Fantastic...Would fill this entire site if I submitted all the pics!!.. Some great cars, Laminges T series( though not finished...WOW!) Really good of Ford to let the public see just what goes on behind the FPV doors!1 XR6T that caught the eye was a Congo Green outsite the engine plant!! ( No pic sorry)..Changed, totally my opinion of green!..Another was the Blueprint XRt parked near the engine plant! ( SLOJAM) ...Hey , you following me Dave?? ( 2 days running) One thing that surprised was the Turbo utes only have a one piece tailshaft?.. This means they are limited to 180ks!.. You'd think they woulda put the 2 piece in this baby??...
