| Ford To Close Geelong Engine Plant. |
|
Ford has decided to close their Geelong engine plant in 2010. Bye-bye Aussie 6 cyl engine. They will import a v6 engine for their Foulcan & Terrorists after that. Did you think I would leave you crying,
When there's room in my D3 for 7,
Climb in here Joe we'll soon be flying,
I can go just as fast with 7.
2005 TDV6 S with Terrain Response (& all that entails), Tasmods (gorn). 2008 TDV6 HSE (gone). A Dark Side umbrella (here) & car (here).
Volkswagen Golf (SWMBO's)

I feel sorry for the Ford workers but having had 2 Foulcans(lease cars thankfully) one can only wonder about the Ford philosophy. It also shows why we must NEVER go back to 50% import duty. Look up Ford Pinto, Bronco/Exploder, 15 van, cruise control, spark plug problems(exiting motors while running). I just hope they sell LR to a company with a strong moral outlook. 2013 D4, E-diff, Vision pack
