VW Transporter Transporter

The VW Transporter is the workhorse of the modern tradesman, blending practical cleverness with a cabin that's actually pleasant to spend a long day in. It may not steal the style spotlight, but its unshowy durability, clever load solutions and easy-to-live-with character make it a sensible pick for businesses and weekend projects alike.

Ferrari 296 Roadster

The Ferrari 296 GTS marries dramatic mid‑engine styling with razor‑sharp handling and a soundtrack that insists you drive it like you stole it. With the roof down it becomes an intoxicating open‑top thoroughbred that somehow also manages to be surprisingly usable day to day — a gorgeous, grin‑inducing reminder of why people fall for Ferraris.
