I was delayed recently by two fatal accidents on the motorways in one day, which caused me to arrive home 3 hours late - and for scores of people to unexpectedly enter into mourning for those who died… This goes on every single day of the year. A minimum of three people died in those accidents… This is madness. It's not the fault of the car, van or lorry. It's the fault of the human in control. That human failed to drive according to conditions. That human was not in adequate control of their vehicle and so either died themselves or killed somebody else.

In days past I would've agreed with you Parker Kligerman. Drivers and Fans love good racing, they love flowing circuits that stress test the driver and car. But you see, there is (unfortunately at times) a line where driver and fan safety has to be drawn. And mostly its due to new regulations that modern circuit design is boring, or as Anthony Davidson recently stated "...'pathetic' due to the vast expanses of run-off."

When my friends asked me to be a groomsman in their wedding, I was delighted. The venue—a bespoke country club in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania—was three hours from Virginia, but what to drive? The old Galant doesn’t really behave on road trips anymore. And the Phaeton guzzles premium unleaded so heartily that you can watch the needle move. So when I was offered a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan for the weekend, I naturally took it.

The 2014 BMW M235i does not disappoint. BMW released some official photos and video footage today of its various iterations. We'll mostly stick to the M performance variant for the moment.

Whilst at Silverstone the other day we spotted this rather sexy beast! About £340k worth of kit...the team wasn't around, but i think they would have heard me start it up, haha. [Ed. Note: Desktop sized images within].
