r. Sean Bean is brilliant of course in Curfew as The General, but what we really enjoyed was the motors involved. An old Jaguar XJS, Volvo 240 and a Volkswagen Camper van to name just a few iconic old cars. It is a bit like they asked us what vehicles to include and took our list. Anyway, give it a go, you will enjoy it hugely.

Being a Car Mag and the best Free one at that, we spoke to the people who weren't just behind the Burning Men film, but more importantly, the owner of the Volvo Amazon which is the real star of the film. Hope you enjoy what we found out.

We say goodbye to John Haynes who has been a huge part of all our motoring lives. he was quite simply a genius. He also loved life and cars.

Shameful plug time. I've written a diet book. The Bangernomics Diet is all about running a car on a minimal budget and the PDF will only cost you a £1.49. (paperback £5.99) Bargain. I'm sure Sean Bean would agree.

SHAOLIN SÁNDOR LIU VS ELLIE CHRISTIE AND JAGUAR

This happened last year in the ice and snow and we rather overlooked it. A pity because the Jaguar XE 300 SPORT set a unique lap record. The special edition sports saloon became the first car to complete a flying lap of the world’s longest artificial outdoor ice circuit, at Flevonice in the Netherlands - but it had to beat a Winter Olympic gold medallist skater to set the fastest time. After anchoring Hungary to gold in the 5,000m relay at the 2018 Winter Olympics, speed skater Shaolin Sándor Liu set a tough benchmark, negotiating the track at Flevonice Sports and Funpark in 4 minutes 4 seconds.

Spotted out and about

ELLIE & SHAOLIN ON HER JAGUAR XE EXEPERIENCE

“I was desperate to pit myself against the XE 300 SPORT but sitting in the passenger seat gave me an experience I’ll never forget. I didn’t think it would be able to lap the track as quickly as an Olympic Champion, but the Jaguar’s all-wheel-drive traction was really impressive.”

Shaolin Sándor Liu, said: “I thought I would have a big advantage over the car on the ice and was pretty happy with my time considering the conditions but when I saw the XE 300 SPORT take off from the start line, I had a feeling it would be faster.” Watch the full race here: https://youtu.be/lFG2i1TMTDM 4 freecarmag.com

007 MISSION FOR JAGUAR LAND ROVER

Jaguar Land Rover has a mission with James Bond – a partnership at the state-of-the-art interactive experience, 007 ELEMENTS in Sölden, Austria.

Fittingly Jaguar Land Rover, whose cars have featured in Bond films since 1983, is an official partner to 007 ELEMENTS located at the top of the 3,050m Gaislachkogl peak. offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the world of the iconic secret agent in a new mountain-top location next to the ice Q restaurant used as the Hoffler Klinik in Spectre. Interactive displays featuring Jaguar Land Rover technical content along with the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover Sport SVR used for filming Spectre will form part of the experience.

WWW.007ELEMENTS.COM

Visitors will also see the latest Jaguar Land Rover technology, with the artificial intelligence systems and 90kWh lithium-ion battery from an electric Jaguar I-PACE performance SUV used to power a wireframe model of the C-X75 concept car that starred in a spectacular car chase through Rome in Spectre. Jaguar Land Rover vehicles have appeared in nine Bond films since Octopussy in 1983, when Roger Moore made a dramatic escape in a Range Rover Classic driven by Bianca (Tina Hudson). Mark Cameron, Jaguar Land Rover Experiential Marketing Director, said: “We have collaborated with EON Productions and Cable Car Companies Sölden to showcase our Bond vehicles and latest technologies.” freecarmag.com 5

IDRIS ELBA MAKES A FILM ABOUT CARS

In the film, Idris explores the characteristics of a car that make it a masterpiece and searches for an answer as to what gives a car its soul. The setting of the movie is highly significant, as it was shot inside the iconic Lingotto automobile factory in Turin. Idris’ experiences with a multitude of automotive communities while filming his No Limits and King of Speed series means he is the perfect advocate for the presenting the car as a cultural asset. In the new film for Grand Basel he presents four of the event’s exhibits that reflect the past, present and future. Idris himself takes to the rooftop in the new film, driving the remarkable 1978 Lancia Sibilo Bertone – a unique prototype with an unmistakable monolithic wedge design by Marcello Gandini.

Burning Men

BURNINGMENTHEMOVIE.COM

Amazonfire Young, struggling musicians Ray and Don are evicted from their South London squat.

They take to the road in their old Volvo Amazon, planning to sell their prized vinyl record collection and fly to Memphis USA. However, when they fail to get the money needed, they steal a rare Black Metal record which seems to unleash dark forces that threaten their mission. And because there is a Volvo in it we spoke to the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner Paul Shearsmith about what makes it so special and why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it painted?

Vauxhall is piloting a brand new Go Instore service that uses live video to bring the showroom experience to digital customers, via their computer, smartphone or tablet. The new service allows customers to receive live interactive demonstrations and ask questions to the retailer sales team from the comfort of their own home or on the move.

Not only that, the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camera is never accessed, so it is a one-way video communication channel, but two-way audio, offering the customer added security.

The video call sessions that take place between customers and the retailer are not recorded or saved and no personal information is taken, unless at the request of the customer during the call itself. Motorists traditionally made up to four visits to a dealership.

This has fallen to 1.5 visits to buy a new car, because of reliance on smartphones.

e tried all sorts of silly ways to get rid of the smell and ended up with a can of Valeo Climspray at £20.

Engine on, you set the air con to recirculate and apply maximum fan. With the can balanced in the upright position in the front of the cabin, it was simply a case of press the button and retire for 15 minutes.

After that you have to don a Hazmat suit and open all the doors, then leave them open for at least another fifteen. I might have exaggerated about the Hazmat element, but it seemed like enough of a chemical warfare procedure to work. Pong gone. We think. The Mrs. does have one of those fresh fragrance bottle things, which sits in a cubbyhole and acts as a back up.

It is winter at the moment, which deadens any aroma.
