The Frankfurt motor show 2009 review, by Ben Oliver

By Ben Oliver Motor Shows 16 September 2009 00:01 Taking the metro to the Frankfurt motor show, I was surrounded by men whose grey suits, lapel badges and reading matter made it obvious they were car company execs heading the same way.

But Frankfurt, like every other motor show, finds itself in reduced circumstances this year.  The Paris and Frankurt shows alternate, and the comparison with Paris this time last year is instructive.

Ferrari SA APERTA at Paris. Is Chris Evans buying?

The Ferrari SA APERTA unveiled in Paris Ferrari let us have info on the 599 Roadster which is the Ferrari SA APERTA last week, and today the very limited edition Ferrari has been rolled out to an appreciative audience at the Paris Motor Show. The Ferrari SA APERTA has been built to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Pininfarina, and the SA stands for Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina (the APERTA bit simply means ‘Open’). And the APERTA is very much the Roadster, paying only lip-service to any notion of enclosing the cabin.

When I hear people use the words "senseless" or "tragic" to qualify death, the grammarian in me shudders.

Of course, the majority of deaths are senseless and tragic, so to qualify it darkens the lily.
