Gee Johnny, I sorry, I could'nt help myself 10 points for the Bazza and Shazza show comment

For those owning real FORDS, the latest Ford News mag sent out in the mail had a family in a Ford Escape travelling around Austalia to find our best beaches. Dare I say that KINGSCLIFF (northern) NSW was named as one of the top four. But if I was to choose the very very best, then its definately WHITEHAVEN!

Best thing Ford could do is get rid of that pommy sh!t. Stick to working in with Mazda and Volvo would be there best bet, Mazda are almost overtaking Ford in Oz sales at the moment. By the way, I have a Landrover Discovery for sale..........any takers? CHEAP!

23,467km thanks to a run to Brissy airport yesterday. Sorry, can't make it due to a house load of visitors arriving at midnight 28th from Newcastle.

Awe shucks, Thanks Shaz! and a Merry Xmas to you too

Hope you were'nt planning on site seeing Johnny! theres not gonna be much view up front

OK, now me understands, I dont catch on so quick these days, just ask Tab. I did'nt get a very good look at the driver (unfortunately), too hard to catch up with a Landy and a boat

Hang on now, it can't be both of you! It was about 3.30pm (lame Qld time) and the car had normal maroon on white Qld plates, Rego number ...........(just kidding). There was another sticker in the bottom right corner of the rear screen . I think it was a drag racing sticker, but not sure.

I pulled up beside a "Seduce" XR6T mII yesterday in central Surfers Paradise, it had a Forum sticker across the back window and also a boost cruise'n sticker. The lady was at the wheel and I pulled up the left side at the lights half expecting the guy to give me some sort of wave, then I realized I was sitting in a Landrover Discovery with a boat on the back. She (the driver, not the cats mother) gave it a bootfull off the lights and I went all warm and fuzzy inside

Yeh, got a wife, and I dont think that would go down to well, not even with 7 seats

No, I said show me your TT's (as in Territory Turbo's) , and for some strange reason she lifted up her top. I think that's when I fell in love

Went into my local Ford Dealer yesterday to get a brochure and fell in love with the salesman HER name was "Gabby" and she could'nt do enough to help me, first salesperson I've come across for a long time that was'nt a smart arse. They have a factory demo (TTG) coming in January and she said I can take it home for a 3 day test trial.

A very dedicated forum member indeed! The sticker WAS meant to go on your car though, not your back.

Don't listen to those other clowns, there sure to send you down the wrong path

Hey Orrie the white one is HPF's project car, look HERE

Alex Davison may well be a possibility, there is a strong rumour that he does have a full time drive in the V8's, but did'nt say who with.

We all wait with anticipation!

Even in my T, which basically is just edited to 11psi with exhaust and air box, I find if I flash it back to factory settings I last for about 2km and can't stand the lack of boost, feels like a slug so I quickly reflash back to my favourite tune. So I presume a TT with some minor mods would have the same effect, we all know a TT will be slower with the same mods as a T (power to weight) but from what I'm reading it does seem that its not as noticeable from the seat of the pants point of view due to lower final drive perhaps? I find an average fuel consumption of 13.4 l/100 quite reasonable as I would be hard pressed to get that from my current T, lowest I get is about mid 11's when travelling on a highway trip at speed limits (plus a bit), but at home is more like 16.5. Handling is not a big issue here as long as there's not too much body roll as some of the 4WD's Ive had in the past were woefull to the point of getting sea sick , usually does'nt matter what I drive, I tend to take corners faster than Mr average anyways, just love the challenge.

How abouy a white Terry T with black 22's

Garth has officially made the move to HRT (as expected) and Dumbrell has gone into his spot at Toll/HSV, so who is going to SBR? I have no idea, but guessing possibilities would be: Will Davison Alex Davison Luke Youlden Jonathen Webb Andrew Thompson Who I'd like to see there: Chris Alajajian
