In a world of huge SUVs and an increasing dependence on technology, a sports car from Hethel was the detox I needed. Hydraulic steering, a manual gearbox and a roaring 400bhp supercharged 3.5-litre V6 behind my head. Phwoar. And all of this encased in one of the best-looking bodies currently on sale. The Emira’s rawness surprised me. It was fidgety, tracked quite aggressively and shifted its weight heavily if I sent too much power to the back wheels in one go. It felt more like a track car for the road than a road car that could be taken to…

Upgrading to a good SSD can make your computer feel brand new again. Apps open faster, files move in a blink and even older machines start to feel a lot more responsive. It is one of the easiest ways to breathe life into a laptop or desktop without replacing the whole system, and the performance boost is something you notice right away.There are plenty of SSDs to choose from, though, and the naming alone can be confusing if you are not already familiar with the specs. Some drives are built for simple upgrades, while others offer speeds that benefit creators…

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano insist that Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim will “suffer” for the rest of the season if it means getting in the right long-term transfer targets. The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their midfield over the next couple of transfer windows with a report in The Sun claiming they will sign a new midfield pairing in the summer. Man Utd have been linked with loads of potential cheap options ahead of the January transfer window with Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher and Al-Hilal’s Ruben Neves available for relatively low prices. However, Romano has seemingly ruled out deals…
“I want to say the R500 is not a scary car to drive,” says Dan Webster, the earnestness in his Brummie tone entirely betrayed by the glint in his eyes. “But it probably will be scary the first time you drive it.” The deadpan delivery makes me laugh out loud, then quietly look inward. I get that Webster, who races an Elise and is the master engine tuner turned overhaul specialist behind Bromsgrove-based High Performance Engineering, rates his product. I also get that, with a McLaren F1’s power-to-weight ratio and a wheelbase shorter than that of a VW Up, the…
Large financial service companies often drive the enterprise IT sector, with the ability to invest large amounts to pioneer the use of certain technologies. The cloud has been a great example in recent years, but today that technology hardly seems to get a look in when it comes to headlines thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and – more specifically – generative AI (GenAI) stealing the show. Every sector is doing something around AI, but the financial services sector is facing a seismic shift as the technology could see the complexity of IT and its cost reduce at an unprecedented…

Top journalist David Ornstein has revealed that Man Utd and other interested parties will not be able to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson in January. The Red Devils invested over £200m in five new signings over the summer transfer window as INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe backed Ruben Amorim. Man Utd concentrated on attack in the summer months after only four Premier League sides scored fewer goals than the Red Devils last term. The Premier League outfit were criticised for failing to strengthen their midfield with the position a big area of concern last season. However, Man Utd are…
