Drivers tend to have higher BMI says report

PEOPLE could lose up to half a stone if they did not drive to work and used public transport or actively commuted instead, research suggests. Experts have found that people who get the bus or train and those who walk or cycle into the office weigh less than those who get to work in private vehicles. The new study, published on thebmj.com, examined more than 15,000 commuters' body mass index (BMI) scores.

OFFICIAL: Spyker B6 Venator Spyder debut at Salon Prive – but you knew that

The Spyker B6 Venator Spyder (pictured) will get a UK debut at Salon Prive It’s amazing how much noise Victor Muller can make for his Spyker projects, even though we’ve seen nothing of real substance from Spyker since the Aileron. But we have seen the B6 Venator – even if it is entirely someone else’s car under the skin – and as we revealed back in July, the open-topped version of the Venator – the Spyker B6 Venator Spyder – got its first reveal at Pebble Beach earlier this month. The Venator Spyder is now heading for a proper public debt at Geneva, but as we exclusively reported back in June (well, we reported the whisper on the grapevine) Victor Muller is heading for a lobster and Champagne weekend at Salon Prive first to show the Venator Spyder.

McLaren P1 (2013) CAR's race-speed Goodwood ride
