Honest people DO exist… Thank you to the principled driver who left me a note after lightly smearing the front of the ID.7 in a tight parking bay. Genuine details, all sorted with minimum fuss, a lesson to us all…. 🙌 😃

Twenty years ago to the day, the administrators were called in to MG Rover on 8 April 2005. Brand historian and sage Keith Adams looks back at what went wrong – and what could've been 🤔 carmagazine.co.uk/features/opini…

Bit of a rare one: only 322 Skoda Citigo E electric city cars are registered in the UK (a tenth the number of its Yorkshire-inspired e-Up VW stablemate). As a petrol Citigo owner myself, I can only imagine this’d make a cracking city runabout, albeit with a small EV range… 🤔

Still such a progressive design, 27 years on. Hard to overstate how much better the Focus was than the Escort that went before, how it raised the standard of mainstream car dynamics and how it injected more progressive design into the volume sector. A proper game-changer! 👏 🤔

Quick go in the CAR magazine Audi S3 Saloon long-termer. I’ve always liked the A3 notchback shape and it works well on Audi Sport performance duty, especially in classy District Green (an £595 extra). Fizzy and fast, sensible and suave. Brittle ride though carmagazine.co.uk/our-cars/2024/…

A JZR trike! Thought it was an old-timer Morgan Three Wheeler at first glance, but turns out it’s the one made by John Ziemba Restorations in Lancashire. This rarity fitted in beautifully among the honeyed Rutland limestone 👏

The new issue of CAR magazine is out tomorrow – and it's packed with brilliant stories about cars. Like our first drive of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, a Land Rover Defender Octa vs Ariel Nomad mudfest, and coast-to-coast banger road trip in £1500 eBay bargains. Don’t miss it! 👀

Drove the Skoda Felicia Super roadster from 1963 this week: a 1.2-litre convertible into which I just about squeezed. With no seatbelts, I didn’t go anywhere near its 81mph top speed, but I can confirm it’s justly named after the Latin word for happiness! 😎
