The Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool has issued a temporary EV ban from one of its car parks while they upgrade their sprinkler system. An EV driver who visited the hospital for his son’s appointment was turned away from the metal car park due to fire concerns.

How do you like your gears shifted ? Are you a DIY enthusiast, or do you prefer to delegate ratio-swapping duties to the genies hiding under your console? Despite what some manual diehards will tell you, there is no right or wrong answer to this question. So much of it comes down to what kind of driving you do and where and when you do it. Those lucky enough to spend their entire driving year on empty, twisty, rural roads in a BMW M2 are as likely to gravitate towards a manual transmission as th

This TVR T350 C 4.0 was built as a display model for the British Motor Show. Later used as a press car, it was equipped with a larger engine than the customer car. Now available at auction, estimates suggest that it could go for as much as $44,000. While there is no such thing as a TVR that isn’t rare, this T350 C is extremely special, having been commissioned by the automaker to serve as a show car for the British Motor Show in 2002.

Aston Martin is all out of excuses. From dire financial times, to an ageing range, to engines and interior technology borrowed from other brands, to a complicated plan for new models sucking development money, there’s always been something holding its new cars back – the brand admitted as much at the launch of the new Vantage.

So it seems Google is conceding that they have introduced some confusion with the forced switchover from legacy analytics to GA4. If you’re stumped by the new Google analytics, take some solace in that you are not alone, nearly everyone is.
