Aston Martin eyes Lagonda comeback

The last time we saw an Aston Martin Lagonda on the street, it looked like its sharp angles could deflect not only police radar and laser, but give pedestrians a paper cut if they weren't careful. And the last time we saw a Lagonda concept -- at the 2009 Geneva motor show -- it looked like, well, like what you see above. We're still not sure what we see above, and leading scientists aren't sure, either.

Biker attempts to beat London marathon record... in traffic

AS BRITISH favourite Mo Farah prepares to challenge the British record at the London Marathon this weekend, an enterprising biker has decided to try it himself – in the thick of London traffic. On closed roads a man vs machine race would be a bit one-sided, but with the average speed of a fast marathon runner being 12.43mph and the average speed of a motorbike in London traffic being 12.5mph, the result turned out not to be so clear-cut – the biker missing out on the record by a full five minutes. Using the same BMW F800GS Adventure as is loaned to the marathon organisers, Michael Mann of online community Bike Social followed the route as closely as possible, albeit with a few extra loops where the runners will take advantage of closed one-way streets.

Jaguar XF Black Pack (2010) first pictures

The Black Pack option on the Jaguar XKR is proving popular - nearly half of buyers are currently ordering it and the Speed pack - so Jag's rolling it out to the XF range as well. It's similar to what's offered on the XK sports car. The XF Black Pack brings dark grey 20-inch alloys, diamond-turned rims, gloss black grille and window surrounds. The purely cosmetic Black Pack kit will set you back £950 and is available on the XF diesel, 5.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol V8 and XFR models.
