Thank you to all the Ford workers who helped make my 2008 Falcon. I still love it.

Here we go, before I bought her:



...given it's rained for the last 3-4 weeks solid, and I live down a 150m dirt driveway which is now a running drain, there is no way she was ever going to be clean

She used to belong to one of the members on here...

Here's mine.







Ever since I got the Mondeo I've been driving each car on alternate days. Today happens to be the Fairmont's turn to be driven, so on my way home from work I went on a bit of a detour, stopping where there's good light to take some photos.

Sorry this is all I can offer as I don't own a Falcon.
But thank you Ford Aust. workers for building my Ford trucks.

My EA still has that sticker on the side window. I'm not a sticker nut but that sticker will always have a place on my EA.

A little late and not as good a clean as I normally do, but at least it's been done in the spirit of this thread (plus I needed to remove the cooling tower spray off my car which has heaps of salts and minerals in it and the work car wash has been broken.....)





And one of my Aussie-built twins in the garage (crap pic, but you get the idea )

Hey Rod,

Thanks. I really love the colour and am so glad I chose it. I went for it because I liked the Kinetic, but at the time I ordered it, Kinetic was very popular and I wanted something a little different. And I didn't want black or white, so this was about it.

The colour is called Emperor, as per my signature. Really like the Tez in this colour too, as you can tell

Walked out of my brother's place after watching the race to find the local magpies had given it a good splattering. Kind of fitting after that race I guess.
