Default Minginator's Engine Stolen!
Just looking at Performance Ford's site, if you have a look at the minisite for the Minginator - check out Picture Number 5.

Seems someone's done a swap on Gary and Rob, i guess it was good of them to leave their old engine though.

Now to find the Focus without the bonnet............

Id post a up a link but its a bit difficult as its a Flash site.

Just click on the link for PFM mag at the top of the page, enter their site, and go to 'feature cars'. Then click the Minginator, then pic #5.

The Zetec would be quite an extreme measure to make the AU please the EPA folk.

Hehehe, I personally thought the different font face in the pic in LuvinmyEBs post under engine was a bit of a give away, but I guess that's easy for me to say, seeing as I was there when she edited that pic, lol
