around your crib. I mean house. Fact of the matter is, most of the stuff us consumerist sods tend to purchase originates from overseas in the nether regions of the Far East. The Suzuki Swift is one such consumer delight.

Arsenal FC, the famous Premier League football club managed by one Arsène Wenger , have managed to maintain a strong front heading into the final stages of the season in a bid to cling on to the all-important 4th place that will allow them to qualify for the Champions League next season.

If you thought the cost of your driving lessons were high , wait until you start pricing up insurance for your first car! Insurers view young and inexperienced drivers as most likely to end up making a claim because their inexperience and youth can make them liable to get into more scrapes and accidents. And didn't you know us young crowd engage in street racing, all the time. It’s one of the few forms of discrimination that is still legal – and it’s only that way because the insurance companies have got the statistics behind them to back up their reasoning.
