What car should Schuey drive?

What to do?

Lexus LFA sold out?
Lexus LFA
Despite its incredible £336k price tag, Lexus claims demand for its LFA supercar already outstrips supply.
According to an official press release, “formal expressions of interest in purchase” (not official sales) already outnumber the 500 LFA’s planned for production.
It’s possible to order an LFA up until the end of the Geneva Motor Show, which takes place in March.
The F1-inspired supercar is available in 56 countries, with all European sales being taken care of by Lexus Park Lane, London.
We were surprised by the asking price when it was announced, but it seems there are plenty of petrolheads with more than £300k to spend on a very cool new toy.

Wrong number
Ever since the first registration number was issued in the UK way back in 1904, car owners have paid daft sums of money to secure something tasty, to make their car stand out from the crowd.
While an expensive car doesn’t look quite right without a posh plate, when you’re driving a 15-year old Cavalier, spending a couple of hundred quid on a cheap registration to disguise its age seems rather pointless.

Footballers are a strange bunch aren’t they?

Turbo or non-turbo, that’s the question
Honda S2000
Engineers are being pulled in two directions. Customers expect new models to be more powerful, but burn less fuel than the cars which went before.
So, it’s hardly surprising the latest vehicles are more often than not turbocharged.
It’s the cheapest and most effective way of making a petrol engine more efficient.
Forced induction is even the direction BMW’s tuning division M-Sport is taking for its latest engines.
But are turbo’d cars as fun to drive?
