owns the Shireburn Arms Hotel at Hurst Green, has been awarded Cask Marque accreditation for serving the perfect pint of cask conditioned ale. Said Mr Alcock: “This


award is a great endorse­ ment for us. A lot of our customers visit the pub especially for the cask ale and it is really gratifying to know that we are get­ ting the formula just right.” Backed by 34 of the


country’s leading brewers and pub companies, Cask Marque accreditation is only awarded to licensees whose ale passes a series of rigorous independent beer quality audits. Since its foundation in


muni


1997, Cask Marque has inspected around 100,000 pints of beer and accred­ ited nearly 4,000 of the country’s 36,500 pubs estimated to serve one or more cask conditioned ale.':.

Smart ITndeed


HINK of the smart car franchise and you think of the smart fortwo, the tiny


little city car that launched this car in Europe back at the turn of the century. Brand owners Daimler


Chrysler unwisely tried to broad­ en the marque’s appeal with more expensive models in subse­ quent years - and paid the finan­ cial price. Which is why the future plan for this brand is cen­ tred solely around the second generation fortwo model I am looking at here. This fortwo may look almost the


same as its predecessor, but, in fact, exactly 451 changes have been made. They were needed. The sbe- speed automated manual gearbox

new flagship model, the DBS, will once again be driven by James Bond (Daniel Craig) in the next 007 film to be produced by Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for EON Productions, and direct­ ed by Marc Forster. The Aston Martin DBS made its first public appear­ ance in "Casino Royale", when it smashed its way into the Guinness World Record books for the most cannon rolls by a car. Stuntman Adam Kir- ley rolled the DBS an amazing seven times.


What’s new... ®


By ANDY ENRIGHT


has been replaced by a Getrag five- speed unit which still automates the shift with the help of an electric motor, but shift times have been halved which means that you will no longer suffer that lurch, preg­ nant pause and then gradual take- up of power that the old car suf­ fered. The steering has been made


10% quicker, the standard rack now just 3.5 turns lock to lock. It is still not what you would call racy, but it is a good deal less flab­ by feeling than before. Electric power steering is also an option, sharpening feel still further. Prices start from £6,900. Engine-ivise, the cubic capacity


has leapt from 0.7 litres to 1.0-litre. Two normally-aspirated power plants are offer^, of either 61 or 71 b.h.p., and there is also an 84 b.h.p. turbo model. This litre lump has been developed in conjunction with Mitsubishi and all three ver­ sions offer considerably more torque than the equivalent engine in the previous generation fortwo. There is also a 45 b.h.p. diesel model, which will sup around 3.5 litres of fuel per 100km - just over 81 m.p.g. in old money. Taken in isolation, this fortwo


does not look too different to its immediate predecessor, but sit the two cars back to back and it is easy to see where the changes have been made. For a start, the smart is no longer quite the pure design of old, having swelled almost 20cm in


length and 4.3cm in width. The track and the wheelbase have also been stretched. Space inside was always very


good for two adults (if not their baggage), but the latest car is bet­ ter still. The passenger seat is mounted 15cm further back than the driver’s seat, so that shoulder room can be maximised. Smart claims that passengers have an additional three centimetres of elbow room compared to the old car. Luggage room has also usefully increased from 150 to 220 litres. Available in both two-door


coupe form and soft top cabrio, the fortwo is offered in three familiar mainstream trim levels - pure, pulse and passion - with sporty- looking BRABUS versions at the top of the range.


challenge the Caterham Seven in terms of per­ formance, heritage and admiration. A race car on the road, the Seven strips driving back to its basics and focuses it to reward the driver quite like no other, September, 2007, marked SO unin­ terrupted years of pro­ duction and supremacy for the British car. "Fifty Years of the Seven" is released to celebrate this milestone, taking the viewer on a two-and-a- half-hour, full-throttle history lesson.
