Will be waiting 10 years for Foxtel in Australia to finally dedicate time to show the more recent episodes, currently they are not showing RK again, they were showing a few from 2016 but a search again today showed nothing available.

    Ford used the Thunderbird name the same way Chevy used the Corvette name (my 4 door 1956 Crown Vic has a "thunderbird badge on its front fenders). Including the 406 FE which wasn't even in a Thunderbird. Then Shelby made the Cobra and Ford called all its hot engines "Cobra", like the Cobra 289, Cobra Jet, etc.
