I would have to agree with this:
Motor Jurno Andrew Maclean " The biggest disappointment in 2012 has been watching Ford Australian seem to give up on the current Falcon without so much as a fight. The four-cylinder Ecoboost is and an amazing piece of local engineering, but you wouldn't even know it existed out there in public. I can't see the situation getting any better for FPV under Ford's full control either, which is even sadder. We'll have to wait until 2014 before changes happen." |

My girlfriend dumped me. Jokes on her, I bought the ute I was eyeing off that she wouldn't let me buy.

And following the sentiments - just as silly. There is a reason why the Falcon isn't as popular as it once was - and it's not entirely Ford's fault - certainly not from lack of trying either.

Missus left me a couple of months ago. After we decided to move to WA so I could work in the mines. I live with her parents, she lives in Perth.
Take the good with the bad, all the money I make here is ALL MINE, HAHAHAHAHA

David Koche on Sunrise to an audience of millions stating no one buys the Falcon anymore and Ford are lucky to sell a few hundred a month - damaging mistruths that surround a brilliant car with the smell of death (ala 380).

Here's something you've never seen before. A motoring Journo saying something negative about Ford.

One of my closest and amazing Uncle's died a month ago... that was the worst moment of my life.
Still doesn't feel right. And the BAII's head gasket apparently died, which in turn effectively killed the engine... but that ended up good now we have one with 120,000 less kms for at least 1/3 less than a re-con head. Had goldfish years ago... which all died within a month. Turns out Busselton water wasn't good for 'em. Wonder if the awful chlorine they added this year helps... |

Lost my job due to new contractors taking over.
Meh, it's all good - saved enough coin over the years to keep me rolling along. I needed the break. Sorry to hear some of you split with your partner: Want one, Yes, maybe. Need one, No, definitely. Cheers, and may '13 promise more.
