they might be spreading by mouth--remember the last years adds and the engineers driving all the way to the Albury to spread the word.

Hey,
Are we talking that white Tezza with the tape on it

Spyman

[Davehoos]

local TV ran adds for Tezza for months if not all year--the engineers [woman] was so excited about the fuel economy of diesel that she planned to drive to it to show her girlfriends on the one tank--sorry I cant remember the script--it wasn't good the first time.

Hey,

That add,

Still remember standing in the same shed late one night looking at the update Tezza

In the add they pick up a bagged Tezza with a extended hand truck it was shot in the nvh shed;-)

Maybe a chance to get a base model fitted with a V8?
A 'dealer special order' just like the good old days when you had options.

Well, at least he adds something...

When you do something cleaver I'm sure we'll let you have "15mins of fame"...

Dunno what the V8s are worth to Ford, but even at $5k each thats $140m sitting around.

Oh and if they can only build 5 day, then that is 5600 days worth of production

So no, they dont have that many sitting around.

They might have 28000 of something sitting around (transmissions?) but not engines.

Struth that's a bit harsh isn't it? I thinks Spyman is awesome. Yes he is dragging it out but isn't that half the fun? Isn't anticipation of many things as good as the desired end result? You can only ever see something for the first time - once. Also I have no idea how he gets the images and IF he is an employee of Ford he's taking a risk with every post. It may even be a Ford tactic to leak and test our response. Over 160,000 views would indicate that there is still some interest in our dead man walking Falcon.

I am wondering if upgraded parts will end up in production somewhere in an effort to clear them all out.
Problem is will it be in the beginning or the end of production of the new model.

Fair point, I hadn't thought of it that way. Good for spyman getting the pics, however some of his anti ford or general BS posts would get shouted down in other threads if he wasnt keeping everyone in suspense with the pics he is 'keeping out' of the thread. Anyone that knows their way around PG would be scratching their head at the tezza ad being shot in the nvh shed comment, it was clearly shot in the emission lab, the sign is even visible in the ad, other crap like storing 2800 engines wtf? I think spyman is either feeding his own ego here in the name of 'helping us passionate falcon fans' or throwing out some fantastic red herrings.
This is a great thread and the chop of the red xr8 is fantastic Nikked.

[superfly]

I'm hanging out to see this thing! Most of the times, by the time I log on, spyman has removed the pics again. See if I get lucky this time.

[Polyal]

Hmm how is it just one bloke could be releasing so much yet show so little?

Maybe the to blokes in marketing are not as silly as we think? And why has carsales etc not grabbed pics and made some rubbish up like usual?

Spyman

28,000 XR8 engines stored???!!!

I think your decimal point is out by more than a couple of places !!!

Do you know the big Kw number on the XR8 Plenum cover ??? Doubt it.

Most prob not exactly wanting to give too much away too soon, perhaps he is in a very select group and would be easily identified if he releases certain pics too early?

[Road_Warrior]

Careful now. Don't kill the goose that lays the golden egg...

[au2000]

Either way I ain't judging I'm just thankful that however it happens spyman gets to share with us !

[csv8]

Spyman is taking risks to get the photo's..congrats are in order!!!

I did state that this figure was when they were still going to do FPV and XR8 and it does include the engines that are stored for warranty's etc etc

they have been stocking up big before the pin was pulled

searche for the story on it

[ford man xf]

spyman03 what do you think the most significant difference is between the FG and FH that you have seen so far?
