  4x4s spotted in the classifieds 20 Jul 2011 (News)
  The snowy and icy weather of last winter lead to a massive increase in the number of 4x4s being bought as people sought to conquer the poor weather with all-wheel drive. With increased demand comes increased prices, though, and so people paid a premium during the colder months of the year. In much the same way, summer sees sunshine and dry roads, causing people to go mad for cabriolets, meaning sellers shift their used soft-tops more quickly and for more money.

  Hidden Heroes: Volvo 760 Turbo 26 Apr 2019 (News)
  That might not sound a lot in a modern context, but by the standards of 1985 it was immense.  Feeding that amount of power through a rear-wheel-drive 1980s executive saloon chassis might not sound like the ideal recipe for a fine handling car, but for one thing - the 760 Turbo got an all-new and highly advanced multi-link rear suspension set up, which made it stick to the road far better than it had any right to.

  Future Classic Friday: Ford Focus RS 28 Apr 2017 (News)
  The car was fitted with a limited-slip differential, but even with this concession, the RS’s propensity towards torque steer was immense. It was a hoot to drive quickly, but not a very refined experience. Drive one today and it's still a massive laugh. Even better, because it’s a Focus, It’s also much more practical than most cars with similar performance.

  A Grand Monday: Ford Mondeo Mk 1 6 Feb 2017 (News)
  It's not the best spec or engine gearbox combo - a 1.8 LX auto - but it'll still be a perfectly pleasant car to drive, and with just 75k on the clock of a car that was designed from the outset to gobble up motorway miles, it's barely run-in. It also has a very Nineties blue cloth interior with matching blue dashboard.
