Despite there being no pictures of food, we are trying to make you a bit hungry. Hungry for Jamie Oliver’s cooking, with the odd celebrity thrown in, programme every Friday Night on Channel 4. What excites us though is the presence of a Ford Capri.
Capris are few and far between these days unless you catch the repeats of The Professionals and Minder on ITV4. Yes Free Car Mag spends far too much time watching telly, but we love the old programmes when, without a hint of health and safety, a Capri would be sent screeching sideways. So for no good reason at all, apart from the fact that Jamie has a 3000GT, we celebrate the Ford Capri.
Otherwise we have the usual quota of Brit muscle, Jaguar, Aston and Bentley, plus we fall in love with the OMOLOGATO® Laguna Seca watch which is a limited edition, so hurry. Meanwhile we are off to cook a Jamie stir fry and watch some telly. Ideally with a Capri in it.

BYD Dolphin Review – A Splash of Affordable Electric Driving
In the ever-evolving world of electric vehicles, BYD has dived into the market with its latest offering, appropriately enough called, the Dolphin. This all-electric C-segment hatchback is making waves with its affordable starting price of just £26,000. One of the...
VW ID.Buzz Review – from Hippy to Hipster
Everyone remembers the original Volkswagen Campervan, Minibus, Transporter, Type 2, to pick just three of its names. I say remembers, but some of its adopted keepers may not remember it because of, let’s say, recreational substances they might have been using, in fact...
BMW i7 xDrive60 M Sport
Look past that infamous elongated signature BMW kidney grille and this might well be the most elegant and handsome BMW 7 Series since the late 1990s E38 iteration of the flagship. The latest G70 looks the part, although the shock of just how humongous this thing is,...
Hyundai Ioniq 6 Reviewed
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 broke the mould with its retro-futuristic styling that fused imposing boxy lines with charismatic angles and detail touches like matrix lighting. The family SUV was going to be a hard act to follow. To go one-up in terms of number sequence, ie...
Toyota GR86 Review
Don’t bother reading this review. This car won’t appeal to you. At least that’s what the market research must be telling the car industry. Apparently, nobody wants small, fun, front-engined, rear-driven, impractical sports cars, powered by an ‘old-fashioned’ petrol...
Hyundai Ioniq 5 – nod to the past, glimpse of the future
When the Hyundai Ioniq 5 was introduced just over a year ago, jaws dropped. This all-new, all-electric crossover referenced Hyundai’s inaugural production car, and indeed South Korea’s first car, the Pony, from 1975. Squint and you’ll recognise the proportions and...
2023 Suzuki Swace Review
This is the brand new 2023 Suzuki Swace. You’re looking at the pictures on this page and thinking one or both of two things: a) that it looks exactly like the previous Suzuki Swace and/or b) it looks a lot like a Toyota Corolla Estate. Frankly you’re right on both...
Lexus RX350h 2023 Road Test with Kiran
In issue 100 of Free Car mag, we road tested Lexus’ entry level baby SUV, the ‘UX’ (Read here: https://shorturl.at/mnENW). This month we are behind the wheel of its eldest brother, the ‘RX,’ the biggest SUV Lexus makes for the UK market. Our test car was the RX 350h...
BMW i4 M50 Electric Sports Saloon
The BMW i4 is essentially the full electric version of the 4 Series. The M50, which I reviewed at Millbrook Proving Ground last year (which is to say I got to drive it hard around the close road circuit), is the top dog. Pretty much the M4 of BMW’s i-series saloons....
2023 Ford Ranger Raptor Review
This thing makes no sense in the world we live in. We desperately want one! Do you need a truck? Probably not. Will you drive off road, actually, the question should be, will you frequently drive like a bat-out-of-hell on rough terrain? Unlikely. Is it smart to have a...
