6 cylinder 5.0L - interesting.

Even more interesting - 6 speed sequential auto manual - how does that work? :

Me thinks the TS in the TS50 stands for Total Sh*t

"6 speed Sequential Manual Auto Clutch" - is this something like Porsche/ VW's DSG 'box?

Its actualy quite a ground breaking car ! The Liquid silver is actualy the precious metal , Melted down and poured over the car instead of paint ! Thats the reason there were only 3 ever made ! There were a couple of white gold ones but they were bought by some pretentious over indulgent ****s !

The 5 ltr 6 cyl was actualy a secret development by Fpv to make rego cheaper on 8 cylinder cars! Its a 6 + 2 cyl but that is highly secret and I cannot tell anyone this ! So I wont !

It has a six speed gearbox but reverse is only good for going backwards !

The manual auto clutch is another highly secret project the engineers dont want anyone to know about ! All you need to change gears is press down the far left pedal with your foot , and the computer automaticaly disengages the clutch so you can shift to the next gear. It does it automaticaly , after you tell it to manualy ! pretty spesh huh !

The engineers who developed this car all seem to have disapeared and cannot be found , although I have heard a rumour they are actualy in hiding , developing a highly secret Ford destroying holden .

Aparently the code name for this machine is VE , but im only making this up so beleive what you like !

psssst ! .........

PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTT!!!!!!!!!! And remember you didnt hear it from me !

This car does exist. It was made by Ford in limited numbers the same time that we all were better off under the new industrial relations laws, when safety cameras were in fact safety cameras, when we didn't have to pay tolls, when speed zones all made sense, when taxes made sense............................................

To own one of these vehicles and to be able to sell one, the person must be able to be detained under section 10 of the mental health act VIC.

I would feel more sorry for the person who bought it. But then again if you look around you will see that it is misleading. So to some extent tough luck.
