A beauty!
I recently sold my 2010 Silverado pickup and spent a bit of time trying to find a new 2 door Bronco. It took some effort to find one at msrp since most dealers are still marking them up and you can't order any until the order banks open back up. So you need to search and contact people/dealers all over the place. I finally found one and got it last Friday. I love the way this truck rides/drives and it has the twin turbo v6 so plenty of power. The first thing I did was bolt on the trailer hitch. I still need to do the wiring and have it ready, but I have time so I wanted to break it in first.

Does that have the 2.7L Ecoboost? That should make a ton of power and good on fuel too.
Yes, it has the 2.7 V6 twin turbo engine and the 10 speed automatic. I haven't really gotten into much of any boost yet since I'm still breaking it in and most of my driving is around town under 45 mph.

My '19 F150 has the 3.5 and I absolutely love it. Super quiet on the road, super comfortable, huge inside and I average 22 MPG in a 4WD crew cab, and she is faster than my Mustang GT back in 1984. I believe your Bronco is even lighter and the 2.7l is even faster in that configuration. Very cool vehicle.
We bought a puzzle in the second hand store. 1,000 pieces. Been awhile and we thought it would be fun. We have been working on this off and on for 5 days and are about 25% complete. This is a lot tougher than I remember.
Not near as exciting as a new Bronco. Going back to the original Bronco/Scout look was an excellent idea.

Me too - exercising, not programming. Put on too many pounds during covid. For the past several weeks I have been walking 10 miles per week trying to get into shape for a trip (that we are currently on). When I get back I need to up it.
BTW, since this is a “what up to” thread, I’m writing this from the Lisbon airport waiting for a flight to Barcelona. We started last week with a visit to our youngest son who lives and works in Paris. Watched some guys fishing bait on long rods in the Douro River a couple days ago near Porto. Didn’t see them catch anything.
Wow!
Where do you race that?

Louden
Thompson
lime rock
Tamworth
Summit point
A track in pa I can’t think of the name.
Indy
a few other places with various cars.
I worked with a good guy from down in Florida who took his old bathtub shaped Porsche to classic races. I'm not sure of the model number.
Anyway, too bad they put the steering wheel on the wrong side of your Elva.

funny everything we have raced has been right hand drive except for the GT6..
Shifters Can be on either side. When I drive them around the pits etc the shifting is not automatic.
I need to do everything the opposite with my left hand if the shifter is in the center of the car.
