Now the Thailand Special has been muscled up massively and has disc brakes on the rear, I now have nothing to complain about - great job Ford for providing a product to fill this gap.

I look forward to seeing what the other clowns can muster as a competitor.

Even if this thing does circa 20L/100km look how far they've come from the 1980s F series, mine did 35L/100km all day every day and made half as much power with two extra cylinders and 2.8L more displacement.

Are the turbos on the new 3L Ecoboost mounted in the valley like the modern V8 TT stuff?
No it’s not a hot vee engine. Turbo’s are either side of the block. Tucked in super tight to the exhaust manifolds though.
