  just-auto: "The European Commission recently mandated the use of daytime running lights for newly-registered vehicles.

  A Grand Monday: Ford Sierra Mk1 7 Sep 2015 (News)
  Yet despite its humble underpinnings (live rear axle, rear-wheel-drive and Pinto engine), there’s no denying that the slippery Sierra was one of the cars that truly redefined the direction of car design.

  Comment: You never forget your first car 19 Dec 2016 (News)
  But I don't think it is. My love for that little car set me on a lifelong trajectory to make a living out of doing what I loved. Be that writing about cars, working on cars or even buying and selling them, all of which have given me a huge amount of satisfcation over the years, and still do.

  A Grand Monday: Ford Scorpio Ultima 24 Jul 2017 (News)
  Indeed, road testers of the day compared its handling capabilities to those of a contemporary BMW. In many respects, then, the Scorpio wasn't a bad car. There was very little sense in buying one new thanks to ridiculous levels of depreciation (the looks, again, didn't help), so the vast majority were sold into fleets and covered high mileages. As a result, few have survived.

  This may seem far too small and underpowered for a supposed performance hatch, but the 1.4 TSI has a little secret hidden under its engine cover. It’s fitted with a turbocharger AND a supercharger which means it develops 180PS – a mighty figure for such a small engine. And with a kerbweight of around 1250kg it’s a right little rocket with a 0-62mph time of 7.3 seconds.
