G'day all...A bit of a ruckus on the low crash rating of the Mustang.. Here's a video I found on the European NCAP tests if anyone wants to view..

G'day , yes , I agree with you.. Thanks for checking the ads out. Much appreciated .There are quite a few different ones actually..One thing I did notice is that a good number of Ford ads are aimed at the woman's view..Makes sense I reckon.. I wonder will Ford Oz change tack in this way one of these days.. I am genuinely shocked the size of the Ford range on offer..The Fusion alone sold 340,000 last year and it wasn't Ford's top seller at all...They sell huge numbers by our piddley standards both private and commercial ranges..The pickups and SUV's are mainstays there for Ford...I think the Taurus was only around 40,000 (averaging just over 3000 per month) and for the chopping block they say.. Thanks again...Cheers Rod ..

This XP ute is a bit tatty but I feel like I recognise it as a show car from the 80s. The colours, that bonnet with the XB vents, the radiused rears and even the number plate all remind me of a car that may have featured in Street Machine once upon a time. Anyone recall similar? |
