Caravans

Very amusing piece on BBC news about their discovery that an MP was being paid by the Caravan Club and asking questions about caravans and the Olympics.

It was a long piece and they had got somebody to drive a Jeep across Westminster Bridge so they could get the House in the background. There must have been a convenient turnaround somewhere because the same car and carvan drove past about six times!

Car launches

Jeremy  Clarkson: “Unlike most motoring journalists, I do not attend ritzy, champagne-drenched, club-class car launches in exotic hotels in faraway places.

Alan Salter: “I’ll have his place, then.”

Ford Mondeo

Just back from testing a group of Fords. Star of the show was supposed to be the new 4×4 Kuga but the Mondeo with a new 2.2 diesel engine stole the show for me. I thought it was a brilliant car when they launched in Sardinia last year and the thrill of driving it hasn’t faded. Superb!
