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 />
