Return of Datsun

Hang on! But isn’t Datsun now Nissan? Yes, but the Japanese company's maiden name is due to be back on the road…

Brown cars on the road

Tra la la la la. There were brown cars on the road...

BROWN cars were a common sight in the 1970s and the 1980s. But you don't really see any in that colour these days. Most brown cars were made over 30 years ago. So most of them will be scrapped, and surviving ones will be hidden and stored away in garages.

One week, I spotted two brown cars in the wild funnily enough. With a 1979 Leyland Mini in Blackburn. Which looks very similar to the one my father owned in his youth - yes he did have a brown Mini which was also his first car.

The popular supermini that bears the Griffon emblem is taken out for a spin...

Events: Ormskirk MotorFest 2012

Upcoming event for 2012 and sounds like a plan.

YOU may recall me on writing up plans for 2012. One of them was to try and go to more (if any) motoring events. Of which will be covered on Definitely Motoring. The Ormskirk MotorFest, is definitely one I intend to go to this year which takes place in August.

After seeing the coverage of last year's event on the motoring blog Life On Cars. Knowing on how successful it was and seeing the pictures of stunning cars shown and displayed at the show. The most notable one, was a Ferrari Enzo that was formerly owned by Rod Stewart. Not only that, the races and rallies that took place.

Another reason for going to the Ormskirk MotorFest is not based solely on its success. It's also in Lancashire - well the other side of it from where I am. So it's not too far travelling there as I happen to reside in the Red Rose county. 

The Ormskirk MotorFest will take place at the end of the Summer on Sunday 28th August - mark that date on your calendar by the way! Let's just say that I'm looking forward to it. It should be a great day out. Excited? You bet I am!

GTi'm back for Peugeot?

Could the new 208 GTi be the spiritual successor that's been long awaited for the legendary 205 GTi? Should we be excited? Or should we be cynical?
