Default X-Series club

If anyone hasnt allready done this i am interested in starting an x-series club... not i know early attempts at this have failed IMO but since this is a new start on here, i would want to do it right. At the moment its only an idea, but if i can get the support (a club is nothing without support) i will go for it. All im looking for atmo is ideas, suggestions and indications of support

Well what part of the X series were you thinking of?

As we saw on FF that as soon as the early cars come into the discussion it just turns into a classic car club.

So I guess the rules/bounds need to be set first off.

it could be one of two things

later x-series (XD-XF)

or all x-series (XL-XF)

i would suggest the first would be more viable as the earlyer x-series would probably be more regarded as classics and hence have a classic falcon club.

Yeah that would be my thoughts too, but You couldnt say no to any of the models if they wanted to turn up for a cruise/social event.

Having said that, I dont know what it is about the XD-F range, but clubs dont seem to be working and I dont know why.

I willing to be part of one again.

Nor do i, hopefully i can do it right and start one that does work, it seems that we have the more mature.... members of ff on here and it may work this time
but its pointless if no-one wants to be in it

Yep this is the right way to go in my opinion although why not include the XG & XH as well (or are they regarded as E series?) Perhaps call it the Blackwood Club although most people won't know what that means.

I was driving the other night and thinking about this X-series club idea on FF.com that seemed to turn into a classic club at a hare's breath, so I was thinking what could be done and the thought of a blackwood club came to mind.

I think it would be a great idea. I think most people who are passionate about their XD-F XG-H would know what its all about.

Can someone please enlighten me on how Xfalcon.com has failed. Has anyone here even been to an Xfalc meet? Hey wheel man, just because you have a grudge dont try and tarnish a club you have nfi about, so far all the meets have had decent turnouts and more people show every time. Dont be so blaise when you describe a Club as a failure, because so far its far from it

Yeah how has xfalcon failed, seems fine to me.

How about Aussie X-series, being XA-XF?

i was a member, yes and i also put money out of my pocket into it to get it off the ground.

I have edited my orignal post to clear up that i meant it was a failure in my opinion (IMO)

Perhaps we can get away from the pros and cons of xfalcon.com and move on with the original subject.
Obviously people have different opinions but after setting this site up I can appreciate the work that goes into any forum site and ahmed deserves sopme respect for that.
moving on .....

thats what I was thinking, its obvious the wheel man has an issue to sort out and would have been better off acting like a grown up instead of using a public forum to air his grievances
