So, we can safely conclude Skub is clearly a very aggressive road user with his nudging at the line at junctions! :angry-cussingblack:

I haven't had this F350 sideways yet, but it happened quite often when I had the black '86 with the 460 CobraJet engine. I don't recall any ladies gasping in awe, but I had several passengers screaming in terror.
Accidentally did a 450deg spin in the middle of an intersection in LA while making a left turn from a light just after it had started to rain a bit.

Or Mk2/3 Capris ?
Pah! Mk 4 Zephyr/Zodiac was the business in huge bonnet slabs.
Just checked my F350, bonnet is about 4ft long (not including the cowl), but it's 6ft wide... overall, the truck is 8ft wide. Thinking the Crapi bonnet was longer?
Fail. I thought everything over the pond was bigger and better than everywhere else?

My Dad had Mk4 Zodiac, the bonnet was long, mostly because Ford decided it was a good idea to put the spare wheel in front of the engine. It was an E reg, so 1967 or 8, we had it in the late 70s, the paint was coming off in flakes and I suspect the big ends gave up like most Essex V6s
