Default Who will be the first person on this forum to own/get a BF model Falcon?
Unfortunately it will not be me as the lease on my BA expires on the 21st Feb 2007.

I am keen to see who it is, what model BF it is, and when did they receive it.

Anybody have BFs already on order? If so what have you ordered?

Yeah I got an XR6 Ute on order, she's been ordered for nearly two weeks now, and hopefully ready by the first week of Nov.
Time to change from the 8, there's not much of a market for them at the moment....

I also have an order but seeing as the car won't show up till late Dec I decided to specify an 06 build. This (hopefully) should allow me to visit the FPV factory while my car is there sometime late Jan. Just got to find out how to organise it all.

My old man has had one on order for a while now. Originally it was going to be a MKII, but is now going to be a BF (company car). Should be one of the first on the road. Oh yeah, it's a silver XT E-gas wagon.

Your car is currently at FPV. At this current rate. It will be a lot sooner if everything goes according to plan young Mark.

ive seen plenty already (pre-delivery center over the road from work...)

look nice....... but something ive noticed that could have been changed easily, the rear bar on XT / Futura is the same old one from BA.... the "grille" thing should have looked different
