Worst Moments of 2012

[MyForce6]

I would have to agree with this:

Motor Jurno
Andrew Maclean

" The biggest disappointment in 2012 has been watching Ford Australian seem to give up on the current Falcon without so much as a fight. The four-cylinder Ecoboost is and an amazing piece of local engineering, but you wouldn't even know it existed out there in public. I can't see the situation getting any better for FPV under Ford's full control either, which is even sadder. We'll have to wait until 2014 before changes happen."

You've got it bad? All 4 of our goldfish died while we were away and the neighbour left us a skeleton as proof!

[Kable72]

My girlfriend dumped me. Jokes on her, I bought the ute I was eyeing off that she wouldn't let me buy.

I was told I had herpes.
Luckily it was just a heat rash.

You mean the statement by the former FPV PR guy who was "redistributed" a few years ago? Yep, believe it all........

[iCat]

Wow - firstly - what a silly quote from someone who should know better...

And following the sentiments - just as silly.

There is a reason why the Falcon isn't as popular as it once was - and it's not entirely Ford's fault - certainly not from lack of trying either.

[Stagg]

Got laid off in February, split up with the missus in June, car was off the road most of the year, although I'm still here smiling and life couldn't be better

[XR6_661]

Missus left me a couple of months ago. After we decided to move to WA so I could work in the mines. I live with her parents, she lives in Perth.

Take the good with the bad, all the money I make here is ALL MINE, HAHAHAHAHA

David Koche on Sunrise to an audience of millions stating no one buys the Falcon anymore and Ford are lucky to sell a few hundred a month - damaging mistruths that surround a brilliant car with the smell of death (ala 380).

I don't watch his show but he sounds like another nut job GM partisan. Especially after I heard he has a Chevy engine in a Mustang he owns. It's like he only has it just to be cool even though he hates the company it's built by.

seeing all the "break up with missus" post makes me scared to even get into a relationship . . . 3 years single and still enjoying the dating game :-)

[nstg8a]

Watching my fg get loaded onto a transporter and disappearing....

One day il buy another. Or that one back.

Here's something you've never seen before. A motoring Journo saying something negative about Ford.

[My poor XF]

Another one to split from the missus. But my goldfish is fine.

On a positive note I paid my car off haha.

[jmack]

must have been the year for break ups

[Buntz]

You're all luckier than me. I never had any goldfish.

[OffRoadFalcon]

One of my closest and amazing Uncle's died a month ago... that was the worst moment of my life.
Still doesn't feel right.

And the BAII's head gasket apparently died, which in turn effectively killed the engine... but that ended up good now we have one with 120,000 less kms for at least 1/3 less than a re-con head.

Had goldfish years ago... which all died within a month. Turns out Busselton water wasn't good for 'em. Wonder if the awful chlorine they added this year helps...

[grandpa_spec_F6]

On reflection.... I've got SFA to complain about.....

Yes but you cant go on enjoying life forever !!!

[supershifty]

Lost my job due to new contractors taking over.

Meh, it's all good - saved enough coin over the years to keep me rolling along. I needed the break.

Sorry to hear some of you split with your partner: Want one, Yes, maybe. Need one, No, definitely.

Cheers, and may '13 promise more.
