TAKING THE MICK • Columnist, Mick Clements was Performance VW royalty for many years. He was there at the very start and acted as our ‘man in the North’ for many years. Then, over night, sadly it all stopped. Well, thankfully, it looks like he’s back and he’s lost none of that Northern charm, or so he says…

RABBIT STEW • If you thought this carbon-bodied, bewinged Time Attack Rabbit looked pretty wild from the outside, wait until you hear what’s lurking beneath.

ONE LOVE • Some model car owners love to hoard their collections while others, like Michael Heywood, are all about the build. That’s not to say he hasn’t owned a few custom creations over the years…

CAR OF THE YEAR 2024 RESULTS • We’ve been running our coveted Car of the Year competition since 2007. Choosing a winner doesn’t get any easier - that’s why we leave the judging up to you guys. So, who won? Well, that would be telling…

GEEK CHIC • From the moment we spotted Stuart Turner’s bagged Mk1 Polo lurking outside Goodwood House at last year’s FOS, pretending to be a bone-stock classic, we just knew we were going to get along.

READERS’ RIDES

WINGIN’ IT! • We'd love to try to explain the rationale behind Tony’s last 12 months of modified motoring, but we don't really know where to start. He’s always saying he'd like...
