FPV F6 RspecTickford Concord...hehehe Like father like son!Man... what did that sticker say?I remember as a kid washing the old mans Fairmont's every weekend, and he had a new one every bloody 2-3 yrs... (100,000km's or 3 yrs, whatever was first)... Funny its a warranty slogan, it was Boral's slogan for company cars as well...I believe Boral was one of Ford Australia's biggest ever fleet buyers also...Thanks Dad... now its in my blood... aaahhhh I miss being a rice burner boy!

Hated both Expensive Daewoo and Ford. Wanted a big newish car with some leg room for under 10k. Wound up with a VR II Crumo. Then wanted a ute to cart the dog n stuff, Holdens got no room... Put the seat all the way back and you sit bolt upright... Dumb! Decided I wanted a turbo. Didnt wanna go 15yo Jap import sturff. Turbo Falcon Ute fitted the bill nicely.

Posted 25/05/08 12:41 PM Share Posted 25/05/08 12:41 PM (edited) Just had a random thought - didnt Ford have a sticker relating to family or something on there cars at one stage in the 80's? "Built with pride by the people of Ford Australia".....I remember one that said - 'Driving Australia's Future' or something like that... Nah, I dont remember that one.......But they also pushed something along the lines of - 'Ford family or fine cars' or something didnt they? Late seventies......"from the Ford family of fine cars" Edited 25/05/08 12:43 PM by BionicXR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
