F1 Driver Salaries

Posted: 10/04/2014

One of those high profile sports that seems to splash a seemingly inexhaustible supply of cash, regardless of the economy, F1 is forever in search of the best drivers in the world.

I remember watching an episode of Top Gear where the gang chose 3 track prepared cars (well, one was a Morgan 3 wheeler...) and went to have a play around Donington Park race track. Clarkson was enthused by how much fun it can be for around £100! The only small issue is that not everyone has a £50k+ track ready car. So what if you are a car enthusiast and would...

Posted: 20/03/2014

If your alloy wheels are in need of a face-lift, you may feel brave enough to take on the task yourself.

The Torque Converter

Posted: 13/03/2014

Not to be confused with a torque converter, also used in transmissions. As we all know, there’s something called a clutch that separates the engine from the wheels, enabling us to stop the car, whilst not stalling the engine.

Cheap car mods

Posted: 24/02/2014

We all know it’s easy to be tempted into buying "cheap" car modifications rather than saving up for more expensive parts. However it is often these smaller, cheaper items that make a car truly unique so choose wisely or face the consequences!
