Car Of The Week – Classic Porsche

Porsche are celebrating 50 years of Porsche this year. Lady Peanut is a big Porsche fan so she has been enjoying the extra attention the media has focussed on Porsche this year. Last week she sniffed out a lovely video on the Porsche statue at Goodwood and today we bring you a lovely video from the wonderful Petrolicious gang. Watch it, enjoy it and dream.

Car Of The Week – Ferrari

Our recent Italian Road Trip saw us visit the Ferrari Museum. If Ferrari is your thing then this and a factory visit would be the focus of your planned pilgrimage, for us though, while it was a great afternoon out, it did have a feel of being in a car showroom.  I sound a bit negative, I’m not but I do find spotting a ferrari in the wild more exciting than overdosing on red Ferrari’s here.

Car OF The Week – MINI Paceman

On Friday I got to see the new MINI Paceman JCW in person for the first time, when my boss at work – Anne – collected her brand new, very sexy black and red version and fetched it into work to show to her team. I have liked the Paceman from the very first time I saw the Concept revealed back in December 2010, which I blogged on here. Next, I watched all the videos and press releases about it on line and was still impressed and now, having seen it for real it has not disappointed. I love it – simples! Continue reading

Car Of The Week – MINI GP

When I first set eyes on the new MINI GP above, I wasn’t really smitten.

It has a presence there is no denying that and the rear diffuser definitely looks the business. Continue reading

Car Of The Week – MINI Paceman

This is a MINI Press release, but why I really wanted to run with it is because the Paceman looks gorgeous in the colours they have picked for it and this one is no exception. The Press release is below, but at the least drool over the photos!

Driving fun to the power of four: MINI continues to expand its all-wheel-drive range. Continue reading

CAR OF The Week – MINI Coupe JCW

Falling In Love With The JCW Coupe

We first saw the MINI Coupe when it was released as a concept car back in 2009 and it was an instant hit with us. The car became a reality in 2011 and in truth it was pretty close to the original concept and we first saw this in Liverpool when it was launched in October 2011. However, the car we saw was a Cooper S in red and to be frank we were less than smitten. The car looked gauche and gawky, it lacked balance and in truth we went off the car big time. Continue reading
