5 d. ago MAD 4 1T: the obsessive collectors who pay big money for personalised number plates

Customised plates often cost more than the car – and yet the number of people queueing up to buy them is at an all‑time high. What’s the appeal?‘Well, lot number 56 created quite a buzz, ladies and gentlemen ” I’m sitting in a marquee in Chichester at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, sheltering from the summer heat.

Behind us are various astonishingly luxurious cars. One, an orange 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD Veilside Fortune Coupe, was used in the film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

8 d. ago Israel is forcing us to leave Gaza City. We know they might never let us return

The Guardian’s reporter in Gaza describes the dilemma facing her family and others, many hungry, penniless and without transportThe ninth of September is my sister Enas’s birthday, so we were happy this morning, drinking coffee as a family and telling jokes, until we saw the leaflets dropping down telling us to evacuate. So now, instead of preparing biscuits and cakes to celebrate, we are packing for another displacement.The Israeli army’s plan to occupy Gaza City sent me back to memories of the early days of the war: the tension, the terror and the psychological pressure.
