Chris Evans' Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider
The Ginger, bespectacled broadcaster that is Chris Evans has returned to the public conscientiousness in a big way in recent years. Once the ‘Enfant Terrible’ of radio and television, he made a fortune buying and selling Virgin radio and then went off on a years long sabbatical with child bride Billie Piper. But an effervescent talent like Evans’ was never going to be satisfied with just being a sybarite, and the public have welcomed the return of a more grown-up Evans in recent years to the job he does better than almost anyone.
The Mini Spiritual Concept from the Rover years
I guess you need to be old enough to remember the Morris Mini Minor to make any sense of the headline. When the Mini was launched in 1959 you could have it in two versions – the Morris Mini Minor or the Austin Seven. Which was not at all unusual in the old days of BMC/BL/British Leyland.
Mazda Motor Corp. chairman Takashi Yamanouchi opened the company's new small-car assembly plant in Mexico today, calling it the company's "most important global strategic base."
The factory, which will produce up to 230,000 vehicles each year, is a cornerstone of the structural reform plan "upon which the very future of company hinges," Yamanouchi said in remarks prepared for the opening ceremony. "Mazda's Structural Reform Plan, upon which the very future of the company hinges, positions this plant as our most important global strategic base," Yamanouchi said of the factory, which is about three hours northwest of Mexico City in Guanajuato State.
