In February 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show, Mazda pulled the wraps off a lightweight, affordable sports car that would go on to be the biggest-selling two-seater convertible in history. The Mazda MX-5. Standing for Mazda Experiment and project number 5, the MX-5 went through seven years of heavily critiqued design, engineering and testing before being given the production green light. It eventually went on sale in the UK on 14 March 1990, priced at £14,249. That day was also when we published our full road test of the affable sports car. Powered by a 1.6-litre inline four cylinder engine putting out 114bhp at 6500rpm, enabling a 0-60mph dash in 9.1sec and topping out at 114mph, the MX-5 was never about searing pace, as Autocar wrote back in the day. “If you’re expecting a Mazda MX-5 to set you alight, you’re in for a disappointment. But as with everything the MX-5 does, it’s not the result but the participation that puts a smile on your face. “This is the two-seat roadster that car enthusiasts have been screaming for since the demise of the old Lotus Elan. It also has the two ingredients essential in any sports car powerplant: instant throttle response and an invigorating exhaust note.” The real ace up the MX-5's sleeve proved to be its five-speed manual gearbox. “Rising no more than a couple of inches from the transmission tunnel, the well-weighted gear lever snaps through its tiny throws with millimetric precision,” we mused. Allied to pin-sharp handling and spectacular balance to flaunt its 950kg kerb weight, it allowed the driver plenty of mid-corner adjustability. “The MX-5 is a total success. Mazda’s single-minded determination to provide fun has produced a car of the rarest quality. Above all else, it is its ability to involve the driver intimately in its every reaction and response that makes it a joy to drive. Few others, at any price, can offer so much.” In 1997, the second-generation MX-5 arrived, sans pop-up headlights of the original – due to safety regulations – and with an extra 115kg of mass due to its sleeker look. The 1.6-litre unit was joined by a new 140bhp 1.8-litre motor to counteract the extra bulk, enabling 0-62mph in 7.8sec and a top speed of 130mph. That model was a sales smash. Throughout its life, the second-generation received a facelift and more kit. The output of both the 1.6- and the 1.8-litre engines were boosted and buyers could enjoy a six-speed manual gearbox. It would go on to develop even more of a reputation for rust in its later years than the car it replaced, but a handful of special editions and the same dynamic handling as its forebear would ensure many still see regular use on UK roads.

Michael Joseph Jackson is regarded as one of the greatest entertainers in the history of music. Born on August 29, 1958, the American singer, songwriter, and dancer po[CENSORED]rized the moonwalk which became synonymous to him. Dubbed the "King of Pop", Jackson's contributions to music, dance, and style, influenced artists of various genres. Jackson enjoyed global presence with his trademark red zippered jacket and sequin gloves, which defied convention in fashion. Jackson is the recipient of 13 Grammy Awards including the Grammy Legend. He was also honoured with six Brit Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and holds 39 Guinness World Records to his name. On June 25, 2009, Jackson died from a cardiac arrest. On Jackson’s death anniversary, here’s looking at some top trend-setting moments of his life: Dangerously stylish The hat, the sleek tie and that perfectly tailored suit completed with curly locks. The sound of it strikes just one name in the head and that is MJ. The artist’s original aesthetic sensibilities made this style his and his own only. Like a glove While musicians and other celebrated artists in the past have been responsible for setting and starting trends, MJ’s was truly like no other. The King of Pop was given the name rightly so as he wore sparkly gloves with sheer panache. One could like or hate it, but never ignore that one bedazzled glove. Era of the eyeliner It won’t be wrong to say that Jackson had his own kingdom of not just music; he was truly a bonafide fashion icon. Jackson’s quintessential touch up of eyeliner set off a massive trend. Just how he got that edge to his style, had fans floored for his looks. Rock and roll out of traditional Be it skinny jeans, buckles, slick leather jacket, in-the-face bling or just matching fedora, Jackson’s life had never seen a moment off from the fashion department. Remember those signature embellished costumes he wore during stage shows or even in his videos?There was, there is and there will be no other, who can pull that off the way he did. Smooth criminal Jackson's flair for the unexpected was seen from his childhood when he had that identifying hairstyle. His sartorially wild choices, like his music, were groundbreaking and fearless. He streaked with bold combinations and his hair was always the kind to scream "look at me."

A huge cloud of Saharan dust has darkened the skies over parts of the Caribbean. The dust has been moving from Africa over the Atlantic Ocean. On Sunday it reached Puerto Rico and has since covered Cuba and parts of Mexico. The Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique are suffering their worst haze for at least a decade, and health officials in Cuba are warning it could increase respiratory problems. The dust cloud is also affecting parts of southern Florida, including the city of Miami. 'Unusually large area of dust' Analysis by BBC Weather presenter Simon King Dust and sandstorms are not uncommon in the desert regions of the world. Winds can whip the dust - up to 2,000 million tonnes every year - high up into our atmosphere and it gets transported many miles away from the source. The dust and sand provide a source of nutrients for ocean ecosystems but can also affect the weather and the health of humans with respiratory problems. Dust coming off the Sahara into the Atlantic is a common occurrence and is known as the Dry Air Saharan Layer. Later in the hurricane season it can inhibit the growth of tropical storms developing around Cape Verde and the mid-Atlantic. Over the last week however we've had an unusually large area of dust travelling right across the Atlantic affecting Central and North America. This is going to hang around over the weekend. Meanwhile another large area of dust has been seen on satellite images moving out of the Sahara and travelling across the Atlantic. Poor visibility and air quality is forecast to continue in parts of the Caribbean and Central America over the coming week. On Sunday, it was the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, which saw its hillside neighbourhoods shrouded in haze. Tourists in San Juan in Puerto Rico got more sand than they had bargained for on Monday.
