    Hi All,
    My name is Heath and i live in sydney Australia. Unfortunately there aren't many wagon forums over here, so i have joined yours.
    I own an Australian Built Ford Falcon wagon. It is a 2007, BFII XT (base model). I have upgraded the outside with Ghia Garnish's, Leather interior and 19" wheels. It originaly came out with a 190kw straight 6, i wanted a little more oomph so i strapped a Vortech supercharger onto it. It now makes 310kw at the engine. Its backed up with 3.9 diff gears and really is a pleasure to drive :), anyways- heres a few pics.Enjoy!

    Welcome! Very cool wagon you've built. There are definitely some neat RWD cars built down under. The FWD disease up here spread like a plague so offerings have been slim.

    Welcome aboard! We have several active members from Australia - glad you joined us. 310kw equates to 415 horsepower - that's got to be a wild ride! Nice lookin' too - congrats!

    Thanks for the kind words. I notice most are older vehicles on this forum, would love to do up an old wagon someday. Yeah at 310kw she gets along well, now to continue reading up on other members rides.
    Cheers.

    It doesn't matter if you're in Australia, Europe, or America. Theres no place like this place anywhere, so this must be the place.

    (I took this picture today in Front Royal, Virginia and thought this thread would be an appropriate place to post it.)

    We were the first campers to stay in the newly to be opened state park which was a former priyate game preseyre. One day before the real opening. Spent the night in a Cheyy yan in the parking lot. Lots of turkeys, deer and other critters.

    Welcome aboard, Auswagon!
    Great looking Falcon you've got there.
    I bet it's a ton of fun with that supercharger!
