Had my Audi A2 nearly four years and only discovered today that it has a third sun visor to block the gap above the mirror!

It's been a busy year for work so the Escort hasn't had many trips out in 2024. I put a few miles on it a couple of weeks ago with @OctaneMatthew and his lovely (fast) Integra Type R on a couple of glorious days in Wales

Spotted this absolutely MINT Audi A2 in a rare colour at Sainsbury’s Mansfield today and thought “I really, really like that…”

Audi has today unveiled the Type 52 ‘Schnellsportwagen’ at the Goodwood FoS: a three-seat mid-engined fastback bred from the V16 Auto Union racing cars of the 1930s, drawn-up by Ferdinand Porsche in 1935. Only, It was never built – until now! octane-magazine.com/news/aut…

An older platform guard saw how pumped up I was about riding the Bullet and presented me with some special collector cards. I was amazed by the gesture until I turned them over and saw they were colouring in cards they dish out to all the young kids! Still love them.

I’ve shot several cars using light painting, but never my own. With permission to use a local warehouse at night I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Still learning and I need a better tripod, but not bad.

To many, the Ferrari 250 GTO is the unsurpassed peak of all things automotive. But even Ferrari tried to improve on it, and chassis 5575GT is the last of all. Marc Sonnery delves into its incredible history in the July issue. 📸 Nick Lish

Now here is a very rare opportunity! This 1993 Toyota Supra is a collectors dream. A twin turbo, manual, UK supplied car! Only 66,000 miles from new, with one owner. Possibly the rarest part… it’s complete original specification and unmodified! Head to manorparkclassics.com
