If you have a Ford Mustang, it deserves the best care that you can give it, and that includes good maintenance. Although owning a Mustang is a privilege, it can also pose some problems because of the number of changes that have taken place practically every year since that famous day in April, 1964, when it was released to the world. Forget the demo models that were displayed at the various grand prix circuits from 1962; it was 1964 that can truly be regarded as the birth of the Ford Mus... more...

If you want to buy your Ford Mustang online at a great price, you have to do so with your eyes wide open.

That goes with any car, let alone a pony car, and while it is easy to but online from... more...

Transporting a vehicle over a long distance such as during an interstate move is a nerve-wracking experience. It is even more traumatic when you are shipping a classic sports car or other valuable vehicle. In addition to the cost, such automobiles often have sentimental value that makes them irreplaceable.

In New York, Chicago and Miami owners of new and used Mini\'s are signing up for a new gimmick of personalised billboard messages displayed at the road side. A radio chip embedded within the key fob sends a coded signal to the billboard that you are approaching and messages will flag up, dependent on the information the driver has supplied in a questionnaire. Examples are \'Hi Kate, nice day for your convertible\'. There have been complaints that Mini key fobs do not... more...

However, I have the best mum in the world and she\'s lent me the money to go to the pub. I drive down and pick the best spot in the car park... more...

In 1969, being a poor college student, I still dreamed of owning a Pontiac GTO. I was working part time in the mail room of an oil company when I had the opportunity to buy a royal blue 1967 GTO.

Inside the pilot compartment was a Hurst 4 on the floor shifter. I started that engine up and man did it purr. It didn\'t ... more...

The Stig is the unidentified test driver of vehicles on the favourite BBC Sunday night programme, Top Gear. So far unbeaten, The Stig\'s laptimes are breathtaking. However, he came very close to being beaten last Sunday by Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton performed a lap in 1 minute 44.6 seconds in wet, oily conditions. This came in at a mere .2 of a second behind The Stigs 1 minute and 44.4. And his performance was in dry conditions. Lewis Hamilton has thrown down t... more...
