New 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet revealed ahead of Frankfurt

The new 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet (pictured) arrives in the UK next spring. The new Audi A3 Cabriolet has been revealed, and it’s bigger, lighter and better looking than before.

Weather creates travel misery

BRITAIN’S bleak midwinter continued today with strong winds, floods and fallen trees causing chaos to travellers trying to get away for Christmas. On the roads, many major routes were flooded or blocked by fallen trees, with Kent, Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Cornwall among the affected counties. In Dorset fire crews had to rescue 25 people trapped in their cars by flood water, while as many as 100,000 homes across the country were left without power.
