Chris Harris’ E28 M5

Chris Harris is definitely one of my favourite motoring journalists…and he’s recently pulled his BMW E28 M5 out of storage to put to use.

(Chris) “Not a hint of corrosion, the interior is mint and the wheels are unmarked. Can’t wait to collect it later today.”

it looks great…as all E12 and E28s seem to….

Mazda – Peugeot = 0

Has anyone else noticed how similar the front ends of the Mazda 3 look with the Peugoet 207? yeah they’re not identical, but clearly Mazda has been borrowing some ideas, and changing them jusssssst enough to avoid plagiarism.  Cheeky.

I recently drove a MAZDA 6 rental car on my trip to San Francisco last week, and I am delighted to report that it was a slow, soul-less, derivative pile of rubbish!  “Zoom zoom” my arse…
