Off the beaten track.
Kim Palmer is Public Relations Manager for Land Rover in the UK & on Saturday at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed we sat down with him in the impressive surroundings of Jaguar Land Rover's expansive stand to shoot the breeze about all things Landie.
Amongst other things, we asked him about new additions to the Land Rover stable as well as the impending putting out to pasture of an old faithful warhorse..

Honda - Playful is back.
Leon Brannan rejoices in the wonderful title of 'Head of Car' for Honda UK and he gave us an insight into Honda's plans for the short to mid-term both in the UK and further afield.
Leon used the term 'playful' to describe Honda's approach and nowhere was this more evident than in the theme of their stand at this years' Festival of Speed which resembled an oversized, boxfresh toy car collection, authentic even down to the labelling and cellophane windows.
Listen to him telling Will Chambers about Honda's resurgence in the UK, their re-engagement with Formula 1 and how they believe that the future for car fuelling will involve nothing more nasty coming out of the tailpipe than good old h2o here

Faster than a speeding bullet..
Ian King is the brave/mad - delete as appropriate - chap who regularly drapes himself across dragster bikes capable of launching him at the horizon faster than anything short of something weapons-related.
Not only is he a five time European Top Fuel Bike Champion, he also manufactures the engines used by pretty much any of the Top Fuel community worldwide - a fact which means that even if he personally is having an off day, somewhere in the world, one of his engines will most likely be flying the flag for the King concern.
He spoke to UKMotorTalk's Will Chambers at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed about how he started out building bikes in his youth, how his bike is powered by explosives, and what it's like to regularly terrify small children every time he winds open the throttle on his astonishingly-loud company transport..
