Opel Astra to Bentley Mulsanne: new metal at the IAA
Ferrari wasn’t the only one making a big splash at IAA, the Frankfurt Motor Show. BMW officially premièred its X1 (which had already appeared in German TV show Alarm für Cobra 11 two weeks before) and its 5er Gran Turismo—a hatchback version of the 5, if we had to be crude—with chairman of the board […]
One of our favourite photographers, Douglas Rimington, is notoriously hard to photograph, since he avoids being in front of the camera as much as possible. Even at a dinner held in his honour as he departs for the UK by way of Japan next week. Here are some of the Lucire team chilling out with […]
