If you don’t already know, Britain is planning to introduce a road charge scheme which will replace the current road tax scheme. A satellite will track how many miles you do and you’ll be charged accordingly.
Some bright spark has come up with a great little idea to scupper these plans with a £700 GBP illegal gadget that jams monitoring signals. It works in the same way that a Stealth Bomber can be undetected on radar and experts are showing concern about them.
Before you go and buy one, you can get up to 2 years inside for having one!
The alarming thing is that car thieves could also use the gadget to overcome anti-theft tracking systems, which activate when a vehicle is stolen.
The Department for Transport said its road-pricing scheme will be introduced only when ‘we can find technology that is robust against attack’.
The new third edition Porsche 911 Turbo cabriolet will shortly be hitting the streets. As an avid Porsche fan I had to tell you all about it.
With a top speed of 193mph it puts it at one of the fastest road cars around. For all you motor geeks it has a twin turbocharged, 3.6-litre flat-six develops 473bhp at 6,000rpm and 457lb ft of torque at just 1,850rpm. It also has a six-speed manual gearbox equating to 0-62mph in four seconds, but if you opt for the £1,800 triptonic gearbox you can expect to shave 0.2 seconds off that!
Type in ‘Limmo Hire’ to Google and you’re swamped with choice… but there’s one car in particular that stands out. The H3 Hummer in pink.

If you’re a wealthy chav (basically a stoopid lottery winner) then this is for you to put in the Escort along with the UV lights. It’s the world’s most expensive gear knob, and at £75,000 GBP you just know it’s gonna contain some gems!
In fact, it’s handcrafted with 20 Karats of genuine diamonds and 10 ounces of 18-karat white gold.
Not an ounce of Burberry in sight I’m afraid Victoria Beckham!
