New from Yokohama for 2021 is their new Hobby range of tyres, which in essence hark back to radials of days gone by while using modern-day tyre manufacturing processes and materials.

These are absolutely ideal for kitcars and classic cars and offer great levels of quietness, grip levels and hard wear characteristics we expect of our tyres these days.

There are presently three versions available – The GT Special Y350 (prices start at around £78) which are designed to replicate Yokohama’s original tread patterns from 1967. The AOO8P is aimed at the high-performance Porsche air-cooled Turbo and Turbo S owner (from around More >

We’ve been really taken by Robert Moon’s Darkside three-wheeler concept. Brave, refreshing and full of innovation.

We brought you Rob’s thoughts about his project in the September/October 2020 issue of TKC MAG and it brought plenty of good feedback from readers.

Rob had nailed the chassis, suspension and other technical aspects of the modern-looking trike but had launched a competition to design a body for the car. His co-judge in the competition, which drew (see what I did there! – Ed) entries from around the globe, was the lauded designer, Frank Stephenson.

Graphene is the hardest product known to man and so it follows that if you could use it as a car care product in liquid form it will be pretty successful and rugged.

A bit like an LED rechargeable torch, it doesn’t fade rather it gives great performance until it doesn’t and it goes phut!

Like that torch though you can recharge the protection on your paintwork by reapplying it. Simple as that.

QDX Graphene is very easy to apply and gave frankly More >

For more than 120 years, British company Castrol has been at the forefront of oil technology.

Company founder Charles Wakefield launched his first vehicle engine oil in 1906, a pioneering blend of mineral and castor oils that offered unrivalled lubrication properties.

Since then and through many further innovations, Castrol oils have lubricated the beating heart of everything from speed records to Mars missions.

Interestingly, Castrol was the first company of its kind to promote its products through sponsorship, which swiftly led to advertising and merchandising. By 1946, when the iconic Castrol Classic branding was launched, they offered a wide range of workshop regalia More >

A great new car battery memory saver for the professional vehicle workshop from Laser tools: if a vehicle’s battery is disconnected, any memory within the onboard electronics can be lost; this could be trip and fuel readings, radio presets, or even a radio code.

This memory saver (part number 7984) features an internal 12V 7Ah sealed battery and is used to preserve the on-board memory and settings. This saves valuable time spent re-entering lost codes. The memory saver is connected to the vehicle via the EOBD port or alternatively the accessory 12V power socket. Leads for both are included.
