300,000 imbeciles unaware that satellite navigation doesn't drive for them
A recent survey has revealed that satellite navigation systems have ’caused’ up to 300,000 accidents on Britain’s roads. More than 1.5 million people also claimed that they have performed sudden manoeuvres, changes in direction and blithely driven the wrong way down a one-way street at the bequest of their dashboard menace.
Car Camera Voyager Pro captures timeless memories of obnoxious driving
Due to the absurd cost of motor insurance, my parents never let me take either of their cars out for a spin when I younger – probably for fear that I might take ‘spin’ a little too literally. If they had however, I bet they would have wanted one of these on board.
Eight Lane Scalextric M25 Edition, for birthdays, weddings and management training days
Imagine the fun. Imagine the danger. Imagine the horrendous impact it would have on your electricity bill and the environment. Actually, no, don’t imagine the last one. Just imagine fun and excitement.
Because that’s what those male models are experiencing in this fantastic photograph, and it’s all thanks to the Eight Lane Scalextric – a monster, custom-made car-racing set that’s available for hire right now, should you have a room large enough to accommodate its motorway-sized dimensions…
The Tesla Roadster is finally here! Well not here, the US. Still..!
After passing its Vehicle Safety Standards tests with flying colours earlier this year, the electric car even the most sceptical petrol heads have been sneaking furtive glances at has finally gone into production.
CES: Spy Video ATV-360 car – great for keeping tabs on your boss
It is an odd thing, but the best stuff at CES 2008 so far hasn't really been gadgets but toys. Sure huge home servers, Google loaded GPS systems and High Def camcorders are fun but can they really compete with remote control spy cars – don’t think so. So tomorrow I am itching to take The Spy Video ATV-360 out for a test drive. It’s the next gen of the way cool Spy Video Car from a couple of years back. That fantastic little toy was a remote controlled car that sent video signals from its integrated camera back to the user who could see who was coming on a LCD headset.
Porsche's bobsled for whippersnippers is affordable even for the poor(sche)
Porsche has joined luxury car manufacturer Ferrari in an attempt to take over the world by branding every tenuous product with their colours and logos. We’ve seen everything from coffee makers to gym machines, but bobsleds are something I never would’ve considered they’d lend their name to.

Opinion: Does Nokia move pave way for car that drives itself?
I’ve wanted a car that drives itself ever since I first watched Knightrider. What child of the 1980s didn’t grow up hoping that by the time they turned 17 a real-life version of K.I.T.T. would be on the market. Well, this weekend I turn 30 and that hope is still not a reality some 13 years later…

Ferrari Unica exercise machine is the stuff of Hannibal Lecter's dreams
Your eyes aren’t deceiving you – this is a Ferrari-branded machine capable of EXTREME BODILY TORTURE. The only difference between this and a stretching-rack is that the pictured ‘Unica’ (so-called because men are in danger of becoming a ‘unic’, or ‘eunuch’ after using one. Probably.), is that the Unica is actually disguised as exercise equipment.
Designed in-house by a team of Ferrari designers, it’s coated in the same shade of red as the famous cars, with the exact same beige leather trim as well. Unlike the cars however, the Unica offers over 25…
Artificial Intelligence meets remote-control cars and lasers. Fun-and-a-half
Watch out, for these are not your every day remote control mini cars. For one, they're fitted with infrared laser technology, and for the other, they're not only remote controlled, but can be switched into Artificial Intelligence mode. These…
