RENAULT CALLS FOR UK-STYLE ZEV MANDATE IN EU

Bit of trouble with the Mini. Nothing serious, just inconvenient. Our 65,000-mile, 69-plate Cooper S was about 3000 miles short of its next major service when a warning popped up to announce that its paddle-shift auto needed new fluid and a comprehensive reset.

What do you do if you're Vauxhall? The things we worried about a few years ago – it being in the squeezed middle, neither a premium brand nor a value brand, which are the main places profitable car makers tend to be – are coming to pass. Vauxhall has the second-most dealers in this country, is still the third-most-trusted brand in some surveys and yet is currently being outsold here by Peugeot.

The momentum is with Lando Norris as Formula 1 embarks on a triple-header season finale, beginning with the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend. The 26-year-old has displayed new steel to overturn a gaping 34-point deficit to McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, following what was then a devastating retirement from the Dutch GP in August, and now holds a healthy 24-point advantage over the Australian. No one could have predicted such a swing as Piastri celebrated at Zandvoort – or that he would make only a single podium visit in the next six races.

Trading up from a bike to a V12 Aston

“I came here from South Africa in 2007 with £312.98 to my name. I’ve always remembered the pennies!” says Manni Azizi, a retired entrepreneur. “I couldn't afford a car so I rode a bicycle.” Today, 18 years later, he has considerably more than £300 to his name — at least enough to afford his rather fine, £225,000 Aston Martin Vanquish V12.

When everyday cars sneaked into BBDC

Think of Autocar's annual Britain's Best Driver's Car (BBDC) test and your mind will rightly project visions of Porsche 911s, V12-fired Ferraris and scaffold-like lightweights. But once in a blue moon, something entirely ordinary slips into the field. Not even a GTI, ST or anything to that effect, but common-or-garden machinery that lines the nation’s streets.

Why I love... MAX POWER

The 1990s wasn't just a golden decade for sports cars and supercars: it also ushered in the era of the modified car. Young drivers, buoyed by a strong economy, access to innumerable cheap motors and an explosion in the fibreglass and in-car entertainment markets, flocked to put their own spin on almost everything they could get their hands on.
