Are you into classic cars; real classics, like the Bentley 4 1/2 litre blower, Bugatti 35B, Ferrari GTO, and others?
Then Road Inc is a feast just waiting for you; non petrol heads, please abstain.

Now for the ACIDS test:
Aesthetics
This really is all about the cars, and allows you to concentrate on exactly that.
The home screen shows a time-line where you can pick the car that interests you, right from a 1930 Bugatti 41 Royale to a 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Having done that, the wraps are, literally, taken off.
Profile
See your newly acquired vehicle from the front/rear/side/overhead, as well as a valuation and maximum speed indication.
Showcase
This displays your car on a rotating turntable that you can spin and stop, at will, in order to admire the beauty of the beast from different angles.
Essay
Learn (or be reminded of) some interesting historical information about the vehicle in a few hundred words
Archives
This contains facsimile technical specifications, period photographs and videos (obviously some in black and white), as well as audio (absolutely brilliant).
Cost
The App costs $10.00, which might seem a lot, until you compare it to the cost of buying a decent (comparable) magazine... and there won't be any video, audio, or interactivity.
Indispensability
This really depends how much you are interested in some truly amazing cars.
Dependability
The App only works on an iPad, in landscape mode. In order to save space on your iPad, you can hide your purchase and then re-download them later... and have the pleasure of seeing the wraps coming off again.
Security
No issues.
