Sportsmen, Spice Girls and smoking: the week in brief

German tuner Geiger showed the world its take on the outlandish Hummer H3 and Ford GT, while on the other side of the world, Australian manufacturer Holden unveiled details of its latest pickup – the 410bhp Maloo R8.

Jaguar showed a little more reserve and unveiled the revised X-Type, and Mazda gave the world official details of its new baby, the second generation Mazda 6.

We drove the gorgeous Nissan 350Z, while leaked photos of the hotly anticipated new GT-R surfaced.

As a new survey found drivers look set to ignore new Highway Code rules about smoking behind the wheel, Top Gear stars Jeremy Clarkson and James May lit up a storm by smoking tobacco pipes on air.

Clarkson was also named as the fourth wittiest Brit and we asked Auto Trader readers what they thought his greatest quip was.

We also gave you sportsmen and a Spice Girl – current super middleweight champion of the world Joe Calzaghe is selling his luxury Mercedes-Benz SL350 on Auto Trader – and offering the lucky buyer two tickets to his next fight.

Chelsea midfielder and Germany international Michael Ballack is flogging his Porsche 911 Turbo, and a not-so-sporty Audi A3 formerly owned by Sporty Spice Mel C is for sale on the site.

We gave you inside tips from the professionals on how to haggle for your new ride, a guide to buying tyres, and a rundown of tax and insurance details for drivers who have just passed their test.

And we jumped behind the wheels of the Volkswagen California van and the rugged Seat Altea Freetrack.

Speaking of Seat, touring car star Jason Plato – who only last week suffered burns in a mental Caparo T1 at 150mph – lost out to arch rival Fabrizio Giovanardi in the final rounds of the British Touring Car Championship.

  1. An individual appliance that you need as part of your kitchen area to help keep it clean and neat is a dishwasher. Regardless of whether you have a large or a small kitchen area, you’ll prefer to have an additional appliance that would still keep your kitchen in buy. A dishwasher that could do this task is a slimline dishwasher. This dishwasher is incredibly functional, and its created narrower so that it can easily fit into small spaces

  2. This is a wonderful idea. I am sure many people will find this useful. Quit Smoking
