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.

Kia Picanto Driven
The current Kia Picanto has been around since 2017, but last year it received a facelift and tweaks to its drivetrain. What we have here on test is a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder car with just 66bhp, claimed to be capable of 100mph (though you'd need to be going downhill,...
Jaguar F-Pace 400e PHEV driven by Brown Car Guy
I'm going to be making a very special exception in this review. Normally I don't like plug-in hybrids. What's the point? Electric cars must be plugged-in of course, but it's frankly a nuisance. Hybrids should have the advantage of self-charging. So why put up with the...
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio driven by Brown Car Guy
I first drove the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio at the launch in Italy four years ago, around the Balocco test track in Vercelli. Frankly I loved it. Instantly accessible speed, reassuring but entertaining dynamics and as for those knuckle-biting sexy looks... well...
2021 Land Rover Discovery Review by Brown Car Guy
The current Land Rover Discovery arrived in 2017 and was the first in the lineage not to use old-skool body-on-frame construction. It is now based on the same platform is its more opulent Range Rover and Range Rover Sport siblings. Which of course makes it less Farmer...
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce Reviewed by Brown Car Guy
This isn’t my first time reviewing an Alfa Romeo Stelvio. I reviewed both the 510bhp Quadrifoglio and 280bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged four cylinder when they first came out about four years ago. For the latest model year generation, the Stelvio has received a few...

Brown Car Guy drives the new Audi S3
Audi S3 Saloon Review This decent looking little Audi executive class saloon has a bit of a wild streak. Note the ‘S’ ahead of the 3 rather than ‘A’. That means it has 310bhp, Quattro all-wheel drive and 0-62mph in under five seconds! Thanks to a turbo 2.0-litre...

McLaren 620R driven by Brown Car Guy
About as hardcore as a road car can get, superb at the right place and time says Shahzad Sheikh If you've only just managed to get your head around McLaren's unique model range structure, go full face-palm now, because the arrival of recent new offerings from the...
