I’ve just been driving the new Porsche Cayman S – the one with the new direct-injection engine and the limited-slip diff, the one that’ll now hit 60mph in just 4.9 seconds – out in Spain.

Some of the world’s coolest ‘plane contenders…
at 7:49 pm on Saturday November 29, 2008
Harrier with a full load on looks good. And VTOL is cool, no doubt about it. But others floated your boat..er.. plane. Keep reading.
727 limo. Eh?
at 7:15 am on Monday November 24, 2008
Remember hearing about this a while ago and just remembered it. It’s a jet fuselage mounted on an old Merc bus. Seats more people than I have friends. It doesn’t need to exist. I’m glad it does. Get the full story from the chaps at TechEblog. Now what else would make a good limo?
How far shall we go?

Now some of you might know that soon I’ll be getting a new longterm test car at Top Gear and it’s a BMW X6. My reasoning is that if you were going to buy one of these ..er.. coupe-ish SUVs that you’re probably not the most shy and retiring of types, so I’ve decided that [...]
Hardcore Exoskeleton
at 3:04 pm on Tuesday November 18, 2008Is this proper tech or a very good hoax? I don’t know, but it looks ace.

Could you handle this?

So I came across this old advert for this 1960 Vespa Prostreeter. And I wondered: how much are my children worth?
I reckon I could drive this every day. It’s small. Nippy. Possibly not the ‘BlueMotion’ variant, judging by that stack… but I’m game.
Get lamped
at 3:48 pm on Tuesday October 14, 2008
In a very TG stylie, these high end lamps are made from bits of cars. We love them.
Campbell Levy designs in the ‘States (www.Campbelllevydesigns.com) will make you up a lamp or table out of your fave car parts – and I reckon they’d look great in the TG studio. If we could afford them.
