4.5

Ben Oliver, 22 June 2012 12:25

I am a young executive. No cuffs than mine are cleaner; I have a Slimline briefcase and I use the firm’s Cortina. By 1982, when it finally went out of production, the Ford Cortina had enjoyed a 20-year Tescopoly on British motoring. For ten years it was Britain’s best-selling car; in its best years nearly 200,000 were sold and one ...

Day 6 - Las Vegas to LA. After our late night (!) we decide that we need a big sleep in on Sunday morning. We also come to the conclusion that we hate Las Vegas enough not to bother with the Grand Canyon – after three national parks have we become blasé? Will we regret this decision?

Ford Focus RS: yawn, says a barely bothered Ben Whitworth

Ben Whitworth, 11 January 2008 11:32

I mean 300bhp – that’s just a ludicrous amount of power and torque to put through the front wheels of any car, no matter how talented its chassis, suspension and steering set up. If the combined genius of Lotus can barely manage to ...
