Fox News aren't big on historical figures. They have a story today that I probably can't link to - (if I can it is here)
But then I'm not happy about linking to a Fascist website anyway even if they do have some good car stories.
So, today they claim that "The Ford Bronco 'Oates' is a motoring mystery."
Ford have included in their latest VIN decoding information a variant of their Bronco called the Bronco Oates and this has confused the stuffing out of Fox News.
The only Oates's that they can come up with are an elderly writer called Joyce Carol Oates and half of Hall & Oates, John Oates:
He's toned down his moustache since his heydey.
And they can't see what either of them have to do with a rugged SUV.
So they have clearly never heard of Captain Lawrence Oates of Antarctic fame:
Maybe Ford plan to drive a Bronco to The South Pole. But they would be 110 years too late to help Captain Oates.
Given what happened to him though, if that is why they they are using that name, they would be better off calling it The Bronco Amundsen.
