Description:
AN OLD Ford Falcon XA Superbird has been given a new life after one man restored the car to surprise his father. Tommy Giankos’ father, Paul, bought the XA Superbird in 1973 - it was his very first car. However after an accident wrote the car off, it sat idle on their family farm. It wasn’t until 2013 when Tommy decided to rebuild it to the surprise of his father. Industry experts estimate that the car has increased significantly in value after its $100,000 revamp, but the family has no plans to let go of it just yet. Tommy said: “It took five and a half years, but it's pretty much a dream come true to think that I can drive this car now, when growing up I thought I’d never drive it again after what happened.”

Up First will continue to remain in service indefinitely, leaving a legacy beyond the event’s 17-day culture programme.<br/><br/>BristolWorld had the opportunity to hop onto the new Up First bus ahead of its launch and enjoy a bus ride around the colourful Bedminster.<br/><br/>We also chatted with Stephen Hayles, co-founder of Upfest, and Sarah Wallbridge, Senior Marketing Manager for First Bus Wales and West, about the design.")

I’ve found the ultimate modern bike for the retrogrouch. The Racer Rosa is an example of a bike which proves that you can still buy a top end carbon road bike with rim brakes andis compatible with mechanical gears.")
