Top Gear: Rowan Atkinson, Jaguar XKR-S & Caravan Trains

Rowan Atkinson is on Top Gear - without his McLaren F1 (above) This weekend’s edition of Top Gear is the usual mix of daftness and octane, but the big news – after making overtures since the start of new Top Gear to make it happen – is the appearance of Rowan Atkinson as a Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. Rowan is not just a major petrolhead, but majorly publicity shy. Which you would think is an oxymoron for a professional entertainer, but it seems Rowan is much more comfortable occupying the skin of a character he’s created than his own, particularly in public.

Audi Q5, Skoda Yeti, & Abarth 500 are the UK’s lowest depreciating cars

Audi Q5 - the UK's least depreciating car The key to low-cost motoring has more to do with depreciation than running costs, so pick an Audi Q5, Skoda Yeti or Abarth 500. The difference in residual values of cars after three years can have a huge impact on motoring costs. A £15k car that has strong residual values – like the Audi Q5, Skoda Yeti and Abarth 500, identified as the UK’s lowest depreciating cars by CAP (and published by Auto express) – could be worth as much as £10k after 3 years and 30,000 miles.

Secret supercar meet – in pictures

Supercar Driver – or SCD as it’s known – is an exclusive supercar owners club. You can’t drive any old banger to join this group: it’s got to be a bona fide supercar or it’s back off to the Impreza forums with you. Anyway, once a year SCD holds a ‘secret meet’, an opportunity for members to get together and enjoy the fruits of their labours in the company of similarly endowed enthusiasts.
