It"s believed that production of both roadster and coupé versions of the sports car is about to be halted. The two-seater is built for Chrysler by Karmann, which has a deal to make 30,000 annually. However, with sales on a downward spiral last year, Chrysler doesn"t need that many in 2006, and is in "production and associated compensation" discussions with the German firm.



Pouring petrol into...

Pouring petrol into an oil-burning car can cause havoc but not if you use Halfords Think Diesel. Its a light-sensitive device that goes inside your filler flap. When you open the flap, a recorded voice says: Stop, diesel, remember, diesel. For cars with an internal flap release, the instruction is repeated so you dont forget. The universal device fixes in place using an adhesive pad.

Feel like ripping up...

Feel like ripping up a penalty notice? Maybe you can. Traffic law expert Richard Bentley says drivers should challenge speeding tickets, because the case could be dismissed. If you"re nicked where a limit has recently changed, the signs may be right, but the road markings could be wrong. "No one can commit an offence in those instances," Bentley told us.

The Rolls Royce Ghost...

The Rolls Royce Ghost is almost finished and we"ve caught it tooling around southern Germany practically undisguised!

The 5.4 metre long baby Rolls can be seen here with a stainless steel bonnet and windscreen surround, a feature that was only previously seen on the 200EX concept car.

The only attempts made at keeping the true identity of the Ghost under wraps are the blacked out badges on the front and back, a lack of RR badging on the wheel hubs and the Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet mascot is notably absent.

Power nuts will be pleased to know that the Ghost has an all-new turbocharged 6.6-litre V12 under its shiny bonnet, which should be good for over 500bhp.

While it looks like the Phantom, and apes its suicide doors, the Ghost actually shares a platform with the BMW 7-Series. Though it will be priced neatly inbetween them both at around ң180,000 (before options).

Well find out more about it in September, where itll be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
