Well today I ordered my 9th Ford Falcon; my first was 32 years ago.

Have had a XY, 3 XB’s, XF, EL, AU, BA & BF.

XY was when I was 19.

In 2 weeks I’ll collect a new Ego F6, BF I with 6-speed auto, 6-pot brakes, leather, sunroof & 19” wheels.

It was the last BF I with 6-pot brembos left in Australia, confirmed by another dealer.

Thanks to City Ford for a deal I’m happy with. They have now sold cars to quite a few guys on this forum. .... DBOSS, Buf-phoon, Saleen etc

3-4 years ago (early 2003) there was up to a 5 months waiting list for a new BA Turbo, and it was a sellers market. Today I feel that justice prevails, as it’s a buyers market.

BA turbo to BF F6 …. There is so much more offered now, it is easy to see why so many guys have made the transition.

So we’ll have 2 Ford turbos, 2 STi’s & turbo starlet in the family … should cover most driving situations!

We’ll probably run the 2 Ford turbos side by side for at least 6 months, then determine a longer term plan. Of course I'd expect an Edit on the F6 reasonably quickly. It could do with more mid range grunt.

Congrats. :censored:

What did the young bloke end up goingwith Brian?

My son & I will share the 2 Ford turbos and my STi, and we'll share my STi as track car next year.

He drives the cars a lot better than me anyway.

My wife won't him touch "her" 06 Sti.
