You know all about Le Mans (and if you don't, follow our live coverage here), but have you been following altogether more ridiculous enduro event, Peking to Paris? Currently lead by an Australian octogenarian driving a 1973 Leyland P76.

Did you know that Aston Martin will sell you a classic, and service your current car? The company's just sent us a pic of its spivved up workshop. We may move in.

McLaren's going to be showing off its Le Mans heritage at Goodwood. Tell us what you'd do to get this in your garage?

Like prostate-powderingly stiff suspension? And those silly caps with peaks like bookshelves? You should've come to the VW Days in St Quentin, France, last weekend.

Did you miss the Classic Ford show at Santa Pod this month? Worry not, internetling. We didn't.

Oh, and don't forget that Top Gear telly's back next Sunday, 8pm, BBC Two and BBC HD. Read more here
