Long live the Falcon GT

Hey FF,
Not sure if this has been done before or not - but was wondering if anyone else has a strange fascination or really likes a car that isn't a Ford? Mine are below:   I love the 90s Rolls Royce / Bentley sedans. I don't know what it is about them, but I've always wanted one. They are relatively affordable ($25k-$35k) but i've never found the time to research them properly to work out how hard they are to live with. The other one that I really like is the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner.  Definetly would have to be the 440 6-Pack / Pistol Grip. Anyone else got a car or two they'll admit they like - that doesn't wear the Blue Oval?

Replacement for what I drive now?
I like the idea of a Subie 'Outback'; that's if I do buy another car.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
