Not a bad find, I'm a member of the falcon brigade. My old man still references the ef Futura wagon as the most reliable car he has ever had. It's a good flick, but it pulls on the heart strings of those who care. I roll in an 08 bf and a 12 fg. Pretty much the end of line for the production models, not to discount the fgx, but I never have spent any time in one. No further comment

The two little vids do pull on the heart strings a bit..Honestly , as much as I've tried to get interested in other Ford (and other) cars I just keep getting dragged back to the 'birds'.. There is a top video that goes for a few minutes to go along with the Aussie Harrop development for the FG/FGX and now Mustang but I'll leave it for another time.. Got to say , the four or five cars he drove really brought back memories of much happier times when we drove a proper car...All ended for me a few months ago... Not ready for Kuga , Fiesta , Focus , Mondeo,Ranger or Everest yet...not by a long chalk...I'll stick with my dinosaur Falcons methinks...Cheers Rod |

Have I missed a couple models in that first link, don't think I can find one of the "E" series falcons and don't think I can see an FG. Am I blind??? Probably. Reckon there's 2 FGX's blue ute in the background, and of course the gold one at front right.

G'day stoodoo...To be honest , I'm not sure..I was more interested in the overall thought of how long the Falcon marque went for..It's one of the longest model runs for any car anywhere..
The other thing is the passion we hold for these cars that replacements like Mondeo , Kuga , even Ranger etc as good as they are will most likely never have. Also this car was also the primary reason why we enjoyed the Blue versus Red friendly rivalry on the race track on Sundays for decades and why we got excited to watch a certain Great Race every October.. I am a self confessed You Tube junkie that loves finding professionally shot videos of Falcon or other Ford (even occasionally the opposition) cars but the ones that are equally cool are the ones 'ordinary' people post on their pride n' joys.. Even within the ranks of Fordies there is a certain rivalry as to which is the best Falcon or other model. Some of us even hold a special candle for the much maligned AU series of cars , me included.. ,.So cool.....It's a passion , it really is.. Thank goodness we love our rides that much because I'll say it again... THESE ARE REAL CARS....Not sameness boxes on wheels full of gizmos and little engines as good as THEY are.. How do you like this... I have a great friend and car enthusiast in Baltimore , Maryland..His wife , Angela is a new American citizen as of a few months ago but from Hungary.. She can pick the sound of a Ford V8 without seeing the car.. Louis has owned a Fords , a special one was a 1978 Mercury with a 390 in it , the odd Chevvy too and he really liked our Falcon very much.. He doesn't bull**** either ..If he didn't he'd tell me..and he watched the last few Falcons go as I did.. It's a passion...Keep the passion for 'real cars' that the demographic we grew up in still enjoy so much and try and share with our young un's that won't have that enjoyment the same way.. Cheers Rod... |

Roddy, you're too old fashioned mate!
Little sports car or something ideal for you with Elephant Pass and St Mary's pass on your doorstep.. I'm jealous. PS, OTT, but try the food at the new Chinese restaurant that used to be the op shop. It's freaking awesome. |
