Spyman did not sign up to this forum under any set of rules different to any other member. We get something for nothing here. And in the interests of those who do care what the new Falcon looks like, please remember he is not on our payroll and has no onus to prove himself to any member here. And has a life as stated above.
If I was Spyman, quite honestly, given some of the comments in this thread, I'd quit this gig. Let's show some patience and just enjoy the snippets we get. I'd say Chillax. But that's far to GenY for me.

I think spyman has done a fantastic job, posting pics we probably might never seen till falcons release. But I think too many people are demanding too much from him.
Don't forget it's his decision to post not ours to demand it.

You don't think spyman is playing games?
Either you've got the pics or you don't. Reminds me of one of those heavily padded survival stories on TV. 10 minutes of content, spread out over 60 minutes of dull TV.....yawn |

I'm sure spyman has plenty of pics of the fh, does he wish to show them all? No, why?, I'm sure he has his reasons , good or bad in others opinions however for him obviously good. Anyone consider the possibility that spyman maybe taking huge risks posting these? Maybe he's a ford employee who's part of the fh development team and that's why he is selective. Let's remember one thing here, spyman is the only one constantly putting up actual pics of the fh, can or will anyone else ?
I don't have images of the fh, but I'm thankful he shares them with us cause it's better than nothing at all or those constant motor mag Taurus photo shops

My view is if he has them but doesn't want to post them, then don't tell people he'll post them "tomorrow night". Keep it to yourself, move along with the discussion and all will be good. The pics he's posted have been awesome and I thank him for them, but the whole "ill post them tonight- tomorrow- tomorrow night- next week" gig wears a bit thin after a while.

He got caught, he's now in a basement at Broadmeadows with half a dozen hired thugs wearing knuckle dusters giving him lessons in water boarding and electric shock treatment, they want the names of others in the ring......
Occupational hazard in the spying game.....

Spyman has shown us the Headlights, Grille, Tail Lights, Interior and a host of other information. People have made renderings of this information which are very close.
What else is there to show apart from the whole car. I think he has done an awesome job. I am just confused why every day we see photos of 2015 model cars of any make you can pick, but we can't see the 2014 model Falcon.

Spyman has been having computer problems.
Plus he doesn't want to post everything he has at the one time, that would make things boring. Some of you guys are being tools. He can't post pictures without editing parts of them. Give him a break!

Personally I think that we have already seen a majority of the significant changes for the last Falcon.
There probably isn't a heck of a lot left to show, without reveling the whole thing, which would spoil the surprise or lack of it?

Thought Geelong was in Mehico.
Some can appreciate a good strip tease and can holler and whistle during the build-up / anticipation that comes with it; those that don't can always sit quietly at the bar til the chick is fully naked. Oh yeah, those that say Ford marketing could do no worse...they could if they took tips from one of our local dealers that sells Ford/Kia/Great Wall: http://www.waynephillis.com.au/about...evision-screen Last edited by Iggle Piggle; 26-04-2014 at 10:32 AM. |

There's nearly another page here irrelevant to the thread
A lot of page views...individuals may holler but overall he's doing us and the brand a favour with his snippets of 'FG MkIII' (sic)

If wheels and motor get pics they don't cut the pic and and post a tiny section. There's really not much more to see and I think I'll just be patient for the official release now instead of spoiling it all.

What are his credentials?
Could this actually be some sort of Ford marketing to enthusiasts? The irony being that the supposed absence of marketing is something folk seem to be always complaining about. |
