Honda Civic Type-R, love it or hate it, remains one of the most enjoyable sports hatchbacks out there since the release of  its first model in 1997. With the fifth generation of the Type-R now debuting in Geneva's Motor Show it is time to look back at the previous fourth generation Civic Type-R (CTR) model, code named the  FK2.

The Ford “RS” brand has always been a benchmark that many automotive manufacturers looked up to; it is highly praised, loved and enjoyed by many. Any model leaving the Ford factory marked with the respectable “Rallye Sport” badge was designed to put smiles on drivers faces. Ford Focus RS was one of them; it is one of the scariest yet one of the most enjoyable hatchbacks out there.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover”…

If there’s one thing this old and wise saying describes accurately, it is the experience of driving one of the world’s finest front wheel drive cars- the one and only Peugeot 205. Don’t let the small, not so aerodynamic looking vehicle fool you; it is capable of outperforming more modern and muscular vehicles of the same class.

Take it back to old school

There used to be time when car meets were all about fun, making new friends and talking a load of rubbish all day - be it cars, football or other nonsense. Somewhere in the middle of all this we lost it all. We killed it with prizes, we killed it with "clubs" and "stands", we killed it with envy and jealousy. We killed it completely. It is time to go back to the basics. Today's "Cars and Coffee" was a proof that we've had enough, and we just want to go back to having fun.And
what an amazing turnout and excellent coffee morning it was! Well done to the Northern Irish car enthusiasts "Autolifers" for organizing the Cars and Coffee morning at the Bandridge outlet.
