Hey You!
__________________
 BAII RTV - with Raptor V S/C. RTV Power FG G6ET 50th Anniversary in Sensation. While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

i didn't think there wasn't much wrong with the au - i am biased but i would rather ford's attempt at looking euro than holden's
at least the au looked like a fomoco product from the start, not a vectra/lancer or a 10 year old bmw i really like the ts & te 50's - the rear wing looks great and the xr front on a falcon is a nice looking car to me the shape was good enough for mercedes to copy not long after and they are still doing it |
