As a paid-up fan and user I was delighted to hear that Ordnance Survey’s (OS) iconic road map series OS Road have been relaunched after a seven-year hiatus. The eight map sheets, covering the whole of Great Britain, are back by popular demand and with a new twist that is aimed at helping tourists see even more of Britain.
For the first time the road maps, which also have a new look and design to their predecessors, will show designated beaches and National Parks visitor centres. They are also OS’s first maps to include the appearance of the Queensferry Crossing.

Oct 20th
When my inbox pinged this week bringing me details of Citroën 2CV specialist and manufacturer of the new Drewgard Roadster, I noted the name of the man behind the project, Andrew Gardner, which well and truly got the Hole grey matter whirring!
Then I remembered. I’d last met Andrew some 18-years ago when produced the CeeVee Sport, his original sportscar design using the Gallic stalwart for donor purposes, which although ultimately remained stillborn I always thought it had promise.
The intervening years (where does time go?) has seen Andrew develop and grow his business specialising in all things related to the 2CV. More >

BACK UP CLEARLY

A lot of older cars never had the option of in-built reversing lights and this means that they didn’t have the facility to have a gearbox ‘switch’. The latest new product from Better Car Lighting could well sort this issue out for you.
