Harlequin helter skelter, just for fun. In case you didn’t know, that is a legit spec that VW offered on the Polo, I actually spotted one in Kazakhstan recently.

Car of the week 💰

I’ll be honest, I don’t get the obsession with the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500. It’s cool, I like it, but I don’t like it enough to pay £200k+. It has just over 200bhp and takes over 6 seconds to get to 60mph. What am I missing?

This trio of V8 super-saloons offer great value now, so which is best?

Podcast of the week 🎙️

This episode is actually fascinating, Evo catch up with Julian Thomas who played a significant part in establishing the vehicle remapping world. He was the first guy to crack the Escort Cosworth ECU, before progressing through traction control systems, track timing, vehicle race data and all sorts of other technical innovations.

Seen in the wild 👀

I drove through central London very early on a Saturday morning and saw some pretty special cars road-parked, but this is the only one I actually pulled over to photograph. Who doesn’t love an old Volvo estate!? Checking the reg, I can see that this is a 940, “Celebration” trim no less. Not many 940s on the market, but they seem to cost around £3,500+.
