But it certainly wasn't a swipe at Ford...just the car itself...

Heres hoping Rusty traded it in on a new G6E Turbo as a runaround for his Coffs property.
Old Banger is a bit harsh on the FBT.

Hmmmm that's interesting.
I recognize the cars background & the dealer location. This car has been on carsales since early December, up until a few days ago. There was this one, & three red ones. Before that, two blues, including this one, & two reds. It was 16k or just over if I remember correctly. But its not on carsales anyore, it's not for sale, sold, or pulled from carsales thanks to that article. FBT, the GT rockstar performance, without the rockstar attention! It's a thing of beauty, & I want one BAD.
