Happy new year, petrolheads! That’s right, 2020 is finally over – thankfully – and 2021 is here, bringing with it plenty of new cars to talk about.
However, with a lot on its way, it can be hard to digest every model hitting showroom floors in the new year. As an enthusiast, surely there are certain cars bound to peak interest more than others?

Last Sunday, the first episode of the new series of Top Gear aired on BBC Two. As you can imagine, I was in front of the TV the second the clock turned 8:00 to watch it. Now, here’s my quick review of the episode and what I thought of it.
So far in my life I have been lucky enough to take part in some great driving experiences. Today I thought I’d share pictures of my favourites in preparation for another one I have planned for March. I had so much fun on all of these driving experiences and I would highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, in the UK we miss out on some cars that some other countries (like the US of A) get. It’s a real shame when you hear that a new car is being released, but then you find out that the only way of acquiring one is to either import it or move abroad. With that slightly depressing thought in mind, we are now going to look at all the cars you can’t get if you live in England. Enjoy…
One of my dream cars is the 2015-2018 Ford Mustang (mainly because you can now get it in the UK). I’ve always loved Mustangs, even before Ford took them across the pond, and I’ve always loved customizing cars. So after the 2015 model was released, I started to imagine how I’d modify one. Looking around on some aftermarket websites, I found a few modifications for the 2015 onwards Mustang that I thought were pretty cool, and I’ve listed my 5 favourite ones here. They are ranked in order of must haves first to might haves last.
Yes, I know I’ve been posting about Mustangs for three posts in a row now, what with the Mustang Bullitt being announced and the Shelby GT500 being teased. However, recently there have been many images of the GT500 going around on the internet and on social media, so I thought it would be necessary to at least mention them. Now, you must know these are not leaked images, but rather renderings. The one above I think will be closest to the real thing, and here’s why…
I wanted to keep this post short and sweet, just talking a little bit about the news on the 2019 Shelby Mustang GT500 we have received. As at the time of me writing this, Ford has teased the car at the Detroit Auto Show. In the teaser video (there will be a link to it at the bottom of this post), there are a few shots of different parts of the new GT500, such as the wheels in the picture above. It was a pretty basic video, mainly to drum up some hype for the snake-badged beast’s return. Ford did want to make one thing about it very clear though…
Showcased at the Detroit Auto Show, this is the new 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt Edition. It’s a more expensive, more powerful version of the 2018 Mustang GT, though no price or performance figures have been released yet. If you don’t already know, Bullitt is an old 1968 Steve McQueen movie with a very famous car chase scene in it. This new Bullitt Edition Mustang pays homage to that chase by taking the iconic look of the classic Mustang McQueen drove in the film, and putting it on the modern Mustang. What you get from that is a very cool, retro car that you can tell is special.
1. Baby Driver.
Just before I get into this list I want to specify there is no order. All three films choices are based on my own opinion and let me tell you it was hard enough to narrow it down to just three. Anyway, onto my first film, Baby Driver. Probably the most stylish out of all the movies on this list, Baby Driver combines slick driving and action with one of the best soundtracks in cinema history.
The age-old question of which is better, American Muscle or JDM (Japanese cars), superchargers or turbochargers, power or handling. It seems like the debate has been going on for centuries upon centuries. When will we find an answer? Well actually, in my opinion, there is no answer. Here’s why…
