After the site upgrade last night a number of people have needed to clear cache and cookies to get a new cookie.

If you let me know your original user name I can merge the profiles.

No need to merge, just shut the old account down if you don't mind. I don't want to run the risk of those problems croping up again........

G'day cobberz,

Recently purchased a BF2 Falcon for $7k (think I did ok, not sure). Previously owned an Audi A4, c**t of a car to say the least.

Bought the ford because of it's proven reliability and robust straight 6 engine. Hopefully I have no serious issue with it, if I do, you'll be seeing alot of me on this forum asking noobish questions.

in fact...I have a couple already....

Cheers!

Taking delivery of my new SZ Terry TS diesel later this week. Can't wait to get the Jayco on the back but have to wire up the Tekonsha first. Looks like behind the Tamour door is a popular place for it? Any one else with suggestions?

Hey everyone
I'm a newbie to falcons
I recently purchased a 2004 XR6T 5speed

Only a couple of mods
Big fmic kit
Lowered on king springs
Bov
19" rims

Pretty basic but a good base to start

I'm from Richmond NSW so if there's any locals around let me know

Cheers
Michael
