Geoff Polites, Jac Nasser etc.Look at the dud Yanks that have been rumoured to have be sent over to shut the place down ie. David Morgan and Tom Gorman.I agree, just look at the amazing career of Geoff Polites, until his tragic passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came down to talk to us all a few days after the announcement and it ws like sending a christian to the lions, the copped an absolute verbal pasting.

How can yelling at the head man really do anything to endere compassion to the employees. I dont like it that some of you guys are getting fired, but f*ck me yelling at the CEOP for a decision that is not his well, its silly in my book.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have an engine with double overhead independant vct, variable intake manifold, drive by wire, 6 speed transmission, the next best thing is direct injection which could easily be done on the almighty ford 6, the only reason the V6 is coming out is because its a hell of a lot cheaper.
