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”.

Apparently is was an oldie in his 80's and was blocking traffic doing 20kms under the speed limit and wasnt aware his left indicator had been flashing for the last 10mins. Poor guy was completely oblivious to all that was happenning behind him.......just another day out

Sounds like a normal day in the life of the australian police catching people driving 105km/h in a 100 zone.
