No such thing as a quiet week here on PH and, mid-summer or not, the team is busy bringing you the latest on the stuff that matters. Or, at least, diverts you from the important stuff you probably should be doing instead.
It's PistonHeads versus The Man this week, personified first as the Lib Dems who apparently want to see every petrol and diesel car
off the roads by 2040
. You can imagine how well that one's going for them
in General Gassing
. Elsewhere Audi's continued marketing genius continues to impress, even if our regulatory nannies won't let us see
the latest ad
. The RS6 featured therein features in
this week's Harris video
while Honda's elegant demonstration of its ingenuity won plenty of fans in an
earlier PH Ad Break
PH wouldn't be PH without a bit of virtual tyre kicking, Shed getting excited over
an old Lancia
lacklustre fast Volvo
secondhand V8 one
in the classifieds. And if that didn't tickle your fancy we were also reunited with another old friend,
now up for sale
in the PH classifieds having previously featured in our
fast estates
Plenty of video based fun to distract you this week, from the fascinating tale of the have a go hero BMW employee who took it upon himself to build the firm's
first 3 Series estate
. We've also got Alonso putting
LaFerrari through its paces
new WTCC Citroen
and a fabulous step back in time to
70s saloon car racing
at Crystal Palace. And a desktop
Pic Of The Week
to match. Oh, and if you've got a gap in your DVD or Blu-ray collection for
C'etait un Rendezvous
you can fill it here with a PH discount to boot.
