#137 Shooting breaks and supercars. The Ferrari FF 4x4. Will it be as good as an Aston Martin Rapide or even a RenaultSport Mégane in the snow? Gordon Murray’s T25/27 who should build it? Plus all-new music from Michael Cumming - “The Ferguson Formula”.

MICHAEL CUMMING - FERGUSON FORMULA (FF)

CHORUS
I got the Ferguson Formula
Front like an Iso, back like a bubble
I got the Ferguson Formula
You can’t catch me, I’m like $*#t off a shovel
(alternate with: You don’t touch me unless you are looking for trouble)

VERSE 1
Foot down on the pedal, doing a ton out of Spaghetti
Rear view is a clear view – so you can see me move
Got an 8 Track, Brum Beat, fast track machete
And ELO are playing those Birmingham Blues

CHORUS

VERSE 2
A Brasinca Uirapuru with a grip like a tractor
A six-litre rumble in an Italian suit
Hotter than a fast-back-breeder-reactor
Big bad man-car (with the great smell of Brut)

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Showing off, always on – very, very, Mid-Atlantic
Flirty, strong and thirsty
Got control for my cruise (FF)
Hot seat dressed in leather,
Now, you’re drivin’ me frantic
A four wheel formulation that I just can’t refuse (FF)

CHORUS

MID 8
10 miles to the gallon
Coolest car they ever made,
Cheap fuel in Nineteen Seventy-One
When I’m in it, I’m Dave Hill from Slade

(Nah, Dave had a CV-8)

CHORUS

VERSE 4
Torqueflight - out of sight
A 70s Quattro
A West Brom bomb
Wins over Victor,
Cooler than a Zepher
This Jensen’s on the button
Not just an Interceptor.

On my way to anywhere (FF)
Tearing up the motorway (FF)
Take me with you somewhere (FF)
Any junction, any Jensen
.....any day.
