Buying an MX5 is great but enjoying it with other MX5 owners is simply spectacular. There’s plenty of MX5 owners clubs in the UK and Ireland but in this article, I’ll share my experience of MX5 NI and hopefully inspire some of you to get out there and drive with some friends! The cars The most immediate thing that you’ll notice when pulling up to an event is the sheer variety on show. Anything and everything from a bone stock NC MX5 to a bagged 300hp+ turbo NB. Every car has its own unique style and it’s a great way to generate ideas for potential modifications for your own car in the future.   I almost always see a set of wheels on an NB MX5 that I previously wasn’t aware of but look amazing. The great thing about this is that you can look at the wheel specs of that car and hopefully get a set for yourself that looks just as perfect. Then there’s the simple modifications like actual working cupholders instead of the MX5’s mediocre stock ones.   On top of that, you get to see ...

Hello everyone, welcome back to AutoAnorak. Today is one for the Bond fans! Let’s get straight into an in depth look at the star cars of the latest James Bond movie, No Time To Die! Maserati Quattroporte (4 th generation) – First up is the Maserati Quattroporte. This was the 1994 first gen variant and a car that Jeremy Clarkson absolutely hated.

These were proper English muscle cars in their era and produced in and around 400hp. That was more than the new V8 Vantage ...

Today we’re counting down literally every single Lamborghini car ever made! Production cars, concept cars, coach built cars and race cars. There’s plenty of content online about every Lamborghini but I can guarantee you that none of the articles or videos you have watched will include quite as many of the brand's automobiles. Today we're starting with Lamborghini's production cars. Lamborghini 350GT - This was Lamborghini’s first production car and of course it was called the 350GT to one up Ferrari’s 250 series cars at the time. For this they stole one of Ferrari’s engineers called Bizarrini who built the bizarrini v12. A 270hp V12 that laughed in the face of Ferrari’s V12s at the time. Iterations of the engine remained in Lambos up until the Murcielago SV in 2009.  Lamborghini 400GT - Following the 350GT’s success, Lambo upped their quad cam V12’s horsepower figure to 320hp and eaked out more interior space to produce a car with just a little more spice than the 350.
