Evening guys and gals,
Andrew from Ford PR here. For those doubters, believe me when I say I'm in the room with the vice president of product development, the chief programme engineer for the BF/SY programmes, the head of vehicle dynamics, the powertrain development manager. the engine design guru and the programme manager. HELP!!!! |

Guys, the questions were fed through to us via a moderator from the 9MSN head office in Sydney to us here in Melbourne on a first come-first served basis, and we answered every question that came through to us. As we said, we'll be back next week, same bat time, same bat channel for more questions.
