Art Center Car Classic features the world's great automobiles

It seems like we say this every year, but this year it's truly fitting: this was the best Art Center Car Classic ever. Consider that the show covered both ends of the Corvette spectrum, from Peter Brock and the rise of the original “Mitchell Corvette” -- which was right there parked on the grass -- to General Motors designer Pete Thomas and the new C7 parked not far away, with the Mako Shark and the '63 split-window Sting Ray lined up between.

Ed Balls faces driving ban

Mr Balls's office has said he will be responding in writing and will not contest the charge.

So it seems natural that the Japanese car maker has saved up a special treat for its domestic show this October.
