best thing to do is go to a few meetings and events from both clubs to see which one best suits you
Here are the links to both clubs

Falcon Tickford FPV Car Club of NSW.

By a long shot.

But I could be a little biased as well.

As have been said go along to each of the club's meetings and see which one suits you best.

Our next meeting will be held on Thursday 6th September.

You are more than welcome to come along and have a chat.

Is the FTF incorporated, affiliated with CAMS, part of the Combined Ford Clubs? (I know FPV-Tickford is, was in the club when it went through those processes...) If not, there's no choice if you want a basic CAMS license to do sprints or attend CFC-affilated car shows. If you're only keen on club cruises, club shows etc then either could do the job.

Naa I love my XR6, anyway who wants an FPV anyway : :lookedat: :

I am with FTF myself ... mainly because I don't own a Tickford or FPV vehicle ... so the actual "Falcon" club suited me better.

Although I have attended FTF days in the Territory as well (and wasn't knocked back either).

The FPV - Tickford club doesn't mean you only can have an FPV or a Tickford to join! Plenty of XR's form E/A/B series’. Please come to a meeting and learn that there is more to a club than it's name!

There really isn't any competition between the clubs, we all associate in the same circles.

FPV-Tickford club meets on the second Tuesday of the month at Power Ford (Victoria RD Castle hill) 7-7:30 for a chat in the car park before the meeting.

There is no need to fret or "sit in the corner".
The club caters not only for the Tickford XR series from EB onwards, but the T Series (TL, TE & TS), Tickford Fairlanes and the current BA/F XR series.

But XR's are Tickford from sometime in E-series to AU's though.

I wasn't able to join as I didn't have an XR ... or Tickford ... or FPV.

EB Series was when the XR name started, and the Tickford influence continued until the end of the AU series.
As FPV had some influence over the the current XR series, this is why the current XR range is included.
