Default Im new to the forums
Hey guys,

I've been a member since 2012, never posted, been lurking, always been a fan of fords, especially the xrs...

About 3 weeks ago, my Mitsubishi got t-boned and written off while I was in it, guy was speeding, wife was injured, but shes ok now.

Anyway! so now I actually have bought a ford... and my favourite shape/model too, so you will now hopefully see me lurking AND posting in here!

My new car is a 2005 BA MKII XR6 Non turbo, 85000 ks, never been in an accident, perfect paint, perfect whole car actually.

Pics! (Sorry bout the size!)

Good to hear you and your wife are well.

The oil' Falcon will be a bit different to the Mitsubishi. I can't ever seem to get comfy inside one of them, but the falcon seats are mini lounge chairs!

Gotta say, the seats are comfy, the car rides like a dream when cruising, and when you put your foot down a little, it grips like it's on rails, im in love with it, everything I wanted in a car and more.

But yeah I did love my magna too, it was a 1995 limited edition of only 400 made, had a bit of centimental value too cause my dad gave me it... But what I got in insurance I never would of got selling it, so it's probably good it happened that way cause my wife never stopped complaining about how much the damn thing was costing me!

Very nice example, the paint looks great, can hardly see paint chips on the front bar/bonnet and headlights/foglights still look clear.

Hope it treats yous well...

Good luck.

I always called them MissinBitzies after seeing a mates early model Triton fall apart.

Welcome mate. Glad you are loving the falcon. The Kms are low too for that year model!

The same model and year as my first ford falcon XR6 which I miss even to this day. I curse myself for ever selling it because it was a fanstatic car. How did you ever track a car with just 85,000 clicks on the clock? You have done very well for yourself. Your new wheels looks fantastic and glad to hear your wife is recovering. Look forward to reading your posts and contributions.

Cheers, Brent
