How To Spend Your Weekend: Local Car Shows Can Be Enjoyable….
/
Last weekend, I spent Sunday Morning at a local car show near my home town. It was an annual event, but the attendance (both the spectators and the participants) seems to be smaller this year over past years.

It's Stormy in France: LeMans Tempest Could Be Your Daily Driver
/
I’m a big fan of GM’s Y-body platform. Why? In an alternate universe, it could’ve been the progenitor of a line of well engineered mid-size sports cars.

TVR's Russian Owner Alexander Smolensky on Future Models: Built in Germany, Corvette Powered, Hybrid Soon
/
TVR, a car with very little history in the US, has a rich heritage across the pond. And as any true petrol-head knows, the brand has been dead for a couple of years.
