  The  MkIII Ford Cortina. This bad boy was the ultimate seventies plush-mobile. And don’t get me wrong, the Mk4 and 5 Cortinas were more modern looking, albeit a bit boxy, and you know what it’s like, the newer model always tends to make the older version look, well, old. And you know what, I couldn’t tell you a thing about the mark’s performance or reliability, I was only 11 when the seventies ended, so for me it was all about the look and the image. I loved the look of this beast, and yeah, if I could, I’d get me a hold of one and drop an all-electric engine into it, turning it into a reborn eco-wagon of green-powered salvation.

When the pirate, Blackbeard, buried his treasure, he could never have imagined that it would fall to the heavy metal band, Cold Steel, to come looking for it. Cold Steel, high-octane British rockers who came close to legendary status, until the release of their fourth album, when their excesses send them spiralling into terminal decline. Struggling small-time band manager Johnny Faslane, in the right place at the right time, lands the dream job of managing Cold Steel, and then has the seemingly impossible mission of turning the band around. Cold Steel’s singer, Maxwell Diabolo, claims to have a treasure map that he thinks will lead him to Blackbeard’s lost riches. With the band bent on a terrifying path of self-destruction, Johnny wonders if they will even complete the tour, much less get to the Caribbean to embark ...
