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.

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.👍

Gday.
Found this while trawling around to find how the GPS or similar antenna connector is supposed to unclip from the back of my 2015 FG ICC unit. Anyhow, we'll get there. Cheers |

Thanks for the add!
Lurked for a while. Just ordered a new Everest. Still spewing that I couldn't get my old man to lend me $3000 to buy a completely stock, and well looked after XW Fairmont as a first car back in 2004. |

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. |

Thanks to the administrator for adding me!
I own an AUII Ute and a BA MkII Sedan as well as a few Holdens, various Jap bikes and one lonely Bultaco. I joined Ford Forums because so many of my google searches on tech matters kept taking me here. I appreciate the knowledge of the forum members and hope to contribute. |

Thanks for the acceptance, have a 2023 F150 about to travel around this big country. Trying to find a GVM upgrade but not essential. Fearful but excited at the same time. Rabbit!
