Default Downunda Ride

Hi guys found my way here through one of the downloads of Kazaa, "Go Tiff" thought I say hi and post a pick of my current ride - Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo, taking her in today for a Unichip Upgrade which will be a big boost to the power she kicks out.

Regards

M G

I belive the Holdens still outsell the Fords, and have been for quite some time now....so they can't be that shit. I like the Ford aswell as the Holden, although I prefer to own Commodores over Falcons.

It is a version of the Ford Falcon which is only sold in Australia, the car is Aussie designed and built with something like 85% of components being locally produced. Ford have a number of Falcon models from the standard 6cyl 180kw, 8cyl 220kw, 6cyl Turbo 240kw 8cyl modified 260 and then the FPV Ford Performance Vehicles GT which has a modified 8cyl producing 290kw.
