Same here, really. I've certainly had more Fords than anything else, 
though all have been Euro Ford (Sierra, Escort III RS Turbo, and now a 
Focus), interspersed with assorted Fiat, Vauxhall and a long wheel base 
Landrover Series 2b

Yes, I thought so. There is quite a bit of stuff out on the net about the 
Fireballs 1 and 3. The other car I'd like to see is the Rover Jet-1. It 
was built in 1950, so is the world's first jet-powered road car: the 
Firebird 1 appeared in 1953.

And, do you know about the Rover-BRM, which ran at Le Mans in 1963 and 
1965. I didn't. Its quite a beast, still exists and is being restored to 
a roadworthy state. Here's a road test. Well worth a read.....
