Car review: Classic Car Club

On the road: Infiniti M37 S

On the road: Infiniti M37 SWe have Forest Air in this one. Meaning the speed of the airconditioning fans fluctuates, creating a light wind in the car similar to a natural breeze passing through trees. The aroma changes, too, alternating approximately every hour between Leaf and Fragrant Wood.

Flying cars finally lift off

Flying cars finally lift offThose of us waiting patiently for the era of flying cars have been stung before. Usually by some delusional old tinkerer appearing on Tomorrow's World or Blue Peter, tantalisingly showing off some hovering hatchback or Cortina-with-wings and promising it'll be an everyday form of transport – soon. It never happens. As the characters in Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comic strip complained way back in 1989: "A new decade is coming up. Big deal! Where are the flying cars?"
