MOTORS<br />

When it comes to classic<br />

car shows – there really<br />

is a North/South divide<br />

Life on Cars by<br />

David Simister<br />

THE other day my sister posted on Facebook a list of things<br />

thatI–asaSandgrounder now ensconced in Peterborough<br />

– might be missing about T’North.<br />

Among the suggestions it offered up was coffee served in<br />

mugs rather than cups, chatting to chirpy Scousers on<br />

Merseyrail trains rather than sitting in silence on the<br />

London Underground, and quaint pubs in the Lake District<br />

serving dark ales named after poets and fell walkers. What I<br />

miss most of all, though, are our car events.<br />

That’s why I found myself in Aintree last weekend, a<br />

village well known <strong>for</strong> its connections with horsepower and<br />

racing – yep, part of the old Grand Prix circuit was being<br />

used <strong>for</strong> a sprint event. It’s a surprisingly simple <strong>for</strong>mula<br />

<strong>for</strong> motoring fun; just bring your wheels of choice to the<br />

<strong>star</strong>t line, put your foot down, hold on <strong>for</strong> dear life and hope<br />

your engine doesn’t pack in.<br />

Which, in the case of one Caterham which left a half–mile<br />

of blue smoke and a similarly sized oil slick down the final<br />

straight, it definitely didn’t!<br />

The best bit, however, wasn’t watching everything <strong>from</strong> an<br />

E–Type to a Lotus Elise being nailed around the historic<br />

circuits corners and chicanes, but being able to wander<br />

around the paddocks and get up close to this<br />

mouthwatering machinery and have a bit of a chinwag with<br />

the owners.<br />

There is something wonderfully egalitarian about the<br />

whole event, because it doesn’t matter whether you’ve<br />

brought half a million quid’s worth of classic racing<br />

machinery or a Renault 5 GT Turbo.<br />

At Aintree, all that matters is getting the fastest time in<br />

your class.<br />

The one thing that summed that up more than anything<br />

else was clocking a lightly abused Renaultsport Clio 182<br />

parked up next to an Aston Martin DB6.<br />

The two couldn’t be more different, but both of their<br />

The Renaultsport Clio and Aston Martin DB6 ready <strong>for</strong><br />

action at Aintree<br />

Code NA<br />

owners were the epitome of loveliness and were there not to<br />

show off, but because they enjoyed putting their cars<br />

through their paces (and, without wanting to offend either,<br />

I bet their lap times weren’t dissimilar either).<br />

So the smorgasbord of car shows across the region, which<br />

always get into their stride at this time of the year, is<br />

something I can add to my list of things I miss about The<br />

North.<br />

Next week; gritty movies directed by Ken Loach, people<br />

who insist on lolly ices instead of ice lollies and Brian and<br />

Michael’s Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs.<br />

Only joking!<br />

The Renault Captur<br />

New Renault<br />

Captur hopes<br />

to be a Brit hit<br />

RENAULT is hoping Brit<br />

motorists are ready to Captur its<br />

latest model when it arrives in<br />

showrooms across the country<br />

this summer.<br />

Closely based on the latest<br />

version of the Clio, the Captur is<br />

hoping to tempt buyers by<br />

offering them a blend of Gallic<br />

style, practicality and keen<br />

pricing, with the cheapest<br />

versions <strong>star</strong>ting at £12,495.<br />

It’s the latest contender in the<br />

supermini–meets–off–roader<br />

market dominated by Nissan’s<br />

Juke and MINI’s Countryman,<br />

with Fiat’s 500L and Peugeot’s<br />

2008 also arriving later this year.<br />

A spokesperson <strong>for</strong> the French<br />

Code NA<br />

firm said: “Renault’s new<br />

entrant combines the best of three<br />

worlds: the style and driving<br />

position of an SUV, the cabin<br />

space and versatility of an MPV<br />

and the driving experience of a<br />

compact hatchback.<br />

“Aiming to have quite an<br />

impact, and not just with its<br />

looks, the new comer is both<br />

attractively priced versus the<br />

competition, not to mention very<br />

well equipped right <strong>from</strong> the<br />

entry trim level.”<br />

The Captur, which is available to<br />

order now, will arrive in<br />

Renault’s UK showrooms at the<br />

beginning of July.<br />
