thats just me.. we are a land busting our guts over power yet do little to eliminate why.
Because people are getting soft.When the temp gets up to 30 they start talking extreme heat wave and when it goes down to 15 they think the ice age has returned.

I couldnt care less what your reasoning is, i just dont understand why you would because anyone who cares what an FG is would already know and its pretty bloody obvious that its a Falcon because the only other brand of ute of its kind is a Holden Commodore which is equally as obvious to anyone who would care.

It would be akin to walking around with a T shirt which read 'White Male', because im a white man. sure there's similar versions of what i am, but i look nothing like a black woman so its obvious and unnecessary to highlight it.
99% of people would just walk past oblivious to me and the 1 % who would take notice would go yeah, no ****.

Build numbers are understandable as they arent obvious, but a car i see rugelarly has FPVFGF6 and i always look at it and think, yep, thats what it is, its an FPV version of the FG and the intercooler gives the turbo away so its obviously an F6.

Agreed, but when you walk into an 8 star house from 45* outside it wont blow instant cold air on you and immediately relieve the heat stress like standing directly under the vents of an operating A/C unit will it.
It will take time for your body temperature to regulate.

What if 6 people walked into a room from outside where it was 45*, no 8 star house will overcome all that body heat quick enough to have all comfortable immediately as the room will warm up from the body heat emitted from those now inside.

Because 001 could be referring to anything i guess, if i had FPV 007 and only put 007 on the plate people may think im a James Bond fan yeah.

FPV 001 means its the 1st FPV of its kind, thats not as obvious as FG FPV or VESS6L etc.

Im in a sort of similar but slightly different situation. 2 doors down from my house there is a government share house for adults with mental disabilities. Whilst its not noisy they have a duress alarm (its a silent alarm) that calls the police if people get violent and emergency buttons that call the ambos. My issue is i have lost count of the amount of times at 4,5,6am ive jumped in the car to go to work only to have my driveway blocked by either a police car or ambulance with their lights on but the cops or ambos are doing their jobs. I cant exactly say stop reviving somebody or resolving a conflict and move your damn car.
