Speeding back to motoring's Golden Era at Goodwood Revival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Those who witnessed the scene – as I did – speak of it with awe. And thankfully there remains grainy footage of the legendary feat to prove it really happened (if you look on YouTube). I speak of the Duke of Richmond’s very first Goodwood Revival in September 1998 when a spectacular piece of derring-do set the tone for nearly three decades of West Sussex fun to follow, as former RAF fighter pilot Ray Hanna opened proceedings with an extremely low pass down the race track in his Spitfire.

New Aston Martin Valen: Mad Max's powerful £2million off-duty supercar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If Mad Max were looking for a powerful off-duty supercar in which to enjoy his leisure time, then Aston Martin has just unleashed a thrilling new £2million contender.

After three decades as motoring editor of the Daily Mail, I am about to change lanes. This is my final column. As officially the longest serving motoring editor in the Mail’s 130-year history, my 31-year stint in the driving seat has been a real privilege – and it has been pleasing to pick up a few major awards along the way, too. What a great perspective those years have given me, as the war on the motorist continues to intensify. Chinese cars start to dominate our roads, and ministers seek thr
