Spend Summer in a Convertible

27 July 2018

This has been the driest start to a summer since records began in 1961, with just 47mm of rain on average having fallen so far nationwide so why not invest in a Convertible car to top up your tan and make the most of this endless sunshine?

But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a lot of... Read full article

But while fossil fuel consumption has its obvious disadvantages, it did bring us the internal combustion engine and the modern vehicle as we know it. The answer then, it seems, is not to get rid of car altogether, but simply update it to be more efficient and environmentally friendly.
