OUR ISSUES SO FAR:

HEADINGS ARE OVERRATED

*the only magazine that has a happy ending*

It has been an admittedly slow week for news around the world, or at least new stories have not popped up. So what did we learn last month?

-Starbucks, Costa and Café Nero iced drinks could contain Human Waste
-4th of July in the U.S.A
-Donald Trump tweets edited video of him fighting 'fake news' CNN
-Ferrari-Ford Feud that rocked the 60s

So lets start with the first story...

Costa, Starbucks and Café Nero could contain human waste
Costa, Starbucks and Café Nero are huge franchises that are known all over the world. It turns out, after a BBC Panorama Investigation a large amount of all iced drinks could contain human waste. The say that workers might not be washing their hands after going to the toilet then handling their ice machines. Which, lets admit, is pretty gross.

But dont let this put you off, go get that iced frappe or iced berry lemonade and enjoy the summer heat, which here in the UK is unbareable.

4th of July in the U.S.A

So today was the day that America became indipendent as the 13 colonies, creating a United States of America that would be a superpower.

Fireworks, food and celebrations to be expected in the states. Hard work and a normal evening to be expected everywhere else.

Trump posts video showing him fighting 'fake news'

So i promised not to be biased on this one, But it will be very hard. Trump: the property mogul now president who thinks global warming isnt real, Syrian airbases are target ranges and that muslims should be banned, is launching his attack on fake news. Starting with this BRUTAL post against CNN, who POTUS thinks is broadcasting fake news.

trump punches CNN in the face. Hard.
The original video, filmed in 2007, was of Donald Trump at a wrestling match that he got involved in, a reddit user edited this to CNN and the man loved it. Its entertaining, its risky, its petty. Its Donald Trump in a nutshell

FERRARI-FORD FEUD THAT ROCKED THE 60s
Its an uplifting story whichever side you support. We hope you enjoy as it took many hours to write.

1963. Kennedy was assasinated, the Beatles released their dirst album and automotive history was made. Heres the story of the Ferrari-Ford Feud.

Enzo Ferrari, the little angry Italian who built Ferrari from the ground up, had agreed to let Ford buy Ferrari. Ford came to Italy armed with officials and lawyers and it was agreed that they would sign documents. It goes well until Enzo Ferrari spots a part of the contract that says Ford get the motorsport side of Ferrari and all hell breaks loose.

After some shouting in Italian and refusal to sign Enzo Ferrari simply walks out and says to his employee "lets eat" and from that Ford goes back to Detroit furious and Ferrari goes back to developing.

Ford however decide that to get Ferrari back for this incident would be a humiliating defeat at Le Mans, trouble is- the race is just a few months away. They develop a car in a rush in a storage unit and from that the legendary GT40 was born, or rather the GT by todays name. The car was unstable at high speeds and the test driver claimed it was horrible.


a ford between two ferrari cars. 1964

The race goes badly for Ford. Ferrari claim a 1-2-3 win and Ford engineers are angrier than ever. They develop the car more in hopes it will survive 1965 Le Mans with a win. Most of the GT40s crashed.

Ford put their best man on the job of beating Ferrari. Carroll Shelby, the genius behind the AC Cobra and the Mustang, is put in charge of the Le Mans car.

The race goes like last time and Ferrari gains another 1-2-3 win amazingly. Henry Ford II is close to giving up and tensions are high.

The 1966 GT40 was improved hugely. It had better components and was more reliable. The Ferrari team however stuck to what they knew and created yet anothe beautiful car that was light.

Race day, 1966. John Surtees, Ferrari's best driver leaves just a while before the race over an argument and Ford is armed with 8 cars. Ferrari has just two. The race is tense for the whole 24 hours and it looks like Ferrari could win.

Ford, and their GT40 car however pushed on through heavy crashes on the track, pressure from the teams and the intense night driving. It pays off. The two Ferrari P2 cars crash trying to keep in contact with the meaty and fast GT40s. all they had to do is win.

Ford get the 1-2-3 win.

This bought us the greatest rivalry in motorsport history and is a true reminder that if you do not succeed you should try again. This rivalry gave us some of the finest cars from both teams in the world. Such as the Ford GT and the Ferrari that came after the P2.

There was one quote we remember from this race, one that would shake motorsport for years.

"Go Like Hell"
