bold statement, doubt many will agree with you mate....

only good thing about an f150 is the engine...the rest is yank build quality (shite)

Been doing Nat Day for 10 yrs now,always in intermediate group and every year i annilate Cossie's,this year it just got silly,passed loads of them (even had to flash the stubborn one's out of the way) and had about 6 Cossie drivers over to me in the pits to ask about my bean tin!!!The rest where too ashamed to even acknowlegde me!!!Point is,the old bean tin RST is a very underrated car,even amongst the RS community.Regards Micky

most of the time its not the car its the driver, most of those cossie drivers probably don;t know their ass from their elbow round a track, and you do....

i luv RST's but the escos is clearly a better car....
