I went on the RSPCA Illawarra charity cruise #3 on Sunday
there was 181 cars entered and i think 170 commodores, 5 magnas, 5 other and 1 falcon there might have been more but I only remember seeing a black G6ET and a few mustangs Seriously why are there no falcons in Wollongong? i feel kind of bad because i sold my XR8 when i moved to Wollongong and now I have 2 Commondores I am temped to sell or swap my VH for a Falcon now. I don't like being common.

well in my defence I needed a wagon and ford never made a nice looking wagon (except territory), i even bought an AU wagon and between the bulky rear end the woeful rear suspension (even after lowering, new bushes, koni shocks) and rust i had to get rid of it, and the other one just happened when trolling gumtree and there was a mint VH wagon with a V8 and manual trans for the right price (I was looking for XE's and already had a 302C and C4 waiting to drop in)

Falcons don't like hanging with Commodores - it gives them a bad rep

I'm thinking your VH is a nicer wagon than the last one posted.
![]() Nothing wrong with the look of the AU, but I'm a bit biased there! Had it been a sedan........ |

my last falcon was an AU3 XR8 in blueprint with leather and so-on, sold it for a Fiesta as the XR8 did about 25l/100km and the Fiesta does 7l/100km, I will get another one day but most likely an ex hwp 2014 FH XR6t or XR8 in 2-3 years time after I have paid off the Fiesta

I don't like hanging around Commodore drivers, they tend to be the absolute dregs of society. Some of the ones I know anyway.
May be something in that. Or they are all a bunch of sheep. |

Wollongong is a bogan town! What do you expect?
![]() Also, compare the local Ford and Holden dealer. Holden is massive and placed in the center of town while Ford is stuck off one side and is full of salespeople half-heartedly attempting to see Fords while slightly encouraging you to go next door and buy a VW/Skoda/Landie/Jag/Audi. |

i see plenty of commodores parked at the methodone clinic but never falcons
