Alan was at the UK launch of the facelifted 2017 Subaru BRZ and Levorg models. Neither model is a common sight on U.K. roads, but do they deserve to be more commonplace now they've both had some light revisions?

Another rally, yet more amazing driving, amazing scenery and amazing luck (both good and bad) for the teams. Neuville won by 0.7 of a second, from Evans. That’s two in a row for Neuville, but Evans was astonishingly quick until aero and mechanical issues pegged him back. Another astonishing spectacle for fans of motorsport.

This week Andrew is on his own, Alan was unable to find an internet. Luckily, you won't have to listen to him for long as there was minimal news this week. But, as seemingly there always is, #Dieselgate Follow Up was here to "help".

The Volkswagen Diesel Customer Forum (VDCF) has claimed that the fix for the EA189 diesel engine causes breakdowns, less mpg and less power. VW deny this. The chaps will keep an eye on how the story develops as much testing and use of lawyers will probably be the only way this is sorted. To read more click here.

About 53,000 Model S and X's have been "voluntarily recalled" by Tesla, due to a fault where the parking brake may stick in the engaged position. To read more click here.

New, income based speeding fines have come into effect. Depending on the zone and how much one is over the limit will dictate to severity of the fine. Andrew feels there should be a higher fine in urban areas, due to risk to pedestrians. To read more click here.
