As with the majority of vehicles it covers, this slim volume is a step back in time. The 32 pages are filled with snippets of information about Britain’s cabs, from the horse-drawn variety to the familiar TX4 seen on our roads today. The layout is cluttered, but somehow it seems to suit the collection of predominantly black and white pictures and short pieces. Anything you want to know about taxis is likely to be featured in here. KA

They are guaranteeing not to run out of the icy road treatment, having stockpiled 500,000 tonnes of it across the UK. And that isn"t the only seasonal preparation being made by the Highways Agency. It has revealed a fleet of 500 gritters and snowploughs are on standby, ready to work round the clock if necessary to clear roads of ice and snow.

A teaser video of an unmistakable Land Rover, spinning through the levels of a multi-story car park were all that journalists got to see of the firm"s new baby. But judging by the tight cornering, and the close-up shots of the car speeding past parked MINIs - there"s no doubt the firm"s got a compact mud-plugger in mind. Flyers showing the newcomer speeding off into the sunset were also dished out. What Land Rover will say is that the car will be a subcompact version of the Freelander - shorter, but the same length. The firm insisted it wouldn"t be "a cheap, entry-level model", but an all-singing and dancing off-roader, with all the kit you"d expect from the firm.

Also unveiled was news that a more economical version of the Freelander is due to go into production in diesel manual guise, by teh end of next year. The stop-start variant will reduce CO2 emissions by 10 percent to 179g/km, putting it in tax Band E, one lower than the current model.

A G4 Challenge was also announced - a tie up with the Red Cross that will involve 18 teams across the UK competing to complete a series of off-road challenges.
