    Audi Quattro: 4x4 Meets the mass market
    The original Audi Quattro is often associated with bringing four-wheel drive technology to the mainstream. An everyday saloon vehicle but with the added edge of four-wheel drive technology. The Audi Quattro went on to become a cult classic, but the technology at its heart and what arguably made it so great is a staple in Audi’s current generation of road cars. The Audi Quattro first saw the light of day at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show with production continuing right through until 1991. Tak...

    Here at Big Motoring World we were interested to hear that Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced controversial plans to introduce low emission zones in Scotland.

Four cities are expected to bring in the new zones, with Glasgow leading the way later this year, followed by Edinbur...

    New changes to the driving test
    Driving licences were first handed out in the UK in 1903 – but it wasn’t until 1935 that the official driving test came into force. It’s been through a few changes since then (there are a few of the older members of our team here at Big Motoring World who remember when hand signals were still a part of the test!). It wasn’t until the 90s that reverse parking became a part of the test, and 1996 before the theory test came in. A new raft of changes are now due – and ...
