Well, call me stupid, but I like the idea of my cars next owners getting a good vehicle that's been properly cared for. Especially seeing the last two were bought by friends. I'll pass on the Ford wisdom.

It's the McLaren name that has significence. Especially in the US, remember the Canam series whitewash? Made and designed? Where are those turbo V8's from again?

I believe the auto blipping is also to reduce the chances of the rear tyres losing traction downshifting on low traction surfaces.

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious? :wink: McLaren, nothing without Bruce, a Kiwi. :wink: The others, Indian and German owners.:wink: 😁

No argument here. And I still think the P51D was the most beautiful, looking and sounding of all WW2 aircraft.

It's not 360, but 5.0 ALM has a video showing installation of a reversing camera as a front cam. It seems to work well when aimed down to show the front of the car. I couldn't get the same wireless cam, but did get a wired version which I'll put in when the weather improves. Report to follow.

My '24 has ASS. It's quite nice ASS too.

That might be stretching it Mr Dog. They produced the odd nugget from the piles of crap they foisted on the public. Granted, some had US V8's. AC, Jensen, Bristol, etc. Which is only fair, they gave the Merlin to Packard.

Yep. Took 7 litres to do it though

God help us. Wet belt too?

Snap.

If I can revive dormant thread, There is a Ferrara, lovely town.

Ford has history in so many forms of racing, they ooze credibilty. F1 and Le Mans races in the 60's used to piss me off, being a Ferrari fan.

That's a weird thing, cops buy the same as their patrol cars for personal vehicles. I never did it. But my wife's Skoda looks like a plain patrol car front on.

Yes, the car I was going to buy is now $NZ110,000. The Mustang is a total bargain at $93K

Yeah, "I just use the detector to remind me if I'm speeding" line. They just leave out the "in case there's a cop around" bit. But, they've saved me so many times, they've paid for themselves many times over.

Yes, I meant the Pommie and Aussie engines which were undersquare or square. From memory Ford UK were the first to go significantly oversquare with their crossflow engines

How much clearance does it need to fit? That Sarah n Tuned lady had the same problem on a V8 swapped Celica, she cut out a 1/2 section of tube in the middle of the brace. If it's reinforcing in tension and compression, not bending forces, it could work.

Really? I'd heard about head gasket probs in the 2.3 Focus engine, are the triples crap too?

I was joking. I'd rather walk.
