    05 Mustang on Top gear UK TV tonite

    It has just screened an hour ago. It was an ok report, the little guy (Richard Hammond) did the drive in a silver auto GT. The usual quips about US car handling & then a jab at the live rear end. But he warmed to the car & it came out well overall, great value & stunning looks were...

I have always worked in the motor trade in the UK & get a new car (Jeep) every 3 months or so. The new one always feels gutless compared with the (identical)...

    Inferiority Complex of German Journalists

    Most of the reports I have read in UK magazines over in England have been full of praise for the S197 (it is not going to be officialy sold here). Usually US cars get a rough time from UK writers but the new pony seems to have captured their imagination (despite the lack of IRS!) The new...

    England bound V8 GT Coupe !

    I have been looking into doing the same thing, been e-mailing dealers in the NY NJ area & intended to ship it out of Jersey. Is your dealer taking care of shipment to the port? I was considering ordering a car then flying over when it arrives to collect it in person. Then comes the...
