Talking Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone,

Guess you could say I'm a Forum Virgin!!!

I live in Perth WA I drive a 1977 TE Cortina she is Blue with a light blue vinyl roof 4cly 4spd manual with a few additional performance enhancers nothing exciting you can usually hear her before you see her.

My dream would be a fully sik FPV GT Ute, similar to the one on the Tooheys new add but black.

My main reason for joining was to talk to people who love FORDS as much as I do.

And HOW GOOD WAS THAT ALL FORD CHAMPIONSHIP WIN!!!!!!!!

Welcome. Sounds like a nice Cortina you have there! As for the FPV GT ute, I think you'll find it's called an FPV Pursuit. GTs are sedan only. Pursuit is like a ute version of the GT. And that Championship 1,2,3 was great! The whole Phillip Island weekend was great! Enjoy your time on the forums. Cheers.

Thanks for the welcome,
The corty has a cam,0.030" overbore with hypertecs, mild port and polish with unleaded seats and guides, extrators and a 2.5inch system, short shift,LSD she goes pretty well for a chicks car.
Thanks for the clarification, I have learned something new already.
