I don't have a problem with recommending it .. but I don't think it would be appreciated on FF. We want no conflict and want to go on our own way..so word of mouth plus other methods will do for the time being.

A very warm welcome to Geoff Polites too !!

Hi Rodderz - welcome aboard.

Firstly we won't take credit for getting the site up too fast - it's been in the planning for the last few weeks but none-the-less a great job by Jeff to get this far so quickly.

We will be mailing more than the odd person in the next few days (slowed by server restrictions) but that will let a lot of people know that the site exists. Whether they choose to come is for each individual to determine.

Cheers
Russ

No worries jeff

I've met all you guys and i know that it will be great to have an australian run ford site

You must have literally uploaded the site to the web in the last hour or 2? What will happen re: sponsors, DM's etc..... i guess you guys are working on that already and some things may not happen till after new years?

We have these things in hand but as you say... given the time of year I don't expect much to happen till after the new year

Welcome aboard Mark
I think it was the Dryer (tm) not the Washing Machine (tm) that caused the problem.

Well, looks like I'm on board now too.

I dont know what happened, but for some reason I feel drawn to here, or is that pushed away from the other one?

Which ever way.... HOWDY Y'ALL!!

Hey everyone its great to finally be here! Been a few forums relocations for me over the years but i'm confident that this is the last stop.

Now lets get this site roaring by posting up pics of the next gen Falcon! :P ...ok maybe not, but i'll be around here providing the news as soon as embargos are lifted from FoA.
Cheers,
Luke.
