The Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin is the world's first high-performance sport-utility truck (SUT). We're looking to take Ford performance to an entirely new market segment with the Sport Trac Adrenalin," says Steve Lyons, vice president, Ford Motor Company and president, Ford Division. "Adrenalin is designed to offer a unique combination of performance and functionality.

Adrenalin has combined the best attributes of two breakthrough Ford vehicles - Ford SVT F-150 Lightning and Ford Explorer Sport Trac. It also offers class-leading technologies, including all-wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission and Ford's industry-leading AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control(TM). It offers four full-sized doors, four bolstered bucket seats, and a four-foot composite box with 30 percent more cargo capacity than the current Explorer Sport Trac.

"We have a very clear view of what we want to do to retain Ford's leadership in performance vehicles," says Phil Martens group vice president, Product Creation. "This includes looking beyond traditional SVT products for opportunities with unique performance attributes, such as all-wheel-drive." The Sport Trac Adrenalin delivers searing acceleration with its 4.6-liter, 32-valve DOHC V-8 power train. A Roots-type supercharger and water-to-air intercooler boost output to a whopping 390 horsepower and 390 pounds-feet of torque.


















Ford Fiesta

The new 2011 Ford Fiesta is almost here. The car will be available for purchase in the United States coming in the summer of 2010, however it's already a huge hit on the Internet. The 60-second television ad made its debut on May 18, 2010 during American Idol and two social media programs online have already made this car a star. The hype surrounding the Fiesta is unlike any other, and it's all thanks to the many ad campaigns promoting it. In the center of the massive broadcast, print, and digital ad campaign is the tagline, "It's a pretty big deal."

The introduction of the 2011 Fiesta started with the Fiesta Movement last year. One hundred Fiesta agents spent six months in the plush interior seats, behind the wheel of a Fiesta hoping to show why the Fiesta is better than its competition. The agents completed a variety of monthly missions to show the public why the Fiesta is a car worth having. After driving over a million miles and streaming their experiences, the Fiesta Movement was 4.3 million YouTube views deep, had over 540,000 Flickr views and had more than 3 million Twitter impressions.

The question should be why would you restore a classic car, not can you repair a classic car. You answer your own question, which ever way you say it, and it's very easy to answer.

To answer the question for me at least it goes back to when I first started to drive. The new cars that I learnt to drive in were the mk2 ford escorts lovely cars at the time. But compared to today's cars there is no comparison the cars were basic and no refinement about them, but its what driving is all about.

The first car that I bought was in 1978 it was a Vauxhall viva sl90 and it was all mine and it was the best car on the road well I thought so. What I would give now to find one and restore it why did I ever sell it. Because you don't think a head to when your older and the cars that you owned when you were younger are the cars that you want to have in your garage to take out on a sunny day. That would be so good.

So why would you repair a classic car well for the love of it to bring back your youth as the saying goes they don't make them like they used to well its true, it's like buying a house a lot of people buy a house with character its the same with classic cars you have got to want to do it and have the time to do so when the kids have grown up you can nip into the garage and have some fun. After all who doesn't think about the cars that they grew up with I had the Vauxhalls my mates had fords remember the anglia, escorts, cortina's mk1 &mk2 capri's and whole lot more.If you go to a car show which one stands out. For me its the immaculate classic car not the popular family car after all we are all kids at heart and lets face it who wants to grow up.
