VIDEOS OF FORD PERFORMANCE ENGINEER TIM SMITH

[Capri to ST]

I enjoyed watching these videos of interviews with one of the engineers who performed significant work on the design of our cars. The videos came out around the time the car was introduced.
I was impressed by the level of detail and thought that went into designing every aspect of the car. As the engineer said at one point, the devil is in the details.
The second and third interviews were conducted by a FiST owner who was active on the forum here at one time as BRGT350.

Those are the videos that convinced me what my next car would be.
Practical, reliable, quick, and flies under the radar of the po-po.
