Yes, Andy, spotted that this evening. That car has ideas above its station; Time to Leave This World Tonight would be more appropriate.
Still, if it brings a new audience for Hawkwind, it can't be that bad.
BTW, perhaps a cue for another decades-long battle over copyright/authorship for Dave Brock and Nik Turner?

What an ugly piece of crap it is, rust (ala advert) is the most appropriate colour

Got to remember that Ford Europe is run from Cologne and is effectively a German company. So what would you expect but Masters of the Universe?
No doubt its also the reason why they have just announced the cessation of vehicle building in the UK

Perhaps that's also why they are shutting down car plants in the UK and Belgium and keeping the German plants open?
Deutchland uber alles.

If that's Ford's plan, perhaps they'll switch to Rammstein tracks?
