Mercedes SLS AMG – Dancing on the ceiling

The Mercedes SLS AMG can 'Dance on the Ceiling' Every car maker wanting to boast about the ground-effect prowess of their cars will claim they could – in the right circumstances – drive upside down on the roof of a tunnel. But to the best of our knowledge it’s never actually been done. Clarkson had a bash in a Twingo in Belfast in the last series of Top Gear, and every F1 team will claim their cars can manage it.

Classic Ferrari becomes most expensive car ever sold in UK

This 1957 Ferrari 250 TR – or Testarossa – has just become the most expensive car ever sold in the UK outside of an auction. The exact figure paid is undisclosed, but is said to be in excess of the previous record-holder, a Ferrari 250 GTO that sold for £22.5 million in 2012. Yes folks, if you’ve got the cash, classic Ferraris are where it’s at in the investment world right now.

Goodwood Revival – with Mr Bean

Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean will feature at this year's Goodwood Revival But one big petrolhead – who is a Goodwood regular – is Rowan Atkinson, and Goodwood has persuaded him to recreate the Mr Bean sketch – for it is Rowan who is Mr Bean – driving a Mini whilst seated on the roof ,utilising a variety of household articles to control the Mini from a comfy armchair. I can’t confess to being a Mr Bean fan (although I adore Black Adder), but Mr Bean has made Rowan a very rich man, so I’m sure it will prove a big draw. Apart from his daily sketch recreation, Rowan will be driving a 1965 Austin Mini Cooper S in the St Mary’s Trophy saloon car race, which this year is all-Mini and recreates a Mini race that took place at Goodwood in the early sixties.
