So what's the cheapest new Ford money can buy? Pat on the back if you answered Ford Ka, shake of the head if you didn't (the answers even in the article title!) Yes after a staggering 13 years, the Ka is still going strong, but now it's had a makeover... To...

There are some cars that are instantly gorgeous and they usually originate from Italy, where flair and passion far outweigh mundane real-life situations like reliability. There are a few European cars popping up that have a subtle beauty that may very well pass you by until someone points out they...

It's amazing what people will do if they feel it is socially acceptable. For example auditioning to be locked in a house for three months surrounded by cameras is the gateway to 'stardom', jumping off a tall building to your imminent death before a piece of cloth catches the air...

If you could find out the exact date of your death would you want to know? I mean if you knew that you would live to 95 you could take things easy, spread out everything you wanted to achieve and see and accomplish everything. The downside of course is that...

I never used to make New Year resolutions. The dream of owning a Ford GT was never more likely to happen if I made it my resolution to get one and the mundane day-to-day stuff seemed so in control to me that I didn't feel I needed to change anything....

I have many fond memories of my school days. You see by cunningly playing sports, music and talking too much in class, I managed to transcend different social groups and in turn the bullies that preyed on kids from one particular group seemed to pass me by. What I don't...
