The Champ Car circus...
The Champ Car circus is rolling into Europe. For the first time since 2003, America’s single-seater series is travelling across the pond. Sadly for us Brits, it won’t be returning to Brands Hatch in Kent. Instead, the two European rounds will be at the former grand prix circuit of Zolder in Belgium on 26 Aug-ust and Assen in the neighbouring Nether-lands the following weekend.
The calming influence...
The calming influence of a familiar motor makes it first choice for many brides. The traditional Roller (image) appears further down the list compiled by insurer Churchill, along with unusual vehicles such as a milk float, vintage bus or tractor. Five per cent of brides walked to church.
Menawhile, thousands of wedding guests are falling foul of drink drive laws this year, according to new research from Privilege Insurance.
Almost one in three (32 per cent) drivers at weddings admitted to drinking over the legal limit while almost one in ten (9 per cent) drivers took to their cars within three hours of having a drink.
But it is not just drivers to blame. The Privilege research shows that three per cent of wedding guests have actively given alcoholic drinks to other guests at a wedding, knowing they were later going to drive.
