What's the fascination of motorcars? Young ex-car thieves and Colin James, a custom-car builder, plus the Ford Mustang owners of High Wycombe all attempt to explain. Cars also bring pollution and overcrowding on our roads, so is the car still such 'a beautiful toy'?

Constructing an alpine rock garden in the greenhouse and showing how to propagate alpines is right up John Kelly 's street, while in the shrub border Geoff Hamilton demonstrates how to take hard-wood cuttings - and if you would like to grow autumn-sown sweet peas and to contribute to the Band Aid Charity at the same time then there's information on how to do so. Winter can be a time of little or no colour in the garden but Margaret Waddy has other ideas - with winter hanging baskets, tubs, and a range of pansies which will flower throughout the winter period and create splashes of colour in any garden.

The Rothmans Grand Prix The Quarter-finals
STEVE DAVIS V ALEX HIGGINS was the prospect for one of tonight's matches. JIMMY WHITE was a big favourite too, but his likely opponent was much harder to find thanks to some giant-killing by the qualifiers. Could it be
STEPHEN HENDRY , still the youngest professional, or MARK BENNETT in only his second major tournament? DAVID VINE has the answers as he cues the frames at Reading's Hexagon.
