XR6 Turbo Trailer
We've been working on an exciting project over the last few months to mark the 10th anniversary of the first XR6 Turbo last year. Currently we're in the process of creating a documentary which covers the birth of the Factory Falcon Turbo and it's variants. For our fans, here's a little teaser of our biggest feature yet!

Geelong All Ford Day 2013
Sunday the 17th of February this year saw another All Ford Day run by the Kiwanis Club of Geelong. With sunny weather throughout the course of the month it proved to be another scorcher, but this did not deter the Blue Blooded brigade who attended in droves. As per last year the turnout of displayed cars was strong, showing a similar number of 1,200 plus cars from over 30 different Ford clubs. With such a wide variety of models of all eras on display, we’ll let the photos and footage do the talking!
Our Visit to the Ford Discovery Centre
Ford Discovery Centre is a collaboration between Ford Australia and Deakin University, located in the heart of Geelong Victoria - very close to the original Ford factory. The Discovery Centre was opened in 1999 to display Ford’s heritage, success and achievements since the first Ford was produced in Australia in 1925. On June 8th when the sad announcement was made that the Centre was to close on the 29th July we got in contact with them straight away to organise a time to capture a glimpse of the history of both Ford Australia and the passion those who worked and volunteered at the Ford Discovery Centre share for the Blue Oval.
Boosted Falcon Cruise for Charity 2012
On October 28th we were able to attend Boosted Falcon’s fourth annual Cruise for Charity (C4C) event, held again at Dandenong Showgrounds in Melbourne. For those who don't know, Boosted Falcon started predominantly with E-Series Falcons - lots of those with a craving for boost! This year saw 300+ cars attend with a mixture of E Series, B Series with quite a number of AU, FG and various other Falcon (and a few non-Falcon) models from different years thrown in too.
Top 5 Contemporary Ford Ads
The world of car commercials has always been a challenging beast for carmakers. Coming up with witty, catchy and memorable TV ads that capture the attention of prospective buyers can cost millions of marketing dollars, yet many campaigns still manage to miss the mark.
T-Series Nationals 2012
T-Series cars are some of the more rare Fords on the road today. Between 1999 and 2002, FTE (Ford Tickford Engineering) built a three different models, the TE-50, TS-50 and the TL-50. It is said that less than 500 FTE vehicles were ever built. This year the T-Series Nationals were held in Tasmania from the 20th - 25th February, we were lucky enough to be invited out to take some photos of this group of awesome cars before they set sail for Tasmania!
