Nissan 370Z powers in

Just been for a spin in the Nissan 270Z - it goes like the wind. It looks the part with the roof down and the 3.7-litre engine offers awesome power. Road handling is also excellent.
The only downside is our weather in general, although to be fair, I've been very lucky during my week-long loan.
Review will be on www.carjourno.co.uk this week.

An eye on design

I think the interior of the Alfa Romeo MiTo can be summed up in one word - marmite.
You'll either love it or hate it.
It has an eye-catching carbon effect pattern that at times seems to be moving just like in old 60s films when the starlet gazed to the heavens as she thought back to previous events and happier days!

VW rolling on

The 100,000th third generation Scirocco rolled off the production line in Portugal on Friday - just two years after its market launch.
Now that's a lot of cars.

Well, well, well

My useless bit of information for today is..
In olden times, cars didn't have steering wheels and were controlled by a tiller.
You never know, it may come up in a quiz some day!

Is it me?

I can't believe it!
Someone actually asked me today what my website was all about.
Well, now let me think - it's called carjourno - would it be sci-fi films from the 1980s, or maybe historical disasters across Asia!
I'll let you be the judge.

Tanking it

Running out of fuel is certainly no laughing matter for Ecomedians Dan Adams and Christian Ancliff.
They will be tackling more than 500 miles of motorways, city-centre roads and rush hour traffic to make their debut at the Fringe Festival.
But most amazing of all - the comedy duo are aiming to drive all the way from London to Edinburgh on a single tank of fuel in their Citroën DS3, performing warm-up gigs each night along the way.
The tour kicks off in London on the August 1 and finishes in Edinburgh on August 6.

It's in Transit

So the white van man's favourite mode of transport is about to celebrate its 45th birthday.
That's right, the Ford Transit which made its debut the same year The Sound of Music was released, Tom and Jerry plus Thunderbirds arrived on our TV screens and Jim Clark won the Indianapolis 500 and F1 World Championship is about to reach the ripe old age of 45.
