Ben was on the road early this month and his first stop was Moor Park. Based just outside Watford, the golf course boasts an amazing club house (pictured).

Moor Park played host to a 36 hole event which Ben took part in over two days. Ben teed off on a sunny morning at 11.10am, with a little bit of wind to make it interesting. Bogeys at the 4th and 8th hole saw Ben out in 38 shots, failing to c...

The Vauxhall Mokka is “this year’s must have SUV” according to the Mail on Sunday’s James Martin.

“Looks-wise, I’d compare it to my mate’s baby, who has a fat head, fat body and fat feet but still looks cute. It’s tall and rides high, with big wheels on a small wheelbase, so there’s a Tonka toy charm complemented by oversized headlamps and rugged plastic bits.
“There’s an awful lot of leg roo...

Vauxhall has taken a “more committed line” with its Cascada, rejecting the “standard procedure” of taking a mid-size hatch and slicing it in half, says Top Gear.

“The new Cascada shares not one exterior panel with any other Vauxhall. It’s wider than an Insignia, though a little shorter in the wheelbase in search of better proportions. A surprising amount of the interior is different, too.
“It...

“The VXR8 uses a previous-gen Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine to lug along the biggest loadspace in its class.” That power is sent to the rear wheels via a “six-speed manual or six-speed automatic”, with both options offering limited-slip differential for “easy tail-out antics”.
“The V...

“Vauxhall has been injecting a serious dose of styling into its cars,” says the Sun’s Ken Gibson. “It all started with the Insignia, followed by the Astra, Zafira and more recently the funky ADAM and Mokka. But the Vauxhall that’s set to turn heads is the Cascada, a four-seat convertible that looks as toned as Jess Ennis in Lycra. Like Jess, the Cascada has a wellsculpted, muscular body.”

A strange question to ask, you might think. Though last week Toyota were asked just that and aimed to find out the answer.

The project began when Aygo fan David NcNaily challenged Toyota over Twitter to fill the car with bananas and they felt they could not turn such a creative opportunity down. Project #Aygobananas was launched.

The project took place in Covent Garden as the team of five w...

The brand new advert for the Toyota Yaris Trend arrived on our UK TV screens this week.

The commercial features the well known animated street furniture, which featured first in the Yaris Hybrid 'Silence the City' advert in 2012.

The Yaris Trend sets itself apart from others in the range by focusing on design. Its blacked out C pillar creates a 'floating roof' effect, wh...
