OK, should be able to get a few of us out on Wednesday.

Weather not real good this morning, hope it clears so you can get the maiden in this arvo.

Weather man said at 9am this morning "chances of showers developing" only been raining since 4:30.

Never seen that colour before on a Ford.
I almost pulled the pin on one of those, but as it was for the wife, it was her choice.

Its a bit hard to see in the picture from front on Rusty but it already has a front mount intercooler from factory.

You can re-flash the ECU's on these and get and extra 30 to 40kw's with no mechanical modifications. However I value my warranty and in all honesty after a few 'brisk' drives in the country 270kw's is probably adequate!

Nice Benny, like Rusty said "for a Ford".

What are you going to move the plane in.

Was a new Commodore SS sport wagon at the field today, very nice looking car. If only I had the cash for one of them. Give it 12months and I might be able to get a good deal on the v6 version.
