Is there a viable alternative to vehicles run on fossil fuels?

Thursday, 29 April 2010

Record diesel and petrol prices of more than 120p per litre in the middle of a global recession are a stark reminder that the days of cheap fill-ups are probably gone for good. While American and European consumers may be less keen to brim their tanks than they were before, millions of new motorists in China, India and other emerging nations are eager to take up the slack. And if that alone didn't provide a big enough spur to use mainstream fuels more efficiently and develop practical alternatives, there are other pressures too.

Tax changes and legislation are also forcing the motor industry to do something about it.

Making of the fast and the famous

Monday, 4 January 2010

You’d be brave, or mad, to try and remake a movie great like The Great Escape. Likewise, trying to remake the most cultish of cult car movies, Rendezvous, made nearly 25 years ago when Claude Lelouche shot a high speed dash across Paris at dawn, would be petrolhead and cinematic suicide. ‘The Run’, shot by a Hollywood film crew and stunt drivers, using Nissan 350Z’s on closed Prague roads, showed how big bucks do not create a better sequel.
