Life really doesn't get to much better than this. Aussie grunt and Pommy Class. Some times I get down and then I look at what I have and think Yeah life is not that bad after all compared to those who live in not so fortunate country. "When we get down" and things aren't working right just look at what we have. Cheers Rob |

The ideal stable IMHO - being a long-time Ford and Shadow fanatic, I am obviously biased beyond belief...... The ute will be a good long-term investment due to the limited production in recent years. |

I quite like this new trend of owners posting pics of their cars. Chris's and Jack's Clouds, Peters PII, Paul and Brian's Shadow II and now Rob's Shadow. Always interesting to see. I hope it continues. I bet the Shadow appreciates more that the Ute, long term. Geoff |

"I bet the Shadow appreciates more that the Ute, long term." Geoff, maybe elsewhere in the world but not in Australia which was the birthplace of the utility style of vehicle. You only have to look at the popularity of the Deniliquin Ute Muster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ute_muster http://www.deniutemuster.com.au/ |

yeah I have to agree with David on this one, Yeah Falcon utes are 'common here . I was lucky in getting the Ute and sedan in the same paint code and 15 mins apart from each other on the massed produced production line. Not too much special about the Fords only the Boss Ute is 450 HP at the wheels with it light bum is a suicide machine on round abouts.She has the last of the FVV motors in it .. bob |
