    Legend has it it was Enzo Ferrari, that on upon seeing one for the first time, declared the Jaguar E-type “The most beautiful car in the world”. Praise indeed, and especially so when you consider Ferrari’s own back catalogue wasn’t exactly short of seriously attractive looking machinery; you could hardly call a 250 GT California or a 250 Berlinetta ugly. However, did the E-type’s almost...

   Think Alfa Romeo and if you’re anything like me you’ll probably think of delicate sports cars, pretty little saloons, racing red cigar-shaped single seaters, and legendary drivers such as Fangio and Farina.

      Figures were never really my strong-point, so let’s get them out of the way first shall we?     Ferrari’s GTC4Lusso is a 680bhp, 12 cylinder, 4 seater, 4 wheel-drive, 4 wheel-steer, 0-62 in 3.4 seconds, 0-125 mph in 10.5 seconds, 208 mph all-out super-coupe.

     You may, like me, not have noticed the subtle face-lift Fiat gave their loveable little 500 last year. After 8 years of production and over 1.5 million sales, Centro Stile FIAT decided it was time to refresh both the 500’s exterior and interior, whilst retaining the unmistakable looks - that were so obviously inspired by the genius of what was the original Dante Giacosa rear-engined Nouva...

We are planning a very special dinner party for my Nan's 70th and knowing that all the food talk that comes with planning a menu would make us ravenous we headed out for lunch to discuss it in style. It was another gloriously sunny day on Friday so we chose Romolo the Italian restaurant and cocktail lounge next to the river on Victoria Quay. I've been wanting to try Romolo £5 lunch for a while...
