Toyota says that, win or lose; they won a place in our hearts with their speed and strength, and deserve our applause one last time before they head off to retirement. The company refers not the England squad, but the football playing Toyota Aygos from Top Gear TV. A reported third of a billion viewers saw the game when it was broadcast last year and it is claimed that millions more have seen repeats and web streams. Now the 'players' face retirement, but will make one more appearance before the fans. Two of the cars will play keepy-uppy with a giant ball in what is expected to be a memorable part of the 100 Years of Cars parade in London on Sunday, 16 July. Full Article

Zidane, who was born and grew up in Marseille, is the son of Algerian immigrants and has suffered taunts about his heritage throughout his football career. Full Article

The Klamath Yacht Club completed their annual Firecracker Regatta with two more races on Sunday. Overall, Wayne Conners said he was pleased with the overall feel of the regatta and the races on the lake. “It went great,” Conners said, “I couldn''t be happier with the way things turned out.” Conners said he was especially pleased with the weather cooperating with the plans for the weekend. “Anytime you have wind you will have a good result,” he said. The two-day event, which has been a staple of the Klamath Falls Fourth of July weekend for the last 35 years, drew 28 boats from as far away as Seattle, Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. Most of the people who come to the event are from Western and Southern Oregon, which Conners feels helps to build a sense of camaraderie among the sailors. Full Article

Is it a coupe, is it a cabriolet? Well, the answer is both because the neat folding hardtop drops into the boot, to give you the best of both worlds! Megane wasn''t the first car to offer such a clever design and it has always played catch up with the Peuegot 307 CC. However, the Megane CC (Coupe Cabriolet) was the first car in the world to have a folding glass roof and that makes it quite special. This is a decent looking car, with sleek lines and a more upmarket image than the price tag suggests. It also has the benefit of a diesel engine - a 120bhp turbodiesel that isn’t particularly quick, but does help combine practicality with fun weekend jaunts. Full Article
