Our kind of garden party

Summer time usually involves those annoyingly awkward garden parties. You know the sort, drab company to talk to and an iced wheelie bin full of mediocre beer. This garden party looks a lot more interesting.

Feeling the burn: The Kia Soul Burner September 3rd, 2010 . By John Slavin

Feeling the burn: The Kia Soul Burner

Ever since I first saw a Kia Soul trundling down the road, purporting to be just ‘a car,’ with a normal looking person at the wheel, I was enamoured. It’s a fantastic looking thing. God knows where the stylist got his ideas, but wherever it is, I want to visit. Problem with making such good ...

Mixing open wheel race cars and public roads means that superhuman car control is needed. These guys have it in spades.

Now here is a decent set of  family values. Buy a Merc W123, strap a massive turbo to the engine and proceed to get it as sideways as possible.

The Ferrari 458 Italia has to be cursed, this is the tenth Ferrari 458 to be written off and it is not a pretty site.

This week it is Bonneville Speedweek, the largest meet at the Bonneville Saltflats which attracts speedfreaks from around the world. There is one aim and one aim only, to see how fast they can push their machines. We are not talking fast, we are talking seriously fast.

BMW and art is one of the best collabos in history. This is the full story of BMW’s introduction to art, or art’s introduction to BMW. You decide.

Due the the sheer speed that news spreads nowadays, motor shows have lost some of their shock and awe. We hear about, or see the cars weeks, even months before they hit the show stands. Porsche surprised all of the motoring press at this year’s Geneva Motor Show by showcasing a car that no one knew about – the 918 Spyder. This is their secret.

Peugeot 308cc: It’s for girls…

Recently I had a Peugeot 308cc for a week. I could go into detail about how it drives, how it’s not very dynamic or fun, but is very relaxing and easy. I could tell you that it’s not very fast from a standstill, but that it has sufficient torque when on the move. But you ...

Honda CR-Z: The schizophrenic sporty hybrid

The Honda CR-Z is a small car, but it could make quite a big impact on the way people buy cars. It is a car which Honda describes as a “sporty hybrid coupe,” but it could be more than that. It could be a trend-setter and a catalyst for breaking down stereotypes. Being powered by ...

On the road: Kia Venga

After the scrappage scheme smaller car manufactures who relished in the delights of the government funding are coming forward with stronger products. Kia is starting to dabble in unfamiliar territory with their new found confidence and the Kia Venga is proof of this. The Venga – no relation to the 90s Eurodance pop group – ...

I don’t know about this global warming stuff. It might well all be natural and outside of our control, but then again, it could all be our fault. However, no matter what camp you’re in, you’ll be paying the price, whether at the pumps or with your road tax. With fuel hiking up in price ...

Honda CR-Z: Pocket rocket evolution

The terms hybrid and performance have largely been mutually exclusive within the last few years of car manufacturing. Honda’s new CR-Z hybrid sports coupe has gone some way to change that perception. The new 2+2 coupe gives people who care about emissions, just as much as the experience of driving, a new option. For £17,000, ...

Can you kickflip a Qashqai+2?

A few weeks ago Motormorph had the opportunity to test Nissan’s Qashqai+2. Initially perplexed by the thought of a family car as we have parenting experience on par with Jade Goody, I stuck to what I knew and played around with the tech inside the car.

Morgan 4/4 blasting around Millbrook

The Morgan Motor Company is one of the last bastions in the British motor car manufacturing game. At Morgan they are true Brits, they build cars in a shed, eat sausages and use seemingly archaic materials such as wood to make fantastic sports cars.

Kia Picanto: The rise of the Korean foot soldier

Kia and Korean cars in general have always had stigma placed upon them due to their rapid invasion into the mass automotive market.
