More accurate MPG tests; The revival of the classic red phone box
A more accurate test to make sure you better know the MPG achieved by a new car, the risks of investing in crowd funded technology projects, and a new use for the red phone box.
New, more accurate tests are being introduced to tell you how many miles per gallon you might get from a new car.
The risks and rewards of "crowd funding" - we'll hear how backers are still empty handed, three years after shelling out a hundred thousand pounds.
And the smallest businesses on the high street, setting up shop in old red telephone boxes.
Presenter: Peter White
Producer: Mike Young.
