The rules:
1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules.
2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.)
3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached.
4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them.
5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.)
6. No double posts. Violator buys a round for the house in Rocky's.

Additional rule for this round only - No posts that APPEAR to be blank when viewed on my phone screen - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post)

The 4 Door Ford Mustang Sedan...

Not real of course http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/news/a6419/2014-ford-mustang-sedan/

Now if Ford could build that and a wagon version they'd have the replacement for our now deceased Falcon.


Cheers.

Believe it or not, that 2014 article, was an April Fools Prank by Road and Track, though Ford did at one time make a full size clay mockup, that never made it beyond the clay phase.

Ford is supposedly dropping the V6 and adding a 10 speed automatic transmission in 2018.

We only get 2 choices of engines with the Mustangs here, the V8 or the Turbo 4, and that 50L fuel tank is pathetic for the V8 (my Falcon wagon has a 72L tank while the sedans get a 68L tank here).

Cheers.
