BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Ford Motor Company
Launching Rack Drive steering on Ford Motor Company's flagship passenger car models is a milestone for both companies
said Peter Lake
Ford Motor Company is never going to have the impact on local businesses that it had in the past, and we can't just wait for things to return to the way they were because it's not going to happen
said Jack O'Reilly
When I made the Cobra Jet engine available to Ford, they found out quickly how good it was and they decided to make it happen ... My feeling has always been that Mustang should be the performance leader for the Ford Motor Company. I like performance that helps me sell the unit. What the Cobra Jet did for Mustang was phenomenal.
said Bob Tasca
