What's the worst Halloween you've ever had? Imagine being haunted by a ghost that's cursed to repeat facts about brakes forever until you break its curse by placing a slider pin in your breast pocket and sprinkling DOT4 on the ground.

What was the most aerodynamic UK production car of the 1990s?

Surprisingly, it's slightly debatable. The answer isn't as straightforward as one you think.

Look, are Morgans made out of wood or aren't they? Let's take a close look and try to settle this.

One of the coolest cars we've worked on lately, a VW Lupo GTi!

Already becoming a modern classic, the Lupo GTi launched in 2000 with a 1.6l 125PS engine that could get it to 60mph in around 8s. In many ways, it's the true successor to the Mk1 Golf GTi, moreso than the Mk4 and 5 Golf GTis of the same period.

It's a truly small, light performance car that also happens to look amazing with its stout bodykit, big wheels and twin central exhaust tips.

What are, objectively and without bias, the three best hatchbacks ever made, and why are they:

1. Clio V6 Phase II
2. Lupo GTi
3. Megane R26R?

(Aston V12V, Ferrari FF, Z3 M Coupe etc. are disallowed answers, even if technically hatchbacks)

Gloss black so deep all you can see are the reflections...

Songbirds roost as it passes, believing it to be night. The moon and stars gleam from its bonnet. The verge strimmers fall silent.

This vehicle has been bestowed with superlative shine. Yours could be too.

Why do you need to be multilingual to say the name of this car?

Name us a two-seater that's got four seats.

Definitionally impossible? We maintain that it's not, and that the Austin Healey 3000 is a two-seater with four seats.

Does that make it a four-seater? No. No, it's not the same thing. Look, it's hard to explain; you really just have to see for yourself.

See how we polish a Jaguar MkII in our detailing bay in order to bring the paint back to its proper gloss.

Good lighting is important as this allows one to see blemishes that will otherwise only be obvious under daylight. Rooflights, a large hex area light, and various special lamps all allow the paintwork to be observed in detail.

An update on the fast road spec Austin Healey 3000 project. Here's a look at the new blue leather interior going in, the sound deadening, the trim pieces.

A satisfying cleaning job of some 1960s Rolls Royce wheel trims.
