What CT Will Be Doing Now The UK's On Lockdown

It’s all rather surreal, isn’t it? As of now, most people in the UK are - like many other countries - essentially on lockdown (if you’re unfamiliar with the rules, please check here). Leaving the house is only possible for certain reasons, which makes running a car website a little different to normal.

But even though we can’t get out to drive and shoot cars, Carthrottle.com will remain very much active, bringing you a constant stream of car content to provide a bit of escapism as we all do our bit to curtail the spread of Covid-19.

Whether it’s a bit of car history you’re unfamiliar with, a buyer’s guide for a cool ride you could size up once the world returns to its normal(ish) state or a story we haven’t told before, we’ll provide new features to read every day. And if you have an idea for us, by all means, stick in the comments - we’re all ears.

The video guys, meanwhile, are busy editing footage we already have in the bag, and have some great plans to keep Car Throttle’s YouTube channel going with some content we know you’re going to love and appreciate right now.

Stay safe, be kind to each other, and we’ll see you on the other side.

I just hope everyone at the CT main office is okay and can work from home and can put out some awesome banter as normal during this lockdown period!

Really happy to read that one of my best sources of escapism in these times will continue give me a short getaway! :)

Would be really happy to do my part - I bought (ok, financed ;)) a Lotus Exige 350 last year and have driven it pretty much as a daily since. I always wanted to start writing about all the daily stuff I did with it and prove that you can totally daily a Lotus. I mean, it fits a crate of beer - what more do you really need? ;)

Have lots of pics from the last year and will start writing today or tmr and upload a first part to the community then!

Nah it was good when it got deleted. Everyone was trying to post the funniest meme or the funniest comment rather than actually contributing to the discussion.

Instead of doing an engine swap in your driveway, now do it in your livingroom.

Top ten best comments, top ten best garage adds for the month.

Maybe even somehow get the community involved with something like a meme competition or a video competition.

That would’ve worked a few years ago when I used to browse the community, but that’s completely dead now. Top 10 comments would be all of them, now. I don’t think 10 cars are even added to the garage in a month!

We’ll probably do a post about ways petrolheads can keep sane during lockdown fairly soon! Plans afoot for a video on similar lines too

App hasn’t been supported for a long time, hence why it’s been absent from the Google Play and App Store for years. Use the regular mobile site instead!

Somewhere in Wuhan someone was probably heard saying “What could go wrong?”
