With the F1 season done and dusted, James Allen looks back on a year of controversy, disappointments and unnecessary blunders. Ian Fraser aims his abundent supply of vitriol at Government do-gooders who wish to censor our view of high performance cars.

• Ariel Atom: first drive
It's the most daring lightweight since the Lotus Seven. Powered by a mid-mounted Rover K-series engine and priced at under 17,000 Pounds, the Atom has the hallmarks of another all-British sports car success. John Barker reports

• Buying Guide: The 10,000 Pound Question
What would you but for 10K Pounds? We asked ourselves the same question and came up with (Renault) Clio Williams, (Volkswagen) Corrado VR6, TVR S3 and Porsche 944 Turbo. Find out why we chose them - and what used car expert Roger Green thinks of our choices
• Long Term Tests
Harry's driven to Italy in his (Porsche) 911 Turbo, Roger's been shopping in his Caterham (Seven), Andy Morgan's been chasing supercars in the Forester and David Yu's finally found a new home for Godzilla. Plus we say hello to our latest addition: a hiny silver Volkswagen Bora V5
