Default What about the ute people?
Just wondering if we're going to get a ute forum? Surely AP will have a say in it.

No, they will be discussed in the Early Falcon area, along with advances with Carbuterror Technology (tm).

Sliiiightly off the Ute topic but my AUI S/W has column shift and leaf springs! Nothing wrong with that (except now that the missuss and I have gone our separate ways and she has the 1.3 corolla and the kids, I would really like an AUIII XR8 or actually really a TS50 but the bank manager has no sense of humour)!

As a former panno owner, I'd love to see a ute/panelvan section.

What would be discussed in there though? I mean there is only so much you can do in a Ute or a Panelvan...
