In this new series, I pick up on interesting cars that I’ve seen from the movies – whatever the genre, whatever the motor. I’ll take a look at them for a number of reasons, whether the car is rare, culturally important or simply an icon. For this first in the series, I’ve chosen the Ford […]
Apparently, New York state is seeking a new form of transport for the masses who go private hire, as the current taxi is uneconomical and uncomfortable. The Ford Crown Victoria may be iconic, but it’s also a bit of a joke, coming in at 12 MPG just isn’t acceptable any more, unless your car has […]
The exciting next-generation Ford Focus ST makes its global debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, providing an early preview of the new high-performance model which will be introduced around the world in 2012. This is a car that Ford will be making available to the whole world – so that means it has to […]
The very first Focus RS500 has become an icon and the very first model, PR001, is set to join the company’s heritage collection. This means that the car will be shown at a variety of shows as well as at certain Ford dealers throughout the year. The PR001 is representative of a very small run […]
Why does the Ford Mondeo continue to prove such a popular car on Britain’s roads?

Just how good is this final swan song for the final Ford Focus of this generation going to be? Well, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be very special indeed. Just take a look at the video above and see what you think. Imagine having that following you on a B road late at night! […]
Ford has won two BBC Top Gear awards this year for two extraordinary cars. The first, the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, is Ford’s lowest CO2 emitting model, producing only 98g/km, snapping up the “Green Car of the Year” Award. Of course, that’s not the only reason that it took the prize. It’s a nimble, attractive piece […]
General Motors have stated that they have until the end of August to ship off Saab to a Swedish consortium (if this is old news to you, then let me explain – GM is another ‘victim’ of the global credit crunch and is now looked after by Mr Obama), so the future of the brand […]
I’m sure that all of you WRC fans are happy to hear that Ford confirmed continued commitment to the sport prior to Rally Finland. We can only hope that Subaru returns to join them too (given the low-profile and much derided hatch version of the Impreza it can only do them good).
