This vehicle must be picked up in Mahomet IL, approximately 5 miles west of Champaign-Urbana.

This bid is for a 2002 Ford Windstar 4 door Mini Van. The vehicle has 100,327 miles on it, but the van is still in good working order.

This vehicle is owned by a county forest preserve. The vehicle was purchased new and has been used mainly for transporting supplies and staff between 3 forest preserves in Champaign County. The vehicle has been regularly serviced and all service records will come with the vehicle.

As you can see from the pictures, the vehicle has some rust areas along lower edges and is missing paint on a small area on the front hood. Recently, the front/left coil spring broke and damaged the front tire, thus the front tire was destroyed. Currently the spare 'donut' tire is on the vehicle, so it is driveable, but will not be able to be driven too far without that being replaced. The coil spring was replaced, so the vehicle is in working order.

The vehicle will need to be picked up between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday - Friday.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
