Did you have a double take at our cover car? Isn’t it gorgeous? You can read all about it on page 9. Our Rojales Oldtimers, oops I

mean Sandstormers (hee hee! Only joking guys!) have completed their epic rally through Morocco and never want to see sand again!

They had a memorable time and raised far more money for children than they had set out to. We celebrate their achievement with a

double page spread on pages 12 and 13. Tim Surman braved the snow and freezing temperatures to bring us a report and stunning

photos from the first-ever Thruston Revival in the UK and we thank him for his dedication! Jill Carter stayed warm, but braved the

traffic as she photographed some local roundabouts and has a light-hearted look at the Spanish love affair with them. El Guiri takes

us to a magical place I never knew was so near - I shall be heading there myself this month (on four wheels though!). With supercars

(the one and only Veyron) and superstars; we see what some F1 drivers drive on their time off between their two hour races...Also,

we show the driver standings for the BTCC and WTCC, keeping a close eye on Mr Nash in the WTCC. Happy motoring! Professor

Revival

Over the Easter weekend, Thruxton race circuit in Hampshire UK, held the inaugural Thruxton Easter Revival. It`s

always special to be at the �rst of any event, it would be almost a badge of honour to say that you were at the �rst

Goodwood Festival of Speed, or in this case the �rst Easter Revival.

The highlight of the event, thanks to the Historic Sports Car Club, was the return of the F2 cars. They raced and roared around the Hampshire based circuit once again, like they originally did in 1968, in only the circuits second meeting. That was a European Championship event and back then F2 attracted large crowds and top drivers, including many F1 drivers. Jochen Rindt was the winner in `68, `69 and `70. Tiff Needell was re-united with his Lotus 69 Formula Ford, the car he won in an Autosport competition when he was just 19 and sold after 90 races in 1973. 40 years later he was back in the driving seat in the Historic Formula Ford race and �nished 3rd. A full grid for the tin tops, with a 40 minute race, full of MGB`s, TR4`s, TVR`s and more in the Guards Trophy, continuing with the Super Touring Car races and Honda Accord`s, Alfa Romeo 156, Ford Sierra RS500 and a very sideways single Ford Mustang. The �nal winner of this weekends fourteen races, Martin O’Connell was presented with the Jochen Rindt Memorial Trophy, a trophy orginally commissioned by the BARC after Jochen`s death in 1970.

Bill Coombs, MD of Thruxton, has been wanting to hold an historic meeting at Thruxton for a while and combined with the history of the Easter F2 meeting, this �rst event was a great success. We can all enjoy another great annual historic meet and I`m

already looking forward to next year.

The motor industry didn’t let us down this year with their annual April Fool wind ups.Here are 3 of the best ones we heard about.

With a Royal baby due this summer BMW are proud to announce the launch of their limited edition BMW P.R.A.M. (Postnatal Royal Auto Mobile). Available in Princess Pink or Royal Blue, the soft top convert-ible has been designed using their EfficientDynamics technology. Available in two or four wheel drive and comes with air conditioning as standard. If you’re ‘too posh to push’ it can come fitted with N.A.P.P.I.E. (Nanny Assisting Petrol Powered Injection Engine).

The Mini Dating app will analyse the way Mini owners drive and then hook them up for a date with other drivers of the same driving style. The idea is that if you’re a bit of a Jenson Button behind the wheel, you’ll be connected to someone of Vicki Butler-Henderson driving style.

Nissan posted images onto their facebook page of a new GT-R logo’d sandwich toaster. According to the them it “blasts sandwiches from 0 to grilled in 2.9 sec-onds” “lunchtime just got a whole lot faster”. The reac-tion was apparently over-whelming so they may have hit on kitchen-based Nissan branded appliances.

The Love Hate Relationship with Spanish Roundaboutsby Jill Carter

their roundabout design and many examples are negotiated when travelling

arises when using the roundabout as the legal way to negotiate them is to drive in the nearside lane, which ever exit you are taking. (Laws change so check for the latest, this is not designed to be a guide!). If you obey the law and work on the principle that every vehicle is out to get you, you should survive the experi-ence. Do not expect the other vehicles to indicate the exit they are taking and be prepared for pedestrians crossing the road almost at the roundabout via a speed bump or black and white zone similar to the old Zebra crossings.

accidents on the UK roads involving long vehicles designed to drive on the right which have many blind spots.

I started 'collecting' roundabouts by photographing them when I bought a house on the Costa Blanca in 1999. So diverse yet so many with a story to tell! Unfortunately to see them at their best I would need a double decker bus to achieve a good shot. My friends thought I was rather sad and looked upon my

On March 4th this year, new legislation governing the payment of fines for traffic offences was intro-duced in Spain. According to the new law, drafted and passed by the Spanish Directorate-General of Traffic (Dirección General de Tráfico) and the Minis-try of the Interior, the payment of traffic fines in cash will no longer be accepted, and only payment by debit or credit card will be allowed. The authori-ties have cited security and economic efficiency as the reasons behind their decision due to the fact that once this new measure has been introduced, the risks and expenses involved with transporting money, will no longer exist.

According to the DGT, the measure will only apply to the payment of fines. All the other administrative operations carried out at Provincial Traffic Headquarters, such as processing

or renewing a driving licence, can still be paid for in cash.

LÍNEA DIRECTA REPORTS ON NEWLEGISLATION FOR PAYING FINES

In order to make the payment, drivers must access the DGT web-page, www.dgt.es, or call the number 060. Although Provincial Headquarters will no longer accept payments in cash, drivers can still pay their fines in cash at any post office or Banco Santander branch. In this case, drivers will still be required to provide and attach the fine reference number.

The Pegaso Thrill 2You can see the influential themes:

Long bonnet with short noseElongated rear end

Partially covered wheelsTwo tone colour scheme

Empiria Classic Futurism Pegaso HomageWhen I first saw this car, it took my breath away and I had to find out more. I contacted the Spanish designer, Hector Alvarez Sanchez, who has recently completed a Masters in Automotive Design. One of his ambitions was to design a

modern day successor to the sports cars produced by Pegaso in Barcelona between 1951 and 1957, and this is it.

From every angle this caris stunning, even the wheels are different on each side

This one-off car has two completely different and oppo-site personalities, the best from the future and past; the proportions and soul of the cars from the 50`s and 60's with the design and technology of the future. The black areas signify the shapely organic styling of the old, while the white areas have sharper lines more akin with modern day sports cars. He also highlights the sometimes crazi-ness of modern day design with the fragmented rear break lights running along the middle where black meets white.

Hector says "I wanted to create a WOW! effect on people, not only to design a beautiful car but a sculpture with a strong meaning. Because I am a believer of the theory 'Form follows Function', every line of the car has to mean something and this has that. We have some superb examples of supercars today, but I think none of them can be compared with the amount of sex appeal that you can find in a Ford GT40, Lamborghini Miura or Jaguar XKSS, when cars were made with real passion”.

What a cheeky smile!

Hector's next goal is to present his car at the Concours d'Elegance of Villa d'Este in Italy, so he is looking for an investor to make this dream a reality. He is not looking to make money from this venture, he "just wants to contribute with passion to the automotive world". We wish him good luck and we will be back to visit him when he makes it to Italy. Thank you Hector, for sharing your

gorgeous design with our readers!

"This car will be both beautiful and uncomfortable, because a supercar shouldn't be comfortable, like a couture dress or shoes for a woman are made to be look wonderful, not for comfort. In a 300.000€ car it shouldn't be important if you take 3 or 7 seconds to get inside. I think we are losing the point of what a supercar should be". Hector Alvarez

Audi TT Ultra Quattro Concept. At the start of May every year, the Wörthersee (in Kärn-ten, Austria) is the place to be for every car and Audi enthusiast. Audi will be showcasing the Audi TT ultra quattro concept, which combines minimal weight and maximum sportiness. The showcar combines a lean 1,111 kilograms (2,449.34 lb) total weight with a 2.0 TFSI engine, whose 228 kW (310 hp) and 400 Nm effort-lessly propel the coupé. From a standstill the TT ultra quattro concept is catapulted in 4.2 seconds to 100 km/h (62.14 mph). Its power-to-weight ratio of 3.6 kg/hp is on a par with thoroughbred super sports cars. Also on show will be the legendary Sport quattro S1, the very latest RS models and thoroughbred race cars including the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, which was the first hybrid car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2012, will also be part of the action at the lakeside. What we want to know is will Iron Man's Audi R8 e-tron be there?

Spanish Petrol Pumps.While I was in the UK recently, I was amazed to discover that they still haven't installed the simple, but oh so effective 'money select' buttons on the petrol pumps they have in Spain. I have put in a photo to show anyone who doesn't know what they are for. They basically allow you to select how much petrol (or diesel) you want to put in your car. Usually in denominations of 1€ and 10€, you press the button as many times as you need to select how much fuel you want to put in your vehicle. So, if you want to put in 30€, press the 10€ button 3 times. You see it appear in the place where the total appears. It will say 30€, then put the nozzle in and press the lever and exactly that amount of fuel will go into your car. Not a penny more! Brilliant! If you are new to Spain, there's no more carefully slowing down as you near the 90c to ensure you don't go over. It's easy! I just wish the UK would take note, although how much money do they make on all those pennies? I worked in a petrol station over 20 years ago (and met my other half there - ahh such happy memories!) and back then around one in four people went over a penny or two. I used to let them off paying, but it's not like that now, oh no, one person changed up a pound on my last visit for 1p... I was astounded. So, please take note and use these great buttons if you don't or didn't know what they are for, they save you time and I'm sure we can all do with removing one niggling thing from our day huh?

MG 3 Supermini.MG has used the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show to preview the new MG3 supermini, in advance of the UK and European launches in late 2013. Carrying forward the styling cues first illustrated on the MG Zero concept vehicle, it’s style is designed to target young and style conscious buyers. This unique and contemporary style was brought to the super-mini segment by the design and engi-neering team at the MG Birming-ham site in Longbridge, UK. The MG3 will become the second in a new generation of MG vehicles to leave the assembly line at the Birmingham factory. At launch, customers will be able to person-alise both the exterior and interior like with the Citroen DS3 and Renault Twingo.

This month we take a look at what our favourite F1 drivers (old and present) fool around in when off the

track. We’ll have another 5 for you next month.

Mark Webber is usually seen at wheel of his Infiniti M37S, pictured here fooling around on a track. Mark also owns a 911 Turbo and a 911 GT2, BMW X5, Renaultsport Mégane 250 and a Nissan Navara 'ute'.

Four time Formula One world champion Alain Prost is here with his Porsche 928 pictured in 1997. The V8 928 was intended as a replacement for the 911, but we all

know what happened there...

David Coulthard makes sure his gorgeous 1967Mercedes Benz 280SL always looks its best whilst

driving around his home town of Monaco.

Jenson Button arrives in style with a McLaren 12C Spider, and why not?

If you're sponsored by Mercedes then, of course, you're going to drive a Merc. Nico's ride of choice is a C63 AMG saloon, while ex-team mate Schumacher chose a

S65 AMG, we wonder if he’s given it back!

Gerry Graves and Richard Colborne are the Rojales Sandstormers and they recently completed the Maroc Challenge, a rally across Morocco. We met up with them one last time to find out, in their own words, how it went, what they enjoyed and what they didn’t and

how much money they raised for children here in Spain and Morocco.

section, we hit a trench and bent the front suspen-

sion (see photo below). Luckily, a mechanic was in

a car behind and within half an hour he helped

get us going again. That night Gerry drove

130kms back to take the car to a garage to get the

suspension repaired and springs straightened out.

He left it there overnight and got a lift back.

STAGE 3:

GUERCIF-MIDELT 429kms 8 hours

Rough ground, approaching the Atlas Mountains.

We received no penalties and finished with just 2

minutes to spare! Speed limits in a lot of the

villages we passed through were only 20km/h.

STAGE 1:

“It was just like old times - the first three days were like going back in time. Then we got into the deep sand and neither of

us had experienced this before” Richard

Ready for the off!

“The camaraderie was fantastic, it brought back a lot of fond

memories. The spirit of the event was just as when we used to rally back in the 60s and 70s”

Gerry

“On day 3 we had to cross a concrete bridge, where the two middle sections had dropped down about 12 feet, that was

tricky and nerve-racking” Gerry

“On one of the days we crossed a river bed

twice to get around an enormous rock. As we came up from the river bed, we crossed paths

with another rally, narrowly missing

another car! ” Richard

“Our servo went at the end of day 3, meaning we had no servo brakes for the

last 2 stages” Richard“Every evening was spent repair-ing the cars. By the

end 60 cars had broken drive shafts

and virtually everyones suspen-

sion needed attention” Gerry

SPANISH DRIVING LICENCESPANISH DRIVING LICENCE

Sand: Fez Fez sand is a very fine sand that gets in everywhere, even after showering - within half an hour we were covered again! It’s also very easy to get the car stuck in it as we found out. We are now in no doubt where the red sand we get in our rain on the

Costa Blanca comes from!

Free Day / Solidarity Project

It was on this day that we took the supplies to 3

local schools. A truck load of school supplies,

clothes and essential items were delivered to

overjoyed and grateful children and teachers. It

was nice to see and we also handed out small toys

and sweets along the route as we passed through

villages. Gerry made the trip back to collect the

car and get it ready for the next day.

STAGE 4:

MERZOUGA - RAMILIA - MERZOUGA 252kms 7 hoursA circular stage, with sand, salt lakes and really rough ground, like hardened volcanic larva. Thankfully our bucket seats held us tightly and reasonably comfort-ably, they certainly saved us getting any back pains.

At one section, there was a drop into an old river bed, about 40m wide and we could see 3 cars stuck, so we took another route across!

STAGE 5:

MERZOUGA - PMF with Algeria - MER-

ZOUGA 80kms 3 1/2 hours

Another circular route with deep, deep

sand in which we found it very chal-

lenging to keep the car upright and

going in the right direction! It was a

wonderful feeling to finish the rally.

STAGE 6:

Congratulations on your great achieve-ment and thanks for sharing your journey

with us at the Costa Car Trader.

No. of teams: 101No. who finished: 91

Our Finishing Position:

12th in class24th overall

Navigation: Times have changed and we had to quickly learn how to use the GPS navigation system. We were given a list of co-ordinates, which we programmed in and then followed the route. At the end of the each day, we handed in the unit to check the route and speed. We were very disappointed that on day 3 the route wasn’t recorded and we lost 500 points. We were joint leaders up

until that point!

Total Raised:

1,850€ for Elche Childrens Home

1,100€ for children in Morocco

At one point, the team mates at McLaren; Jenson Button and Sergio Perez were involved in a tight tussle which angered Jenson. Sergio tried to overtake him and touched him a couple of times causing Jenson to say on the team radio: "Calm him down, will you?" In the closing laps, Mark and Lewis battled hard for fifth place, with Lewis passing the Red Bull into Turn One at the start of the final lap to take fifth. Mark then lost another place to Sergio in the course of the last lap as Fernando took eighth.

14th April Shanghai, ChinaLewis Hamilton continued his good form by qualifying on pole. Fernando Alonso was in third and jumped Kimi Raikkonen at the start then took the lead from Lewis on lap five. The Ferrari driver looked strong as he made his first stop for tyres two laps later. Sauber's Nico Hulken-berg led the race for a while before Fernando reclaimed it and opened up a 10 second gap on Lewis. At his final pit stop, the Ferrari driver emerged from the pit lane so close to the rear of temporary race leader Sebastian Vettel that it only took two laps for him to complete a DRS move on the Red Bull into turn 1 to snatch the top spot back again. He went onto to take a well deserved victory as he made all the right decisions and choices on the day. Kimi took second and Lewis held on to take the last place on the podium, despite a late charge from Sebastian who pitted with five laps to go and emerged 13 seconds behind Lewis. In the final lap he just couldn’t pass the Brit and had to settle for 4th. Jenson Button had a two stop strat-egy and took 5th place despite being in an uncompetitive car.

21st April Sakhir, BahrainNico Rosberg was on pole and despite making a good start, was passed by Sebastian Vettel in the opening lap. Fernando Alonso had also made a good start, initially passing Sebastian, but wasn’t able to make the move stick. The Red Bull pulled away and once again the German was in his comfort zone and had soon opened up a gap and his win was really never in doubt. Kimi Raikkonen was on a two-stop strategy and moved up from eighth on the grid to take second place. Paul Di Resta rode a terrific race, also on a two-stop plan, he was in third place, but was passed by Romain Grosjean with 6 laps to go, denying him his first podium. Fernando had problems with his DRS causing him to pit on both lap 7 and 8 and he was involved in the race-long fight involving Mark Webber, Lewis Hamilton, Sergio Perez, Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button, as their strategies brought various combinations of drivers together on track at various points of the race.

Ride 3: Mazarron and BolnuevoI'm sure lots of you know about the "Enchanted City" (Ciudad Encantada) that lies just outside of Cuenca, but did you know there is another? Much closer to home too!! Rob led us down the AP7 as far as exit 794 (Why is the next exit 797? Where did 795 and 796 go? Honest, check it out!), where we joined the N332. The air was thick with orange blossom and it was amusing to watch Rob (a hayfever sufferer) as every time he sneezed he pulled on the throttle and his bike would shoot off before slowing down again! He he he... (small things amuse small minds. Ahem!!).

Into Cartagena and out the back over the mountain on the RM E 22. This is a great little piece of tarmac, brilliant for looking at the breathtaking views. Take the time to pull into the view point on the way down as the spectacular views/photos will be well worth it. We stopped in Isla Plana for refreshments (having to avoid 'paperrazzi'!) before following the road round the bay to Bolnuevo and our very own local(ish) "Enchanted City". The coast along this stretch is beautiful with some sea views that could have come straight from a James Bond movie. Everyone arrived OK, even the Colonel who had Gill, his carer, with him (who he insisted on calling his 'wife').

An attractive, tattooed young lady wanted her photo taken with a bike and a biker! When the fighting had stopped, Rob kindly, but reluctantly agreed (yeah right! You're not sneezin' now are you? EH?! EH?!!).

From Bolnuevo we took the road for the RM-3 autovia, then the MU 603 before heading off the beaten track onto the E19 to La Pinilla. This small back road had been recently resurfaced and a good deal of 'loose chippings' were still present on the riding line in many places. Despite this, the road proved interesting with plenty of curves/bends and sheer drops with no verge/run off area. Following a fuel stop in Fuente Alamo (tut tut, Sparky!?) the roads were smoother, faster sweeping bends (E-12) Balsapintada, Roldan and Balsicas; picking up the RM 19 autovia for a last blast down to San Javier.Stay safe, El Guiri

One of these suspicious characters is 'El Guiri'!But which one?!

Marc Márquezand Dani Pedrosa in Austin

7th April Qatar, LosailThe new season saw the current World Champion, Jorge Lorenzo start on pole and take the lead ahead of Dani Pedrosa. Pedrosa’s new teammate, 20-year-old Spaniard Marc Márquez fought his way from 8th up the field to overtake Pedrosa on lap 17th. Valentino Rossi in his first race back for Yamaha made a charge on Pedrosa and Márquez on Laps 19 and 20 respectively, only for the debutant to fight back as the pair went head-to-head. Rossi came out on top by just two tenths of a second, with Márquez becoming the first MotoGP rookie to seal a rostrum result in his first race since Lorenzo finished in second position at Losail five years ago. Lorenzo took the win with Rossi happy back on the podium after a long absence.

21st April Americas, AustinA brave and daring inch-perfect performance from Marc Márquez saw him record an astonishing maiden MotoGP victory in only his second start around the new Circuit of the Americas, ahead of team-mate Dani Pedrosa. Pedrosa led the race until Márquez overtook him and fought off attempts by his teammate to take back the lead. By the end of the race, the rookie crossed the line a winner by almost two seconds. He breaks Freddie Spencer's three-decade-old record to become the premier class' youngest ever winner at 20 year and 63 days. The new guy is level with Lorenzo in the stand-ings, who took third place behind Pedrosa.
