Re: Ford Falcon Wagon.2007Model
Ford motor cars and I have a long association , on my arrival in Oz as a new chum in 1964 and still under the influence of British made, I purchased a Dagenham made Ford Consul. It carried me safely until I made a steady income a bought a 1963 Falcon just like the one John Sutton modeled so beautifully. Progressively over the years I traded up to later models and always found them great motors. The best ever was a 1974 GT with twin cams and a 3.2 litre engine which I traded 10 years later on a 5.2 V8 Fairlane.
Sadly those days are gone and this old fart poodles around in a 1500cc Korean made buzz box. However it is better to have loved than never loved at all.

Re: Ford Falcon Wagon.2007Model
Neil I bet your Korean 1500cc buzz box is nearly as fast, if not faster than your Fairline 5.2 V8 and probably more reliable with a 7 year warranty (5 and 7 years here in UK), won't be as much fun, but the bills will be lighter. I once had a Korean buzz box and she really moved.
