You've woken up this morning thinking, "There's not enough bad news around, where can I go to read more?" Well, you've come to the right place.
First up, Mazda Australia have recalled about 3200 of their 2019 Mazda 3s because the wheels might fall off. Readers and friends, I don't want to alarm you but Product Safety Australia put it quite well when they said: "During manufacture, wheel studs may not have been fully seated. A small gap may exist between the wheel studs and the hub assembly" and you may hear "a knocking or clunking noise" and then one or more of the four wheels may fall off.
And you won't see any information on a recent US Consumer Reports story that tells us that "Mazda is recalling more than 260,000 cars and SUVs because a software problem could cause them to stall while driving."
Over in Munich, bad news for BMW chief executive Harald Kruger, who won't run for a second term after five years in the top job.
Now despite interest rates being at record lows, the number crunchers at Historic Automobile Group International tell us classic car prices are down 6 per cent this year. Rare Fezzas and Porkers have fared better than other brands.
If you're too busy to shop around to start a Fezzer collection, then head to the Monterey Conference Centre next month when RM Sotheby's are selling seven, one-owner, low-mileage Fezzers from the one collection for about $10m for a job lot.
