Ford has confirmed the high performance version of its Ranger pickup truck will be coming to the UK.
The Ranger Raptor is powered by a new twin-turbo 2.0 diesel engine that puts out 210bhp and 500NM of torque. It will go on sale in Britain next summer.... Read more
Any system of control requiring teh driver to look at a screen to control something in a car is inherently unsafe.. HUDs in aircraft say so. Read more
If you don't like touch screens (I don't) avoid any review of the Tesla 3 - the only buttons are on the huge screen on the dash.
The controls even for basic ventilation are far too involved to be used whilst actually driving....
Have the importer behind the Great Wall Steed pick up stopped selling them in the UK?
Any idea who the importer was?

I just wish they would deal with those who travel in convoy in lane 2 (now a 3 point offence). If I so-called undertake in lane 1 doing 70, not undertaking as no lane change, I cannot be done and their "evidence" will be used against them. Since when do middle lane hoggers move over anyway?
Fashion fades and if Ford do terminate the Mondeo, in due course they may find themselves wrong footed...perhaps they have some non public plans to keep R&D going, ready if needed to bring us this D sector size car, if/when the buyers tire of suv shaped vehicles. Read more
When buyers tire of SUVs? I'm tired already!
To be replaced by the Camry a slightly bigger more expensive saloon with hybrid power only. Not much point even bothering really. Read more

Re: rugby season registration, were you thinking (as I was) of the possible RUGBY (RU68Y..) registrations that might be popping up soon? If I happened to be in the market for a cherished plate, I'd probably have to end the sequence with something dull like OK, UK, GB or maybe WC. Any other thoughts?
My S-i-L wants me to help her find a new car. She currently drives our old Renault Modus and after seeking advice on here and elsewhere the consensus is the ix20 should be ideal. She is going to her local dealer tomorrow for a test drive to be sure it ticks all the boxes (high driving position, good boot space and capable of seating 4).
She only does 5k miles a year so that means petrol. She's also keen on an automatic which means it's the 1.6 engine or nothing.... Read more
Despite being tempted with a very good PX offer, I'm sticking with my Venga too. I find the stonic/kona smaller inside and even with £4000 off list i can't justify it.
Still 3.5 years warranty and still 2 prepaid services from the Kia care service pack....
why not?
