Graham Hill’s review of a new car is the special edition V8 Audi R8. They are building just 100 to celebrate Audi’s all too frequent win at Le Mans.

My car review of the week looked promising, I saw the Bentley badge and thought great, something special. They may drop in value like me after a few large glasses of nectar but hey it’s one of my fave cars. It’s even got round head and fog lights but with the little Christmas fairy lights in them like Audis. Just what you want in a supercar and when I say that Read more

I am very Mr Angry of Sussex. You see I get very frustrated when it comes to poor customer service, not helped by the fact that I’m the UK’s leading authority when it comes to vehicle finance so when I see a so called expert or an authoritative car magazine or national newspaper giving so called advice which is flawed I get bloody furious. Take a Read more

Nissan ad execs must have been chuckling to themselves when they came up with the theme for their sports cars, the 370Z and the GT-R. They decided to take on the Germans, poking fun at their acceleration speeds, pointing out that the Z was faster than Audi, BMW and Porsche rivals. The posters read ‘Deutschland Deutschland Uber Rated’ while a blurred Read more

Talk about left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing! VW has had some great deals towards the end of this year. Demand was great but they hadn’t realised that when they promote a car they should make sure that they can meet demand – sounds a bit logical to me. But no, that would be far too simple and obvious so now we have some very unhappy customers who are still not being told when they can expect to receive their Passat CC’s or Touareg’s even though they were originally told Read more

As if by some weird coincidence Lloyds TSB have carried out a survey amongst drivers asking if money was no object what would be your dream car? And would you believe it Brits would plump for an Aston Martin! More motorists aspire to own one of these quintessential English cars that still conjure up times when we led the world with our beautifully designed executive cars. Obviously following the same Read more

This week Graham Hill’s in depth car review focuses on the all new Audi A7. As a broker I absolutely hate Audi because they have the longest lead time of all the manufacturers. This means that if I agree a deal with a client today I will probably have to wait till 2011 before I’m likely to see the money I’ve earned – it’s a bloody disaster! But as a car the new Audi A7 looks simply stunning, both inside and out! It is a 4Dr Read more

It was over 2 years ago that I started to write articles claiming that the motor industry would be transformed by the creative use of video. In the US, where buyers can travel hundreds of miles just to view a used car, only to decide that they don’t like the wheels fitted or the colour of the interior, badly wasting our diminishing oil supplies, they came up with an ingenious way of taking videos of the car, as directed by the Read more
