Men in tights – Ford Transit Custom Sport review NZ
Maybe it’s because we’re living in a more enlightened, less judgemental (hmmm) age but going into the Windsor Park superette and asking for a pair of tights was far less of a drama than I thought it would be. Admittedly, owner Jay is a friend of mine but even so, he happily went on with […]
Ford’s nugget camper just got extended
The Ford Transit Custom Nugget is now available in a long-wheelbase version, adding even greater flexibility for adventure-loving customers (but it would seem NOT in New Zealand just yet).

A barrel of monkeys – 2020 Ford Focus ST review NZ
