Ok, we're cheating a bit here, as this photo was taken way back in March 2019. But the blazing sunshine and lifting lockdown measures have got us dreaming of our best driving roads. Everyone thinks the North Coast 500 is one of Britain's best routes, but while it's no doubt impressive, the lesser known South West Coastal 300 could actually be our Highlands schlep of choice.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"It is an almighty thing – devoid of flab and almost pure muscle – though given the 444bhp and 407lb ft totals, it starts demurely enough, with rasping overtones that sound enjoyably motorsporty, pregnant with power and response, and suitably exotic."

FROM THE ARCHIVE
“Why, you might ask yourself, should I buy an Australian-built Japanese car when I can buy the Japanese-built version of the same car?” Autocar wrote on 20 August 1983.

China should be treated as a pariah state
China should be treated as a pariah state for all sorts of reasons: outrageous copycat car designs, totalitarian government with an appalling human rights record, releasing coronaviruses.....

....since you seem to have set yourself up as the Autocar 'official' English language moderator....you may like to review your own offering! - "from which you crawled out from"

Take it slowly - you are f***
Take it slowly - you are f****** idiot. Why? Because Coronaviruses is a scientific term for a group of viruses. And yes, it can be used in plural form.
