Bertone. Giugiaro. Pininfarina… Some of the greatest automotive design names of all time. Their masterful strokes have left an indelible imprint on automotive culture, adding style and passion to the humble motor car. But now there’s a new name to add to that list.. Yours!
Yes indeed, the next big thing in cutting-edge automotive design could be you. Although we’re not offering you your own studio in Turin or anything like that, we are offering you the chance to see your vision made in a production reality by joining in our wheel design comp.
Friday the 23rd is the closing date, so there are literally just hours left to put the finishing touches to your masterpiece. The lucky winner will not only have their wheel lovingly crafted to their exact specification, before a full set is delivered to their door…but you’ll also get to join us as VIP guests at the World-famous Ultimate Street Car show at Santa Pod between the 6th and 8th of August. And that’s worth entering for on its own!
So what are you waiting for? Fame and legendary status awaits you – along with the enviable chance to roll around on a totally unique set of custom rims. The clock is ticking.. so get clicking (link)

You get to travel a lot in this job. Oh yes, us jet-set international bloggers get to travel all sorts of exotic locations. Cleethorpes. Margate. Prestatyn, you name it, we’ve been there, eaten the motorway service sausage roll and got the t-shirt.

Now, is it just me? Or have we all got a lot fussier as consumers?
