Locke review: a road movie with a difference

Locke is a road movie with a difference – not to mention an enormous contrast to Need for Speed, which is the last heavy car content film I reviewed on MSN Cars.

Mini Cooper first pictures (2013) BMW’s new Mini goes back to the future

Mazda RX-8 – Just a few left

The Mazda RX-8 - fewer than 100 RHD cars left In an email that looked suspiciously like a warning from QVC that their latest pitched offering really is being gobbled up quickly, and you’ll have to pick up the phone NOW to secure their latest life-changing bit of tat, Mazda inform us that stocks of the Mazda RX-8 are down to the last knockings.

So although the RX-8 will continue for now in some parts of the world,  production in Hiroshima has ended for the UK and Europe.
