I t’s been a tricky year, hasn’t it? We’ve had the recent fuel shortages, we’ve seen electric cars come to the forefront – everyone wants one now – but my Car of the Year would have to be the V12, gas guzzling, Aston Martin Victor. It costs £4 million, you’ll never see it, you’ll never get behind the wheel of it, but I did, and as I sit here and write this I’m feeling very smug about it. As a visceral driving experience, trust me, it’ll never be topped.
