New Lotus Esprit On The Way - Wednesday, 5th of March 2008 |
|
|
I was stuck behind a mid 90's Lotus Esprit the other day and was thinking just how stuck in an 80's timewarp it looked. Taking cues from the Lambo Countach and sticking with chunky lines it just didnt sit nice on the road when mixed in with modern traffic. The good news is that a new Esprit is in the making and will give Lotus something with a bit of grunt to punt to the British public instead of just their Rover and Toyota powered gokarts. For info check the link. http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/Lotus-Esprit/231264/

Evolution Of Car Logos - Wednesday, 5th of March 2008 |
|
|
If you've ever seen a new car launching from one of the big manufacturers and thought "hold on a minute, that doesnt look like the right logo" you could be right. The big auto makers are forever changing and tweaking their corporate branding, sometimes the alterations are subtle - sometimes not so much. Check out the following link for some of the best ones. http://www.neatorama.com/2008/02/18/evolution-of-car-logos/

UK Modified Car Mags - Monday, 25th of February 2008 |
|
|
Every year the magazines publish their sales figures from the previous 12 months and the latest numbers have just been announced.
Future Publishing have managed to fight against the current tide within the modified car market and have shown a 4% increase in newsstand sales with FastCar while arch rival Max Power have dropped a massive 36% in the same time frame!
Where FastCar tell it like it is and don't claim to be high and mighty it looks like Max Power's turncoat antics have blown up in their face with the kids not buying anymore due to the lack of topless chicks and the serious enthusiast not interested in giving them another go now they've turned on a dime and are now a supposed "serious motoring magazine".
With Max Power selling over 250,000 copies a month only a few years ago and dropping to around 45,000 a month you really have to ask them - was all the tits and ass really worth it?
Congrats to FC on a great year and here's to many more as they've stuck to their guns and haven’t given two fingers to the scene that's helped support them for the past couple of decades.
