Taking the bat back home

I see it is 50 years since BMW launched the 3.0 CSL, an event now commemorated by the creation of the M4 CSL and, for me, stirring memories of a task...

Signing off the Supersport

The brief for the new Morgan Supersport was as tough as it gets: to compete with the Porsche 911. So Morgan asked Steve Sutcliffe to come and mark its homework

We’re delighted to announce a special event for Ti subscribers, in association with Bicester Motion and JBR Capital. Prepare yourself for a balmy summer evening car meet, running 5-8pm on Thursday 6 August at Bicester Motion.

The centrepiece of the event will be the inaugural Ti Concours d’Appréciation. Say it out loud and you’ll get a sense for what we’re going for. The theme is A motoring life well lived, and we’ll be looking for enthusiast cars that have been used and enjoyed as intended. The judges (that’s us) will be looking for great stories, war wounds and high miles – and prizes will be awarded to the cars that best embody the spirit of the occasion. If that isn’t your car, you are of course very welcome to join us for the evening anyway.

Ti contributors will also be present in force, having brought a selection of their own favourite vehicles to display. Food, drink and ice cream will be available on site.

The hire car

We’ve all done it: hired an anonymous box, thrashed it, handed it back and never thought of it again. But just occasionally, they can leave a mark. By Andrew Frankel

Driving the GTAm

There are many things I can do for a minute. Hold my breath, brush my teeth (much to the chagrin of my dentist brother), run an eighth of a mile and go from a blank screen...

Tickets are £10 each, with total numbers strictly limited. Most of the tickets have been sold already, so promptness is recommended. We’ll be contacting ticket buyers directly with details of how to enter your vehicle into the entirely arbitrarily judged concours, should you be so interested.

Here’s the link to purchase tickets. If you are not yet registered with Bicester Motion, you will need to do so before purchase – select ‘Become a member’. It’s free and takes seconds.

We can’t wait to celebrate this passion we all share with our subscribers. Looking forward to seeing you there.

(Oh, and today’s review of the TWR Supercat will go live the moment the embargo lifts at 9am.)

Porsche 911 GT3 Touring review

It is not a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. It is a GT3 ‘with Touring package’ and while you may consider the difference purely semantic, I do not. A GT3 Touring suggests another...

Idle Hands: Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC32S)

If you need an automotive breath of fresh air, Suzuki’s sporting hatch could be the ideal route to fuss-free driving fun, says Lewis Kingston

Space invaders

Andrew Frankel is a naughty man. He recently whispered in my ear ‘C’mon, David. All these stories of designers and engineers working happily together is not what the...

War of Words: Nature or nurture?

Can you learn how to be a truly quick driver, or is it something you have to be born with? Steve Sutcliffe and Colin Goodwin argue it out

Porsche Taycan review

This is, of course, the Taycan for which we, the Porsche bores, have been waiting. We’re that tedious tribe who’ve been telling you for years why a base 911 Carrera is soooo...

Jo’s Diary: An uphill struggle

She’s feeling the need for speed, yet there are limits when you’ve only got 64bhp and gravity is against you. But Joana Fidalgo doesn’t regret a second of it
