Jaguar Heritage Museum to close.

Jaguar Heritage Museum to close Jaguar has decided to close the Jaguar Heritage Museum at Browns Lane as they wind down operations at the historic site. It’s less than three years since the Jaguar Heritage Museum was relaunched as a show case for the history of Jaguar cars. With 150 cars in its collection – from the first Jaguar badged car, the 1937 SS, to C-Type, D-Type and the last convertible V12 E-Type – the Jaguar Heritage Museum is a magnet for Jaguar nuts from around the world.

Ford Focus RS500 (2010) first official pictures

This is the new Ford Focus RS500, a special limited edition version of the Blue Oval’s mad Focus RS hot hatch with 15% more power. For a start there’s that extra power. Thanks to a larger air-to-air intercooler, a bigger air filter and a wider diameter exhaust downpipe (plus a new ECU to take advantage of the mechanical changes) peak power is up from 301bhp to 345lb ft at 6000rpm, while torque climbs from 325lb ft to 339lb ft. The result is a 5.6sec 0-62mph time (down three-tenths) while the top speed climbs two notches to 165mph.
