@Matt, I don't currently have the detailed breakout handy, but seem to remember that both were mid- pack. Ford even sold around 900 Rangers, IIRC, which isn't bad for a truck that's been discontinued.

@MA, thanks for the suggestion, and I'll begin doing so with July's numbers.

@Damien, I don't see Jaguar doing the same. The F-Type is an important step back towards Jaguar's roots, and as long as the car is priced correctly it should be a hit.

@WizardsLore, do police in Australia give you any latitude in regards to speeding? Here, the mostly-true saying for interstate driving is "Nine is fine, but ten (mph over) and you're mine."

@WizardsLore, when I first started driving, U.S. interstate highways were posted at 55 mph, so driving cross-country seemed to take forever. Today the maximum speed varies by state, and FL is (mostly) a 70 mph state. I can generally make the 330 miles to Miami in under five hours, without fear of losing my license.

Good to see you back, by the way. Were you on holiday? Walkabout?

@Ted, I'd say "follow the money." If Ecclestone wants a temporary street circuit in London, it likely means he'll make more money from it.

@Ted, there are specialty schools for just about everything here. I'd start by looking for a stunt driving school, and if that search proved futile I'd look for a rally driving school.

@Ted, I'd expect Ford to roll out tech like this on new versions of its range-topping sedans and SUVs first, before it trickles down to other cars. Unfortunately, it's not a system that can be retrofit to existing cars.

@Enzo, hell no, even if I had that kind of cash. I'd buy a Singer Design 911 and spend the $300k leftover on track days.

@Cruz, congratulations, and it's good to hear that not every dealership is marking the FR-S up. Do I even need to tell you that you're going to love the car?
