New Citroën DS4 Makes Me Feel Old
Posted on 12:00am Tuesday 1st May 2012
Good news... the Citroën DS4 has starred in The Saturdays' latest single 30 Days. Citroën has, therefore, released a behind the scenes preview for its Facebook fans. This shows the video's set being created, and the band members having their hair sculpted and make-up plastered. Yes, it is fascinating stuff. Bad news.... this new song makes me feel older than Moses. I thought “Saturday” was simply a day of the week - not a collection of five female singers. This is more confusing than the musical genre “garage”. I thought people park in garages. What next? “The Wednesdays” playing the new “Loft Conversion” album?

Posted on 6:16pm Sunday 1st April 2012

New Ford Focus Review
Posted on 8:00pm Tuesday 18th October 2011
The new Ford Focus will soon be more familiar than sliced bread. After all, its practicality and versatility mean it is virtually guaranteed to sell like yeast to a baker. The new model is an evolution of its predecessor, rather than a complete revolution. As such this small family car's ingredients are easily recognisable, but new spices have been added to update its flavour. So, is this distinctive new workhorse a stale loaf or a value-packed baker's dozen?

New Jaguar XF Review
Posted on 11:40pm Sunday 18th September 2011
The Jaguar XF is more striking than a supermodel on the beach. However, as is the eventual fate of even the most beautiful people, this mighty saloon is now middle-aged. Time for a nip and tuck. The surgeon has performed liposuction on several key body parts. The wings and front bumper have been re-sculpted to maintain a youthful appearance, and collagen filler has exaggerated the bonnet's menacing power bulge. It also had a nose job, hence LED lights.

Oh My! Here Comes The Volkswagen Passat Estate
Posted on 2:54pm Sunday 21st August 2011
The new Volkswagen Passat estate is a Volkswagen Passat estate. This is everything motorists need to know before opening their long suffering chequebooks. After all, this versatile load-lugger's reputation alone virtually guarantees trouble free adventures. Nobody would ask to see Albert Einstein's G.C.S.E. chemistry certificate. Nobody would question Sir Ernest Shackleton's navigational skills. So, no need to think too hard about the Passat. Just buy it.
