Famous family reminds parents of teen driving responsibility

Parents are legally and financially responsible for teens once they get behind the wheel, and no one knows that better than former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan. In 2007, Nick Bollea, the son of Hogan (born Terry Bollea), made news when he was arrested for reckless driving after a near-fatal accident. Nick Bollea was reportedly racing his friend from light to light in a 1998 Toyota Supra owned by him and his father, while his friend Daniel Jacobs was driving Hogan's 2003 Dodge Viper.

Ford Cortina: 50 years ago today…

Ford are celebrating 50 years since the first Ford Cortina was launched and changed the car landscape forever. The Ford Cortina went on to sell an impressive 4.3 million during its twenty year life, eventually turning in to the Ford Sierra and then in to the Ford family car of today – the 2013 Ford Mondeo (which, interestingly, can be had with the 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine – smaller even than the 1200cc of that first Cortina). That first Cortina was the start of Ford’s dominance of the UK car market, leading to an unbroken run of 35 years as the best selling car brand with most of the Cortinas, almost 3 million of them, built at Dagenham – in the days Ford actually built cars here.
