[QUOTE=Whoosha]Just a little bit then
Bit be carefill semofthimKiwis are 7 foot 6 and built like Brick Dunnys Its OK I'm short, tubby and grey haired!!! I've been here more years than I lived in NZ so I think I have earned a second chance....Oh and I own a Ford!! I read the replies this morning and then realised this isn't my first Ford, I had a company car in the late 80's and was one of the first with ABS, I was doing a driving course with Ian Luff and everyone was impressed with the braking ... everyone did a 70km to stop, I had to do a 110km to stop .. and beat them all!!! The kiwi got a run..but no word on car names? Are all 6 & 8 cylinder male cars? are there any female fords (fiesta?) would a pink v6 or V8 be a transvestite car? "How do Kiwis find sheep in long grass???? .....Delightful!!" |

Hi Everyone,
I joined AuFalcon.com a few months ago after I bought my 99 Au Forte and it had the website stickers on the bodykit, as the car was owned by another member of the site. I am married with 2 young kids, and live on the southside of Brisbane. I work in defence and is posted out at Amberley.. Last edited by Evn79; 19-01-2011 at 12:26 PM. |

Hey everyone. I'm a late comer to the awesomeness that is the AU series. I just bought a second hand AU1 wagon with 282,000 on the clock. Runs great and I'm going to sort some mild mods for it soon. Larger snorkel, pod filter (housed in original filter box) and an upgraded exhaust and muffler.
Cheers Deliverance |

Hi all
First time I've had a car from the 21st century. I'm usually into older cars, but thought I'd like a modern one for day to day driving. Just purchased a series II AU Fairmont, and loving it. |

Hi Andrew, welcome to the forum but you're in the wrong club sub-forum. This is for people with AU series Falcons whereas your car is a BF series.
You might want to head over to the B-series forum here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=176
