This Just In: New on the Net

There’s an old joke here in Seattle that begins: "What do you call a sunny day after two days of rain?" The punchline? Monday. But the weather over the weekend was actually pretty nice, which made the wet commute into work almost bearable. Anyway, here’s the news:

  • Tata Motors just bought Jag and Land Rover, but apparently the company still has some cash burning a hole in it’s pocket. Rumors are swirling that it might pick up Italian motorcycle maker MV Agusta. Autoblog
  • On Behind the Music, Billy Idol related how he got busted cheating on his wife after she heard one of his phone calls over their baby monitor. So Porsche boss Wendelin Wiedeking justifiably hit the ceiling when he found one in his hotel room ahead of a meeting with VW’s board. Jalopnik
  • The new Ford Focus ST is set to go on sale in the UK on May 1st, and with 224 horsepower, it should be a blast to drive. Why doesn’t the Blue Oval offer cool stuff like that over here? CarScoop
  • Of course, we don’t want to see everything in the UK make it to our shores. Motorists across the pond can’t be too happy about the wireless speed cameras being tested. Auto Express
