So what's the answer? Don't borrow for anything? Create mini communities?Either way it doesn't help the Falcon :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85030-the-end-of-ford-aus/page/13/#findComment-1392836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is not to much we in Australia can make at all at the moment as other country's pay less wages and make everything cheaper that we can.

It's interesting to read everyone's opinion as to why this happened and what should've been done. If only it was as simple as all these ideas and opinions make it out to be. Trust me when I say it's a lot more complicated. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85030-the-end-of-ford-aus/page/13/#findComment-1392856 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if we are all hocked to the eyeballs you make the crap print us more.Jeebuz that almost sounds like a Buf rant....

XLR80R Inactive Members 1 Member For: 12y 2m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/05/13 10:20 AM Share Posted 26/05/13 10:20 AM After years of owning V8's (Expensive Daewoo and Ford) I stepped into my 1st XR6T about 1 month ago.I regret taking so long to make the switch because no V8 I ever owned was as ballastic as this thing. I guess this will have to be my 1st and last XR6T. I will be hanging on to this one until it falls apart.Has there been any anouncement about the future of FPV?
