It started with a kiss...

It started with a kiss and ended with a crash... but not mine! The kiss was the "X" from the new Jaguar XK and the crash came courtesy of an over-reactive Aston Martin DBS, which pitched poor James Bond 007 into a massive barrel roll. What am I talking about? My year of course. "Tis the festive season with plenty of time to reminisce - and then look forward to what might be. But nothing could have been better than heading down to South Africa in January to try out Jag"s smooth new cat - which would, of course, go on to become Auto Express"s Car of the Year.



As with Jaguar"s latest...

As with Jaguar"s latest XK, the next TT has been developed as a coupé and convertible from the start - an approach that will be noticeable from the wheel. Rather than feeling like a hard-top that"s had its roof chopped off, the Roadster should have sports car handling, with minimal flex or shake. Engines will be the same as in the Coupé, but buyers can expect the drop-top to carry a premium of around ÷£2,000.

Should no proof be forthcoming...

Should no proof be forthcoming, the motors are disposed of, and

if they are destroyed, the scrapper also de-pollutes them. The metal is recycled and turned into anything from drinks cans to new cars. In a four-week blitz in London during 2006, cops seized 1,320 cars from three boroughs – Hackney, Haringey and Newham.

The tally included two Porsches – which were worth a total of ÷£150,000 – a BMW Z4 and a Hummer, while arrests for drug and robbery offences also followed. The vehicles were removed after surveillance by the Met using Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology. This reads vehicle registrations, which are compared against the Police National Computer. If a match occurs, officers will take the appropriate action.
