What follows is my last...

What follows is my last word on the British International Motor Show, 2006. Or my last 587 words, to be precise. On the three days and one evening I attended the expo in London"s Docklands, I saw nothing but satisfied British and international journalists, cautiously optimistic motor industry personnel and, most important of all, happy punters.

Is it me? Or is 2007...

Is it me? Or is 2007 flying by? It only seems like yesterday that I was putting the Christmas baubles up in the loft, and today I"m chasing the fast-growing grass round the garden on the lawnmower as summer arrives. I"ve got so many things to do this year that I hope it slows down so I can catch my breath. So far in 2007 I"ve signed up for another series of Pulling Power for ITV1, which starts in August. I"ll also be presenting the TT races on the Isle of Man in late May, and it"s now my sixth year as host of the British Rally Championship for Sky Sports. But my big job of the year has just taken place. It"s one I enjoy and always look forward to. Auto Express readers will now have read the results that get car showroom bosses and manufacturers trembling like a turkey being shown the Cranberry sauce.
