Yeah, that's not going to happen. If FPV didn't have the funds to develop the Miami engine to use the intercooler under Prodrive, then Ford Aus definitely doesn't have the funds for the necessary R&D and testing to fit a new engine to the FH XR8. But as much as I weep for the death of the GT and the heritage that will…

I recently spoke to a Ford Oz employee about why the Falcon was never exported and his words were basically that its a combination of Not Invented Here syndrome (even though the original Falcon was) and that Ford US doesn't like internal competition for the NA market and as the only other large sedan built outside of…

An American lecturing others on jingoism. The irony is truly delicious.

Ray Wert carefully biding his time. Soon my darling, soon.

Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington share a cigar backed by the heavy strains of a verbose orchestral hymn.

Actually its not anything new for us. While Australia wasn't exactly on the front lines of the Cold War, we did and still do host several critical US facilities including Pine Gap Joint Defence Facility which is a major TECHINT and COMINT ground station (contrary to popular belief it is not an ECHELON ground station,…

You do realize that Australia is a different country don't you?

I'm glad you have decided to appoint yourself as arbiter of good taste, but might it occur to you that different people have different tastes. I personally like the look of the VE HSVs, I like their in your face, fuck-you styling. I love their retina shattering colours. And most of all, I like the fact that they…

"Like most Australian market sedans, it looks incredibly boring" Seriously Patrick? Okay, first of all, never, ever, rely on anything from Joshua Dowling — or News Limited, for that matter — he is a running joke as far as Australian automotive journalism is concerned. Second, compare any Commodore or Falcon to any…

Nice of you to choose the Robson Racing Developments Falcon (@RobRaceDev) out of all the cars you could have picked, Patrick. The Falcon needs some well-deserved loving at the moment. For your good deed, have a pic of the newly revealed FPR Falcons.

Don't be silly, that would actually require Dearborn to acknowledge that there is a large car built outside North America and it is quite good. Seriously, I once spoke to a Ford Aus employee and asked the reason why Ford won't export the Falcon and his reply was that it's a combination of Not Invented Here and that…

"Certainly, Mr Chairman. After I finish doing your mum. BOO YEAH!"

Jalopnik. Rebelling against our Jezebel overlords one hot rally driver at a time.

How small?

Replace Kaley Cuoco with Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs and replace RAV4 with Shelby GT500 and then you've got a story.

400KW FPV GT R-Spec given to the NSW Highway Patrol to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the force. Not technically an operational car as it is only used as a community relations car, but it still has all the necessary equipment to enable it to be operational if they wanted to.

I smell a new Top Gear challenge. "Tonight, we attempt to overthrow the the fascist bourgeois in three reasonably priced BMWs."

Would you say it gives you "the fizz", Raphael?

May I suggest Shane Van Gisbergen's save in Round 5 of the V8 Supercars. So sad to see "The Gis" depart the sport, such a talented driver and a great bloke.
