Testing, testing
For obvious reasons, the concept of a ‘passenger ride’ doesn't light the fires of sweaty-palmed anticipation in most road testers. Car maker A will put you on a predawn flight to Helsinki, whence you'll board an internal connection up to Rovaniemi, followed by an hour or two's transit and plenty of hanging around, only to sit on the less interesting side of some compact crossover prototype, staring at an entirely disguised dash while being driven around a frozen lake for 15 minutes. Then home you trot, too little the wiser.

Why I love... DISNEY'S CARS
Cars was the first film we took my younger brother to see in the cinema, and he loved it so much that we had to go back and watch it another three times. So I suppose I have him to thank for my Lightning McQueen mega-fan status.
