"Ratlook" now available from the factory...

[akku]

Ford F150 "Ratlook" edition has now been launched. Sets you back about $45,000 or something and you get a nice spanky new Ford F150 in satin black with pinstripes, McIntosh permium sound system, 22" black alloys with polished lips, and "bomber jacket brown" leater interior with a custom style console - no doubt with extra cup holders.

No, this isn't a joke.

I had a looksie online but nothing doing, you'll have to wait for me to scanout of the magazine when I get back home.

I did wonder if it wasn't missing the point completely...

Brilliant, now the man in the street is going to see a satin black car and think "hhmm, he's copied that pick up I saw on Top Gear..."

So lets narrow things down a bit. In Custom Car you are either painting flames or racing at the 'Pod?

if he doesnt know about the matte black or primer thing, and thinks you got it from top gear, then why care what he thinks, he obviously doesnt know a thing so ignore them.

its like when we took my mates formula vee single seater to bug jam a few years back, it was sitting there next to our tents and van with the back end facing the pathway with its fat VW flat four.... and a pair of guys walked past and one of them said 'God, why has someone bought a formula ford' i just though.... 'God, why are you at a VW show if you cant reconise a VW flattie.' Cock wrench.

If the people on the street don't understand what our cars are all about, who cares.

Hmm...Formula Vee + big-bore, blown Type4 engine =

best scan I could get out of the magazine. Not the best shot but its only a small picture in the news section.

EDIT: can anyone else see the pic? I could but now I can't?

[thevert]

don't look half bad, needs air bags tho!

[Pillock]

nice idea, shame it's on an oil-tanker sized pickup. now if, say, the new Astra were to come in a factory NATO style - that'd be cool!

but only for the first one they sold. then it'd be sad.

Looks pretty cool for a production car.

Exactly who Ford think will buy it is beyond me.
