The Daily Telegraph looks back at 2005The Motoring section of the Daily Telegraph offers a uniquely British (and thoroughly hilarious) look back at the best and worst of 2005, or as they put it, "Classics and Clangers."

A couple of highlights:

Best use of squirrel to model haircut on a motor industry chief: Ford North America boss, Mark Fields (pictured).

Best use of £100 of super-unleaded in 12 minutes: driving a Bugatti Veyron at 253mph. Twelve minutes is how long it takes to empty the 100-litre (22-gallon) tank at that speed.

Lots more here.
