The bouncy one with big tits and no brains, the one who got engaged to the Philadelphia Eagles player.

Ford clapped on some mighty big ones rolling out the GT, every bit the fabulous factory supercar we remember from the 60s. Heffner, noting that "balls out" means it's giving all it can, has taken the natural next step.

More balls. 900 horsepower? That sounds about right.

I feel like the GT has more purity of design than most of the recent Ferraris out there. Whereas Ferrari seems to have moved towards a rather bland design theme that's more about painting it red and putting the yellow logo on the side, the folks at Ford learned from the past, picked out all the cues that made those cars so appealing, then updated the rest.

There is a lean, sinewy elegance to the GT that just isn't on so many other cars. It doesn't have huge bulging hips just for the sake of having them. There are no huge speed-bulges, or unnecessary fender-vents. It's functional, simple, and more importantly fast. It's not the fastest car on the road, I grant you. But there is a purity of purpose I just love. It's like the Ford designers said, "make it fast, make it simple, the sex appeal will happen on its own."

And I look forward to owning one in about ten years, after enough people have listened to the retro nay-sayers to bring the value down.

This saddened me.

But then I realised that the car had a large and probably entirely arbitrary Number 4 painted on the side. I don't know if this is significant in any way, but I know someone who used to drive a Fiat Uno with a Number 4 on the side, and to be honest he was a bit of a cock.

So, Pardo, I'm still in the market, but I'll have mine without the silly number 4 on it, please.

And I'll want a good trade value for the Audi.
