Martin wonders if the tragic death of a Union Minister last month will finally cause people to buckle up? Some call it stupid. Others think it an idiosyncrasy. And yet others tell me "it's not needed." But every time I get in a vehicle (front or rear), I first reach for the seatbelt. It's almost instinctive. When I think about it (and my countrymen compel that to happen more often than I would like), it just seems like common sense. To me, it's the right thing to do - not morally, or by the law. Just something that may save my life one day.

If you find yourself living in the Manawatu, I strongly suggest you turn straight to the Federation of Motoring Club's page. If you have a couple of parts cars stashed away on your property, beware, as new Council by-laws will affect you, especially if you don’t get on with the neighbours!

Martini racing livery for Porsche 911 S series 991. Porsche unveiled the Martini Racing Edition of the 911 Carrera S to coincide with this year's 24-hours of Le-Mans race, marking the return of Porsche to endurance motorsport. The 911 Carrera S 991 pays tribute to the successes of the legendary Porsche Le Mans race cars such as the 917 and the 935 Moby Dick.

Mansour Oijeh’s road-going Porsche 935 at auction. First ever Sonderwunsch Porsche sells at Bonhams’ Spa Classic sale. Bonhams, the UK-based auctioneer of fine automobiles, has sold a unique 930-based Porsche 935 at its recent Spa Classic sale. Among a host of similarly desirable classic exotica, the 930/935made the fourth highest price of the afternoon. However, with the hammer falling at a final price of €230.000 (£187.220) including buyer's premium the Sonderwunsch Porsche came in at significantly under the lower estimate of €300.000 (£244.000), which was surprising given its history.

Porsche 911 964 RS sells at auction for £219,315. A low-mileage Porsche 964 RS has sold at an auction for £219,315, markings new high point for these increasingly popular air-cooled 911s. The 3.6-litre example created a bidding frenzy at RM Auction's latest high-profile sale, held at the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique.

Two-hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds. That’s around the price you’d have had to pay if you were participating in the RM Auction at Monaco a few weeks ago and wanted to get your hands on a left-hand-drive, narrow-bodied 964 RS with only 11,390 kilometres on the clock.
