Audi’s new Q7 is diesel-only until next year
Big new SUV is properly in-your-face, but there’s a better option if you don’t need the seven seats…

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

I remember way back in the Drive TV/magazine days, we compared 1.4 Astra G against a Mk1 Ford Focus 1.4… and the Astra came out on top. Partially because it had 90hp to the Ford’s 75hp, but it was also big fun to drive.
