I love this rear-engined, air-cooled, ultra-exclusive resto mod - because it's not what you think...
Have you seen the Twisted TBug? Twisted, the friendly, Yorkshire-based modifier of classic Land Rover Defenders (and now owner of a marine division as well), has started offering a Volkswagen Beetle Baja Bug restomod too. (If it starts doing Hillman Imps, our respective garages will look even more alike.) Unsurprisingly, the TBug looks somewhat nicer than my Baja Bug, because Twisted are people who are used to doing things properly. The interior looks trimmed beautifully, the stance is just so (I'm tempted to have a word with the front end of mine and a grinder) and there's a reinforced chassis, a new engine, new electrics and LED lights that don't look daft. The power output has been about doubled over the original, but it's still making less than 80bhp, so it isn't a fast car – but that doesn't matter a bit. 'What makes the TBug special is that it makes you smile every time you slide behind the wheel,' says Twisted founder Charles Fawcett. 'In a world of increasingly serious and complex vehicles, there's something wonderfully refreshing about that.' As they might have said in the 1970s, I can dig that. Unlike Twisted Defenders and Suzuki Jimnys, this car exists in the 'special projects' bit of the company's offerings. Lots of personalisation and customisation is on offer and it's the sort of thing you could get lost for days in with the designers – although Twisted has made three for sale already to its thinking, in grey, green and yellow. You can spend around £95,000.

Calne Bike Meet expected to attract 10,000 bikers this year
About 10,000 motorcyclists are expected to descend on a small town for an annual Calne Bike Meet in Wiltshire is celebrating its 25th anniversary on event raises thousands of pounds for charity, and this year will be fundraising for the charities Bliss, DocBike and the Calne Food Greg Widger told BBC Radio Wiltshire: "Some bikers might look a bit scary, but we're a soft-hearted bunch, and we'll do anything for charity." "We reckon around 10,000 [bikers] would be about right - and that doesn't include other people who come along from the town."The event started in 2000 as a casual annual meet-up for bikers, but has now grown to resemble a small festival, with live music from local bands, along with food outlets and stalls. A well-known sculpture of a giant motorbike has also been restored in time for this year's meet."We believe it's the biggest event that Calne has," said Mr Widger."Over time we've done some calculations on this and we would say somewhere around half a million pounds, three quarters of a million pounds' worth of business comes into Calne on one day."Bikers now travel from across the UK and at times, beyond, to Wiltshire for the Widger added: "Years ago we had a guy come over from Romania for the event, which is a level of dedication that goes way above and beyond."
