for those of you who remember the originals 1970s top trumps i spotted a rolls royce camargue in a park lane car park, i spotted a foxtons mini this week, very rare in the current economic climate

the last r8 i saw i was fortunate enough to be behind the wheel on a proper track with another r8 and a few other supercars, if you ever get the chance to drive one jump at it awsome piece of kit

Went to check out the new fiesta the other day as I'm helping my mum choose her next car. For a small fairly cheap car I was really quite impressed with how it looked inside and out. The exterior was quite chunky and even sporty. The interior was stylish, nice seats and centre consol (supposedly modelled on a mobile phone). Only real negative was the silver plastic looked cheap. Not at all bad considering you can get £1,900 off list price of a Zetec 1.6 TDCI ordered on-line (an unbelievable £5,400 off the Focus Zetec 1.6 TDCI - Sign of the times I guess).

Economy figures are impressive 1.6 TDCi Econetic - 76.3mpg, 98g/km so free road tax
The standard 1.6 and 1.4 TDCi - 67.3mpg and 110g/km

It's available in some really funky colours - my mum was sold on this Hot Magenta
