Got a hot lap around Sydney Motorsport Park in Cam Waters’ No.6 PRA/Monster Energy Ford FGX Falcon V8 Supercar. Fucking awesome. (Also, the helmet and racesuit make me look fat)
She's meaness set to music and the bitch is born to run!

The latest news is that Volvo is recalling the cars and engines back to Sweden at the end of the season, so it doesn’t look like there will be a privateer Volvo team. I’m not sure of the legalities of this, though, as technically only the engines and bodywork would be Volvo’s IP, the chassis and control parts would be…
Tyler don’t ever scare us like that again! I’ve loved your work on FA and share the sentiment that others have expressed that I’ll follow you to TheDrive. Keep up the good work!
It was all those Area 51 articles, he finally got too close to the truth so the Air Force wiped his memory now he’s managing a Lady Foot Locker in Phoenix. (And yes, I have been binging on the The X Files on Netflix).
A day off, V8 Supercars are on TV and an FA article on the SR-71? Score!
This is the most Jalop car there ever was. My soul aches for it.
B-21 Wraith.
But will it baby? Get Torch on this ASAP!
Once again, a great article Tyler. I really enjoy your articles on the early history of the F-117 program and Area 51. Also, as a budding thriller writer, some of your articles have filled in my knowledge gaps and even given me new story ideas, so keep up the good work!
I’ll go halfsies with you!

My favourite, an RCAF exchange pilot was responsible for this one in an RAAF F-111C over the Evans Head bombing range in about the early ‘90s. Got in major shit for it, too, he was RTU-ed.
Ah, the ‘90s. A time when a tobacco company could sponsor an event promoting extreme sports and athleticism; they were simplier times...
Guess that dude from Oregon sold his Star Destroyer.
I finally understand what James May means when he talks about his fizz. Also, as an Avro Vulcan nut, I strongly approve of the name. Most fitting.
The Laser was an Australian-market version of Mazda's bread-and-butter 323. I'm not sure why they bothered to sell a rebadged version of the 323 in Australia. The Mazda3 is currently the country's best-selling car, and I'm not sure how much good a Ford badge helped anyone.
Let me help you out there. ;)
Wait, you mean car companies share parts between their different divisions to drive down costs? Outrageous!
Don't want to be "that" guy, but the GT had the Boss 335 engine, it was the GS, the modern version of the car in the video that had the Boss 315.
No, Ford have already confirmed that the Falcon name will be retired with the car given its strong association with Australian manufacturing, which is the right decision. I`d rather the Falcon be remembered as the tyre smoking RWD beast it is than a badge.
Well, given that Ford Oz's designers and engineers have apparently had heavy input on the new Mustang and their expertise in designing RWD sedans for the past 41 years, I don't think it's much of a stretch for them to design a new sedan. Particularly given their reputation for the quickest turn around time in…
