Editors Notes:
Hello Readers! We have another exciting issue for you to enjoy and find the car of your dreams from one of our many reputable car dealers. Whether its a cheap runaround or top of the range luxury car, you can find everything within these pages. Our features this month include the latest and flashiest sports cars and concepts over in the USA at the Detriot Motor Show and in the UK at the Autosport International Show, both held in January. Jill Carter, our wonderful contributor takes a look at some Spanish racing circuits and what they offer to the visitor. They are all reachable within the day and a stay overnight gives a fun mini break to the motorracing lover. We look at the first ever BMW produced back in the 20’s and then go right up to date with a glimpse at McLaren’s London store. It’s all things ‘Rush’ again as the film is now available to buy on DVD, so we thought it fitting to have James Hunt as our F1 legend this month. The Motorbike Riders Spain detail what they can offer to the would-be bikers amongst you (yes that includes MandyMag). With all the best autoservices, anything you need for or to do to your car, its all inside! Happy motoring! Professor

Several companies chose last month’s Autosport International Show to launch their low-production sports cars. Here’s our favourites.
The Bolt by Keating Bold claims precede the Bolt: 0-60mph in 2 seconds, top speed of 340mph... That's according to the calculations. The makers fully expect it to shatter the world speed record for production cars, which is currently held by a Bugatti Veyron at 268mph. Made and designed in the UK, the car is expected to go on sale later this year at a cost of £750,000 yes.. three quarters of a million pounds. Caterham AeroSeven Concept That’s the same price as three Ferrari 458 Italia's! We will wait to see if it lives up to the hype. The new Caterham has been developed in conjunction E10 by Zenos Cars Zenos Cars is run by former with the Caterham F1 team Caterham Cars CEO Ansar Ali. He and has an all carbon fibre launched the E10 sports car, the body, so it is very light and The engine is first in a range of three. The E10 strong. has a 2.0 litre, four cylinder expected to generate 400hp engine and will have a 0-60mph and give a 0-60 time of time of around 4.5 seconds. It's under 4 seconds. Due for on sale now for £24,995 or sale in the autumn, but no £28,995 if you want the special word on price yet. Launch Edition.

This is the BMW 3/15, BMW's first car. In 1927 it started life as a "Dixi" but in the October of 1928 BMW acquired the Dixi business and went on to produce three subsequent versions, all of which were badged as BMW’s from July 1929 till March 1932. BMW then gave up the licence to the company which produced Austin designed cars. 9,307 Dixi 3/15s were manufactured between 1928 and 1929; this was almost as many cars as all the earlier Dixi models put together. 18,976 BMW 3/15s were manufactured between 1929 and 1932.

T-Cut Reaches its Diamond Anniversary. British brand T-Cut is celebrating it's 60th anniversary this year and in true keeping with the bling times we live in, it has commissioned a sparkling £50,000 Swarovski Crystal-encrusted T-Cut tin. It took 75 hours to piece together and has 26,000 diamonds. It’s going to tour the country visiting some of the best known automotive car retailers before going on permanent display at the Bury headquarters of T-Cut's parent company, the Tetrosyl Group. For 60 years Tetrosyl has remained a British, privately-owned company, manufacturing T-Cut and other leading car care brands with 1,500 employees. A full program of celebrations will mark the brand's diamond anniversary throughout 2014, including a nationwide campaign to find the car that most deserves some T-Cut TLC.
David Brown Automotive. A new British luxury sports car brand is set to launch in April with the unveiling of an all-new car, which the company is promising will "refresh the classic British sports car, for the 21st Century." British businessman and car enthusiast David Brown has started the new company, David Brown Automotive, in order to deliver his vision for the future of the British sports car, enlisting the help of ex-Land Rover design chief Alan Mobberley in designing the new model. The car, which is codenamed 'Project Judi', the company promise a "completely original" interior and exterior design with "the latest in performance, dynamics, technology, comfort and refinement."
Unexpired Tax Discs. Following on from our news last month that paper tax discs are to be axed in favour of an electronic register, now we understand that the traditional incentive to UK secondhand car-buyers; a valid, unexpired tax disc with months still to run, is also to be axed under a government shake-up. From October 1, owners selling their vehicles privately will be unable to offer this, instead, the seller will have to claim back a refund from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). Then the new owner must re-tax the vehicle from scratch. Only

Spanish Motor Race Circuits For a Short Break with a Difference by Jill Carter A varied selection of motorsport can be enjoyed at these circuits from F1 to truck racing. I have chosen these three examples as being within a day's travel of the Costa Blanca (South) but there are many more to discover. Just let your fingers do the walking online!
Jerez (Andalucía)
This track has hosted motor racing events since 1986. During the off season it is used by numerous motor racing and motorcycle teams to prepare for the following season’s racing. Thus offering fans a chance to enjoy racing all year round. The circuit also provides the option of exploring its facilities through guided visits. These tours include access to the boxes, the podium and the press room, among other areas normally reserved only for the professionals. It also has a permanent exhibition on motor racing, featuring numerous pieces belonging to big names in the sport. Other activities can be viewed on their web site. The track is well positioned for exploring the historic town of Seville as well as tasting the world famous sherry.
Barcelona (Catalunya)
Formula 1 in Barcelona
This circuit is about 30 Km from Barcelona City and is the home of the Spanish Grand Prix. There are many opportunities to engage in different activities and an up to date schedule is available on their web site.
Jarama (North of Madrid)
Jarama is in use most of the year and therefore it is essential to check their calendar before planning a trip. All sorts of motorbike, car, truck and vintage cars are on offer here alongside trackdays. Jarama Jarama Circuit
MotoGP at Jerez
Truck Racing at Jarama Historic Cars at Jerez All of these circuits have web pages that can be translated into a number of languages so it should be possible to find something to add a sparkle to your short break. Hotels and hostels can be found for all these destinations though a car is essential to get the most out of your stay.

Season News 2014 F1 Rule Changes 2014 - Part 2 Last month we showed you the main rule changes with the cars. Here we look at some of the other changes for 2014. 1. Double Points for Final Race: Double points will be awarded at the final race of the season. FIA say it is "to maximise focus on the championship until the end of the campaign". The points count towards the drivers' and constructors' championships and it will reduce the possibility of a championship being settled before the final race by increasing the number of points available to a driver from 25 to 50. Two of the last four seasons have been settled with a number of races still remaining, Sebastian Vettel won with five races to go in 2011 and with four left in 2013. If the new system had been in place 10 years ago, two world titles would have been won by a driver other than that year's eventual world champion. In 2012, Fernando Alonso would have beaten Sebastian Vettel, and in 2008, Felipe Massa would have taken the crown instead of Lewis Hamilton. It’s been a hot topic among our family and friends, with some thinking it’s a terrible idea, while others saying it will give an great extra twist. Let’s see how it pans out this season. 2. Race Numbers Chosen: Drivers will choose a race number for the duration of their career. This will help them exploit merchandising potential and make more money. Number one will still be reserved for the current world champion, if he chooses to use it. 3. Five-Second Penalty: There is a new five-second penalty for minor infringements. A good rule addition since many a time someone has had a pit-lane drive through for a small issue and it seems unfair since the time lost doesn’t justify the crime. New Cars Formula 1 teams have begun the build-up to the 2014 season by unveiling their new cars ahead of the first race in Australia on 16 March. McLaren were the first to launch their new car, the MP4-29 alongside the news that Ron Dennis has taken charge of McLaren’s Formula One team once more, replacing Martin Whitmarsh as Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Group. The next stage of the build-up is pre-season testing, which starts at Jerez in Spain around now, before moving on to Sakhir in Bahrain later this month.

Michael Schumacher We were upset to hear the news of Michael Schumacher’s skiing accident over Christmas. He has been in a coma since and, at the time of going to print, doctors had no plans to wake him. The seventimes world champion has been in an artificially-induced coma after he suffered brain injuries in a French Alps skiing crash. His wife and teenage children remain at his bedside hoping for the miracle that we all hope for with them. All the best Michael for a full recovery. F1 Driver Profile James Hunt
James Hunt was born in 1947 in Surrey, England. Around his 18th birthday, he watched his friend compete in a motor race and was instantly hooked. He started his career in racing minis, then Formula Ford and onto Formula Three. By 1973, he joined the Hesketh team, initially in Formula Two, but Lord Hesketh announced that they "might as well fail in F1 as in F2, as it wasn't significantly more expensive". His first year in F1, saw him take a second in the US Grand Prix. In 1975 James Hunt took his first F1 win the Dutch Grand Prix and finished fourth in the Championship. Lord Hesketh had run out of funds and left F1, leaving James looking for a seat. Emerson Fittipaldi left McLaren to join his brother's team and McLaren signed James. 1976 was James Hunt's best year; the season proved to be one of the most dramatic and controversial on record. The recent programme on the BBC and film ´Rush´ have highlighted this season which included Niki Lauda's near-fatal crash at the Nürburgring and return to fight for the title. It was James who went on to win the championship by a single point. The following two years weren't as successful and he left McLaren in 1979 to move to Walter Wolf Racing team, (after turning down Ferrari) who were initially good but didn't deliver and Ferrari won the title. He retired at the end of the season and went on to have a successful second career as a commentator alongside Murray Walker on the BBC2 Formula One Grand Prix programme. He was there for thirteen years until his death from a heart attack aged just 45. The facts are nothing out of the ordinary, World Champion once, ten wins from 93 Grand Prix with three teams over 7 years. But it's not the statistics that are of interest, it is the man himself; the myth, the rebellion, living life in the fast lane and the glamour that continues to fascinate us. He lived and played outside the rules of what is considered to be the acceptable persona of a champion sportsman. We can't imagine anyone in F1 now behaving like that. He was like the David Beckham of his day, handsome, with blond hair and a chiseled face, rich and world famous. But he also had a bit of rock star in him, indulging in copious amounts of booze, drugs and women. While researching this article, it was hard to find a photo of him without a cigarette or a woman!

McLaren Police Car UK police have got a new McLaren MP4-12C Spider for use as a police patrol vehicle. Officers from the Central Motorway Group in the Midlands hope it will help in high-speed chases where civilians have vehicles that can outrun a normal police car. The McLaren produces six times the power of a standard Ford Fiesta police car and can reach 100kmph in 3 seconds.
McLaren Store, London While in London over Christmas, we couldn't resist a peep at McLaren’s store (address 100 Knightsbridge), which was opened in June 2011 by the (then) drivers, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. A member of staff opened the doors for us mere mortals to have a look at the gleaming cars on display and make a wish to Santa.. Back in September, the store was involved with McLaren's private screening of the Ron Howard film `Rush´. Guests enjoyed an afternoon tea at The Serpentine Suite at One Hyde Park before being collected by a specially commissioned Routemaster double decker bus flanked by 12C's. They were taken through London and to the iconic Millbank tower where the private screening was hosted. The guests were also treated to an exlusive question and answer session with Chris Goodwin, and James Hunt's son and brother.

January Ace Café
eliz Año Nuevo’, ‘Happy New Year’ and their festive equivalents in a variety of languages were the most heard phrases amongst the couple of hundred people who attended January’s meeting. The sunshine brought out over 90 cars and as usual some appearing for the first time. It was an eclectic collection from the tiny Seat 600 to the mighty 5 litres of American Muscle. A little black Singer with an unusual set of wide wheels and more than a hint of menace from under the bonnet drew it`s own crowd with cameras clicking continuously. Phoenix Car Club

There our destination was the Cuevas de Canelobre where we all had a private tour with a very humorous tour guide. We climbed up and down the 240 steps and made lots of pictures, seeing constellations like Bart Simpson sitting on the bulk, a wolf and a candelabra of course! All in all a fun day! Mod Cruiserz Club Torrevieja meet on the first Wednesday of the month at 19:30 in the Cafeteria Marina Club in the International Marina. President Ron Blackwell 966 791 212.

Ride 10: Monteaguido Could have been 14. Maybe 15? Possibly even 12!! But there was DEFINITELY NOT 13 bikes!! First we went to Intruder as Badger appeared out of thin air!? Valleys accent: "Now then! What's occurring eh?" It was like a welsh Harry Potter ('Sheepwarts'? Jonesthewizard? LOL!). Stranger yet, Rob was seen actually buying some new gloves!! He's been ifing and ahhing whether to buy these since he first saw them. About 12 MONTHS AGO?!!!!! Mind, he's been on about 'having to change' the Harley for almost 2 years now!! Never let it be said he's too impulsive eh? LOL!! A few other purchases were made and then it was off up to the monument at Monteaguido. Rob only forgot where we were going for a couple of minutes! DOH!! Bless him. Back on track, we parked on the hard standing at the base of the 'hill' and some of our more 'intrepid' chaps and chappesses made the pilgrimage up the track/steps to Murcia's answer to Rio de Janeiro! It is impressive and well worth seeing but some (Rob, H and I) had seen it before. After refreshments, we followed the RM423 past Fortuna before hanging a right onto the RMA21. This small back road takes you into Mahoya and although a little bumpy, if you stick to speeds under 80 KPH (YES! A Harley WILL do that speed. Just! LOL!) it's a pretty little alternative to the RM423/RM412. In truth, the latter is no less 'undulating' itself!! Mahoya, Abanilla and then across the frontier from Murcia into Valencia as the RM413 magically changed into the CV870 (simultaneously becoming noticeably smoother and better maintained!) and led us into La Murada. We went along the CV871 to pick up the CV900/CV911: Cox, Callosa and Rafal (thus avoiding the ongoing roadworks in Orihuela city!). A final stop was made in Jacarilla before heading home. Thanks to everyone for another great day. Especially Rob, I really don't know how you do it week after week, such lovely roads, you are awesome you really are ... Errr.. AHEM! Sorry. I got a bit carried away there for a moment! LOL!! Stay safe, and remember "Wherever you go, there you are!" El Guiri

Pope to Auction His Harley

Last June in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis blessed a gathering of 800 motorcycles as part of HarleyDavidsons 110th Anniversary celebrations. HD presented the Pope with a motorcycle jacket and a pair of its motorcycles. This month in Paris, one of these bikes, a 2013 FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom 110th Anniversary Edition, will be auctioned off to benefit the charity Caritas’ Don Luigi di Liegro hostel and soup kitchen at Rome’s Temini railway station. The bike comes with the Pope's signature on the petrol tank, along with a Harley-Davidson Certificate of Conformity and a Papal Certificate signed by the Pope’s personal secretary, Monsignor Alfred Xuereb. You're wondering now aren't you? Did he ride it or didn't he? The official line is that ‘there is no evidence he did’..
