We're 6 today

Well we hit 6 years old today, and still finding interesting and unusual old and new cars to highlight to you and there's still a significant number still to bring you.

You may have noticed the number of posts a month has reduced recently, to be honest a change in jobs (we all have to have a day job and I also help run a UK national car club) I'd rather post up one a week rather than rush articles out.

The next year will the same as previous with many shows being highlighted and many, many more cars. If you know of something you think should be on here please just get in touch.

Random Picture: Motorbike Chariot Racing

I saw this picture over the weekend, I know nothing about the event but it just looks like an awesome spectacle to have watched and I really want to know how the bikes were controlled.

Honda EZ 90 Cub

Just looking at this bike and you know its straight out of the early 90’s with its totally enclosing fairings and all that white. What we’ve got is an update of the original Cub for the modern era, just a shame it was for off road use only.

Random Video: Electric Cars (1967)

Back in the mid 60’s there was a push for electric cars, with Ford and BMC preparing concepts for the plug-in future that was only 5 years away-
