		<title>McLaren dashboard comes to RunKeeper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
RUNKEEPER seems to have now done it &#8211; installed live tracking so joggers can stream what McLaren F1 now streams!
On Sunday, I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon. The RunKeeper profile this generated at the end is staggeringly fascinating for running geeks like me. And those who like to see wiggly maps of F1 GP circuits [...]]]></description>

		<title>BMW drive back advice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
BMW is launching the new 5 Series this week &#8211; and, on Friday, I&#8217;m driving one of the Brit cars back to the UK.
It will be a 24-hour flurry from the South of France to the Middle of England. Plans are afoot to blog it, photograph it, film it and Tweet about it.
Question is&#8230; what [...]]]></description>

		<title>McLaren F1 dashboard on the cheap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
F1 cars round Silverstone are being replaced for one weekend, by a few thousand bats people.
Among the throngs will be yours truly: yep, I’m entering the Silverstone Half Marathon.
Inconvenient, this, in so many ways – such as, for example, the fact I will probably fall apart by the end of it. Chief inconvenience, though, is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Citroen DS3 Racing past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
WHY only 1000 Citroen DS3 Racings,  I asked the Citroen man at the Geneva Motor Show.
Surely you could make it a permanent addition to the range, underlining its MINI John Cooper Works-challenging status?
The reason why, he revealed, was a blast from the past. It’s a mainstream maker’s homologation special. Like the Ford Escort RS 1600i, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Save BBC 6Music and the Ford Zephyr</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
INSPIRATION comes in many forms. Today, for instance, down at the brilliant Goodwood Breakfast Club, a gorgeous Ford Zephyr was spotted. 
That’s Ford Zephyr of Z-Cars fame – and, even cooler than that, was the sticker in the back… advertising Radio Caroline!
Music Radio fans of the 60s were proper tenacious in support for the pirate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Renault Raider is back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
RENAULT PR guys are insatiable car nuts, whose geekery for all things 1980s matches mine.
That’s why we were both clamouring over the Gordini Renaultsports at the Geneva show, and why I almost bowed down to them when they revealed a gem to me.
Special wheels on the Gordini Twingo and Clio? Complete with deep blue tint [...]]]></description>

		<title>Richard Branson&#8217;s Virgin F1 (Teenage) Fanclub</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Virgin boss Richard Branson takes to the F1 grid for the first time this year with his own racing team.
But it’s not the first time ‘his’ cars have been ‘in’ F1.
This, as you may suspect, is slightly tenuous. But for Indie/F1/car geeks such as, well, me, it’s curiously neat. And goes like this:

		<title>Lexus shows GM’s Saab folly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
LEXUS will open the 5 doors of its all-new CT 200h next week at Geneva. 
This car is a masterstroke. It will take Lexus into the premium mainstream and give the brand instant sustainability. It will do what the A3 did for Audi, and ought to have Lexus car dealers in raptures.
Thing is, it’s so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ad 1 Car 0: Vauxhall Vectra</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
ADS for cars can be as great or as tragic as the cars themselves.
So, in the first of a decidedly ad-hoc series, I&#8217;ll dig out some YouTube links to some of the most striking. And, in James Alexander Gordon-style, score them.
The first? A win for marketing and a resounding defeat for engineers: the Vauxhall Vectra. [...]]]></description>

		<title>BBC 6Music must be saved</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
BBC 6Music is a resplendent beacon of absolute and unbridled brilliance. It rocks.

It is witty, erudite, intelligent, entertaining, pure, diverse, and plays music that would be on anyone’s Godlike playlist for eternity. It is a digital station the BBC should be proud of, which the Governors should be streaming to every naysayer in the country [...]]]></description>
