Hi everyone, I thought that I better introduce myself even though I've posted a few posts first! My name is John, and I've been playing with mostly fords for the last 40 years. My first ford had points and a carby and I like the simplicity of those older xa' s b's etc. I've tried to avoid cars that have computers for decades now, (and have mostly succeeded), but now it's time to buy something more modern so I'm looking for a terry to buy. I'm thinking that something built around 2010 might fit the bill, but those sneaky turbo models keep coming up in my searches tempting me to stray away from more sensible N.A. choice. I live in centralish Vic.

G'day.

I own a au II one tonne ute and have grown up with el and au wagons and sedans.

Jimmy126 · 30-08-2023, 01:30 PM

Hi guys.. Just an introduction. I have owned over the years a Cortina (crossflow), XB (moulded head), EA (great car, never a problem), Escape and now a Territory diesel. The territory I love but has a trans issue which I’ll get into in another post. Great forum and very informative.👍

I everyone, just joined and looking forward to solving a few issues I have with some of my cars. I love the old classics and have a few and ordered a new F150, cant wait to get delivery soon.

simon klein · 07-12-2023, 08:01 AM

G'morning.

Having NOT been a Ford owner for 47 of my 67 years,I am contemplating the purchase of an XW GT.
I have to sell one of the ..'cough' European cars in my shed to do this...this is being prepared in Bris and will be on the market in the new year.

There are some questions I will need to ask and will use the relevant thread to do this.

Cheers,
Simon.
