Out-takes
"My boyfriend wants to know what FQ means" she asked. "Work it out," I replied, "The second word is quick..."
Mitsubishi
Evo VIII
"The guy from Vauxhall departed with the cheery words "Have fun – they all come back crashed."
Vauxhall VXR220
"On first slipping behind the wheel of VW's executive monster, the business end of Concorde looked marginally
less complex..."
VW Phaeton
"The design chaps looked up SUV in the Automotive A-Z, discovered such vehicles had four-wheel drive and the ability to climb mountain tracks, and built such features – into a typical Porsche"
Porsche Cayenne
"The roof retraction process – a testament to what happens when a designer gets out of the wrong side of bed in the morning"
Vauxhall Tigra
