Ahead of the Wales Rally GB, sponsors Dayinsure have taken a rally-sped Ford Fiesta, attached it to a zip wire and sent it down Slate Mountain.

A 1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth with just 11,000 miles is heading for Silverstone Auctions in July, and is expected to fetch over £100k.

Fancy a PERFORMANCE Ford Kuga ST or Edge ST? Tough.
Despite it seeming an obvious move – and being available in the US – Ford says it won’t deliver ST Performance versions of its Kuga or Edge SUVs in the UK and Europe. With SUVs still the fastest growing sector in the new car market, it seems obvious that car makers will look to fill […]
