Ugly as sin the Taurus' were ... friend of mine had one ... handled like a bowl of jelly ... from memory it used a 3.0L V6 .... and were Transverse front-engine/front-wheel drive. Now if they had brought out the SHO model ... that would have been better.

3.4 liter DOHC V8
Horsepower: 235 hp @ 6100 RPM
Torque: 230 lb-ft @ 4800 RPM
Redline: 6800 RPM
Compression ratio 10:1

Still ugly as though

Ah Hyperkid, I've been sworn to secrecy. But it's road registered and we went out on a public road.

OMG ive seen that exact car in West Ryde about 4 weeks ago. It was a young lady trying to drive it but kept stalling for some reason and a grandma in the passenger seat. The Grandma looked like mafia material. She might have had the Tommy Gun on stand by - Say Hello To My Lil Friend

Two Cougar's this morning, one up the road from my place, another at Plumpton, red, with CC-00-GA plates I think... talked with the owners who had a look at my car (they parked near it) they love their car and are having trouble getting bits for them etc etc...

Dad had a Taurus.. agreed it was ugly as sin but it was kitted out with alot of good stuff, it went fairly well, and had probably the most comfortable seats i've ever sat in. through the twisties it was pretty messy, but you were thankful for the soft ride on the open road.. it was like driving around in a big comfy lounge chair

OK .... not a Ford ... but.

Here's something I found last week up near Lindfield while delivering.
I had to scramble for the phone.

Was bloody bright and I was on the move as well ... so the photo isn't the best.


Aston Martin Vantage ... and it looked very small for an Aston too.
Sweet vehicle

Unless I'm very much mistaken (to quote from Murray Walker), Aston Martin is part of Ford's (P.A.G.) Premier Auto Group.

This morning on the G.W. Highway going through the Blue Mountains I spotted a Audi Q7 SUV. This one though is being fuelled by Biodiesel and is on a Round-Australia Trial.
I know this because that's what the signage all over it was promoting!
