Ferrari FF



This is way too exciting. Not content with making some of the best supercars in the world ever, Ferrari are branching out into GT sports cars. Or at least, they've released a new concept car, the FF, which will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. It stands for 'Ferrari Four', because it has four seats and four-wheel drive. It's sporty, it's exciting, it's bright red (of course) and... well, it's a Ferrari.

Mid-life crises just became a whole lot cheaper.

Tesco Compare Car Insurance

I’ve recently discovered the Tesco Compare Car Insurance website, which despite not being directly relevant to my life at the moment (my 26-year-old Volvo died a death a while ago), is certainly something I’ll be bookmarking for future use. You’d think it might be unfairly skewed towards a certain provider, but actually it’s very impartial, and a lot simpler to use than some of the competition.

All you need to do is stick your details into the form and it will generate the results. There are a number of handy features, including a jargon buster which lets you know exactly what constitutes an ‘Act of God’. Apparently lightning and earthquakes are signs of divine intervention. Who’d have known?

There’s also a list of car insurance providers, with a little blurb about each one, so you can choose the one which sounds like it’s closest to what you need. All in all, a pretty handy website – I might well head over there the next time I pick up an ancient Volvo...
