Thermodynamics in hell (Free subscription) | 11/24/2009
NEC 2009. In no particular order, some of the cars that caught my eye. I know there were many many more wonderfull cars, but frankly, my heart just wasn't in it this year. I felt unhappy, tired frustrated, unwell and mentally exhausted. Same as last year... I'm glad we were in for free, and if we don't get free tickets next year... We probably won't bother going. In fact... Even WITH free tickets I...

The classic car industry has been one of the few beacons of good news amid the financial doom and gloom of the recession. However, as blue-chip classics have increased in value they have had a similar effect on other classic cars as more people search for cars that they can afford. So this increased demand has seen newer cars welcomed into the classic fold, and this year’s Classic Motor Show...

Whilst I appreciate the charm and depth of a nice old house, I much prefer a modern one which has been well designed and is surrounded with other similar houses such as in a new development. It's nice to see uniform windows, doors and trimmings, rather than in a fifty year old street where 'Houseblingers' have set up shop. The art of houseblinging probably started in Essex during the 80's, whereby...

People in South Lake Tahoe recall the day a little girl disappeared 18 years ago Some knew her, others only knew of her. But they will never forget the day 18 years ago when the blonde, blue-eyed 11-year-old was snatched in broad daylight on her way to a bus stop. Her scream. A frantic sprint on a mountain bike by her stepfather up the twisted mountain road as he tried to catch up to the Ford Granada...

Are you looking for a Q-ship? Something that's quick, but runs under the radar? Well, Nice Price or Crack Pipe has a potentially ferocious Ford that only your grandma might notice. Yesterday, the poor topless REO Flying Cloud avoided further indignity, garnering an audience lighter-holding 64% Nice Price vote. However, it failed at its comeback tour due to an inability to move from the driveway. Mustangs....

The two inevitabilities in life are death and taxes. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe candidate will make sure that your eventual death won't be too taxing. It's strange enough to come across a German Ford Granada for sale in Seattle WA. But what are the odds of it having been converted into a hearse in England, or that the current owner has painted it a non-traditional Corvette yellow so loud it...

There are some parts that usually disappear within minutes of hitting a self-service junkyard. Ford Granada brakes, for example; everyone knows they'll bolt right onto a 60s Mustang. The Mustang II front suspension is another. If you're looking to modernize your street rod's handling, the Mustang II's rack-and-pinion steering and reasonably good disc brakes provide a well-worn route; it's not a particularly...
