I like to bring you hot news every week. You will recall my summary of the last budget. With notepad in hand I was watching Darling on TV but unfortunately I fell asleep leaving me nothing to report.

Are you a big Ferrari fan? If so I’ve found the perfect holiday for you. It’s Abu Dhabi. They have built a theme park dedicated completely to Ferrari. They have a rollercoaster modelled on the F430 with the cars literally cornering on rails at speeds of up to 125 miles per hour. It will be called Ferrari World and is completely under cover in an area equivalent to 4 times London’s Wembley Arena. It will open in the autumn Read more »

I raised the issue of digital radios many weeks ago but a few commentators are now starting to pick up on the fact that there has been a change in legislation which will follow the introduction and adoption of The Digital Economy Bill. Amongst other directives it rules that radios will be digital from 2015. Now correct me if I’m wrong but that’s only 5 years away. So knowing that this was going to be the case Read more »

We expect to see some changes in ownership of car manufacturers as we come out of recession, the latest of which is the increased ownership of Chrysler by Fiat. The deal will include Jeep and Dodge. Fiat took a 20% stake in ailing Chrysler last summer and have announced an increase in their stake to 35% if targets are met over the next 2 years. Chrysler registrations were down by 42.8% last year over 2008. Future Read more »
