Autocar - First for car news and reviews

During 38 years of driving have owned or run all sorts of things from Austin A40 (first car) through Triumph Herald, Austin Mini, several company owned Ford Sierras, Peugeot 307, Mazda MX5, Toyota Celica and now a Prius T-Spirit. Nothing very exciting really, but have driven various colleagues' Mercedes, BMWs, Jaguars and a mid-80s Rolls Royce (very disappointing) among others. Used to enjoy driving quickly and exploiting a car's handling but now quite like my comfort and a more relaxed style of driving.
