Aussie Car Discussion

For fuck sake, These cars are being destroyed left right and Center. I hope that falcon gets fixed because in at least 1 year it won't be able to be replaced.

 

Smooth running too whereas most american v6s are a 90 degree v which leads to real rough running, 120 degree v6 is just as smooth as i6 in power deliver but has a slight forward/back rocking motion and the 60 v6 is also smooth in power delivery but the forward/back rocking is more severe.
I6 and boxer 6 both have no rocking motion and smooth power delivery. Its just 1 is really long and tall while the other is really wide and a tiny bit more mechanically complex (and issue effecting v designs too).


Still, there are reasons for all 3.

 

statutory right off Chassis rails bent bad fire wall bad. . It was no ones fault Just one of those things . Next car will be a camry or Subaru. And after i get the new i will save up for a classic xf falcon

And the 2nd car was a xr6 fg Two falcons died

Like to think Ford for saving my life. And letting me walk away.

R.I.P my pride and joy. (the falcon ) --/6/04- 23/11/14. Gone but never forgotten.

 

This makes me want to cry. You must be absolutely devastated. What you need most is a hug.

 

It's like haveing my ball's smashed. Am missable. 2nd worse day of my life. After my mum passing away. But at least we are all ok and not dead. And her xr6 May be a repairable right off.

 

Life can be an absolute cunt sometimes mate.
Also sorry to hear about your mum

 

Well if it's a statutory right off ( i find out tomorrow ) At least her parts will live on. So in a way she lives on. And helps keep more ba/bf falcons on the road

 

Do what we did with the monaro, Buy it back from the insurance company.

if the front member bar and radiator support is damaged they will write it off

 

I heard someone said Monaro

 

Sold it ages ago, I was like 9 when we had it... Don't worry about it though I'm making a Torana and monaro for .drive

 

For over 3 decades Holden & Ford have not only battled on the track but also in our hearts. They have become national icons, pride & joys and just overall legendary vehicles. But the glory days have all but gone, its time to say our final goodbyes to our much loved cars and hope that someday, somehow, they will rise back up.
Here we have the final Australian built Holden & Ford models, the VF Commodore & FGX Falcon. They've truly saved the best for last. RIP

Looks like someone made a Land Rover kit car.

And it is the only vehicle made and produced in New Zeland ever

Hey Dennis, do I look fazed?

 

Should be, looks like the car has just burst into flames

 

Straya burnout mate.

 

Its always better to drive in a car that has no line of sight to see your hit and run victims.

 

Bitch please, Who needs a line of sight when they drive?

 

People with common sense.
