  Happy Birthday: Ford Ka 17 Oct 2016 (News)
  Today, the Sunderland-born designer heads up the exterior styling team at Ford’s US headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, such is the respect that Ford’s senior management had for his execution. At launch, the Ka polarised opinions.

  What Effect is a £2,000 Scrappage Scheme Likely to Have? 21 Apr 2009 (News)
  On top of which I don’t entirely agree that scrapping a perfectly good 1999S Mondeo (Warranty Direct’s most reliable 10 year old car) will benefit the environment, or society in general.
