This Transit "thingy" might just sell.I reckon a couple of big t****d naked models (and I don`t mean you BJT)draped over it and Ford could just be on to a winner.Well it worked in the seventies...............................................didn`t it?? :lol: :lol:

Just a good job that the mods on here were one step ahead and got Alan N on board as the forum index will need another slot for the Mk8 Car Derived Van....................................at least it will be seperate until the 9 comes along. :lol: :lol:
