Transport recovering after storm

ROAD NETWORKS are slowly getting back to normal after a day of commuter chaos caused by the hurricane-force winds that whipped across the country.

Many roads were impassable due to fallen trees and high winds, with major routes beset by long delays.

Subaru WRX to return to the UK in 2014?

Making its European debut at the 2013 Frankfurt motor show in September is the aggressive-looking Subaru WRX concept. First shown at the New York motor show earlier in 2013, the low-slung four-door breathed life back into the idea of future hot Imprezas, but UK enthusiasts were set to miss out. Spy shots of bewinged test mules at the Nurburgring have appeared, but Subaru confirmed it had no plans to replace the outgoing WRX STI once stock ran out.
