    New Daily Driver - Ford (Australian)
    « on: October 06, 2005 - 12:48:24 PM »


    It's a Ford yes, but Australian! lol
    Like my Dads car except no shaker induction system. "May" look at a supercharger kit for it, not sure yet.

    Specs:

    Ford Falcon XR8 BA (V8)
    Silhouette (Black)
    360hp/500Nm (Stock)
    Sequential Sports Shift (SSS)

    Supercharger kit will boost it up to either kit one: 455hp, Kit 2: 536hp or the BIG boy 705hp!!!!
    It's a daily driver and was chosen over a 'Cuda or Charger mainly due to the modern tech and for reliability.
    The Challenger (Lucy) is and ALWAYS will be my baby. I am happy I own two V8's now one modern and one classic.



    Cheers,
    Carl

    Thanks Eric, lovely to ride in. Smooth and has a nice throaty V8 sound. The color and car will go nicely next to the Challenger. :-D

    Thanks lads!! It sure is lovely to drive, plenty of grunt too. (MASSIVE Grin)

    TC - Nope I'm right handed.  lol Hot dates? If so they better watch the leather! lol

    Rusty - The Falcon has been around for years one, the first real Australian Muscle car ever built.
    The shaker unit were on the 70's models and have only now made their come back.

    I wish DC would take note and follow suit. :-(

    Yip, but until I really get going I'll keep it simple.
    I sell hard to find (In New Zealand) Muscle car merchandise. DVD's posters, Keychains, Books that kind of stuff....for now.

    So far it's going nicely. I only put my first lines of product (2) on 2 or 3 days ago and I have sold 3 items.
    So, kind of slow but at the moment I am basically setting up. My aim is to have my own website up and running.

    I will be doing all the work myself, harder but worth the extra stress etc
    It's great because Mum is a professional accountant and has been for 30 odd years now, the best around they say.

    She helps me out plenty setting up spread sheets etc


    It's fun.
