Pebble Beach: A weekend of paradise for car guys

Just once before you die (or every year until you die, your choice), you have to go to Monterey for the Big Car Weekend. If you've never been, no words can suffice. If you have been, you don't need any words, and you've packed the Packard and are ready to hit the highway.

Supercar Sunday is a high-octane breakfast treat in Southern California

WITH VIDEO -- There's always something cool to see at Supercar Sunday, usually a few hundred cool things to see. "[It's] the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning," collector Bruce Meyer said, driving up in his '32 Ford. "Get out early, enjoy the morning, get back before the family knows you're gone." It's one of a handful of casual, early morning weekend shows in Southern California that are worth getting up for before breakfast.

Mercedes S 500 Plug-In Hybrid price & specs – costs from £87,965

The Mercedes S500 Plug-in Hybrid arrives in the UK It’s more than a year since the Mercedes S500 Plug-in Hybrid was revealed, and now it’s finally going on sale in the UK and, if your pockets are deep enough, it offers a perfect ‘cake and eat it’ car. Under the skin there’s a 3.0 litre V6 biturbo delivering 329bhp and an electric motor adding a further 116bhp which together give the S500 Plug-in the ability to blat to 62mph in just 5.2 seconds but return official economy of 100.9 mpg and emissions of a measly 65g/km. That combination means that you won’t have to pay Boris to drive through London, and your BIK rate will be a very modest 5 per cent, making the S500 plug-in Hybrid a perfect choice for every board member in the country currently paying 35 per cent on their petrol S500, BMW 7 Series or Audi A8.
