Roadtripping

4 Comments
From 1986 to 1990 there was, believe it or not, a Grand Prix held in Birmingham city centre. Called the Birmingham SuperPrix, it was an anti-clockwise street circuit race for F3000 cars. It was a strange affair, really, far from the glamour of other street...

Steve Swanson
Articles, Roadtripping
This is the new 2020 Suzuki Swift Sport- Hybrid. It’s like the 2019 Sport except now it’s a bit slower and a bit heavier, and has a load of gadgets. Then there’s the price- we’ll talk about that later. A few BHP have been lost (Now 127) and a second...
