In the early 1980s, all cars sold in America were required to have 85 mph speedometers to get people to slow down.  Well, the XR4Ti followed the rule, but the ticks kept going up to 140+.  Now that's thinking outside the box.

And if you absolutely have to stay indoors in front of a computer this weekend, here's a recent Wheeler Dealer episode featuring a Ford Sierra Cosworth.  Have a fun and safe holiday, all.
