2011 Ford Mustang V-6 Convertible – Road Test

Published by

My first experience with a Ford Mustang was way back in the summer of 1969 when a friend of my Mum had one. She dropped the top and I can still feel the sun beating down on my head and my hair getting messed up with the wind… ahh memories! I was only 7 years old, but I still remember it like it was last year… I nagged my Dad for ages to go out and buy one, but he was sticking to driving around in a 1965 Ford Galaxy wagon that was as long as an aircraft carrier. Fast forward to 1978 and we’d just moved to Canada – fresh off the plane and what do I try and get my dad to buy? A 1978 Ford Mustang – I knew he wouldn’t keep it for long, and I would either inherit it or buy it from him. Alas, he bought another land yacht – which I inherited two years later. I still haven’t gotten around to buying my own Mustang yet, but at …

The Taurus SHO has always been about subtlety and stealth – no need to draw undue attention from the long arm of the law (or Revenue Generation Force as I like to call them).

FORD Shows Us Some Very Useful Safety Features – MyKey And Other Safety Innovations

Published by

Road Test Special  While Ford were encouraging us to put the Fiesta through its paces, they also took the opportunity to demonstrate a couple of their “exciting” new features that when I first heard about them a couple of months ago, I just discarded after reading – thinking they don’t apply to me. Upon further examination and a real-life demo I discovered I couldn’t have been more wrong. These are not only innovative, but take Ford to a new level in safety – other manufacturers are going to be scrambling to come out with their own version of these products. We’ll look at the Active Park Assist another time, but let’s start with the ingenious MyKey system….
