Seriously - don't make this thread end here!  ing_sm
The point of the thread is buying an Esky vs EB-ED XR6 vs LJ Torana vs maybe something else.
As RSGerry said, and I agree with, it's ok to appreciate different cars for what they are.
My only personal opinion to add to this is that my 1979 RS2000 is definitely more reliable than any 6 cyl Falcon I have owned, including the BA XR6 which is disappointing for me, but I will say I have had a bad run with Falcons (hence the reason I will never buy another). It all just depends on the vehicle in question. You get good ones and you get bad ones, anyone knows this!
But just keep the thread civil, gentlemen!  :

No problem, can do
I think most of us who have participated in this thread have shown a decent level of maturity, with the obvious exception where someone started their post with "haha, **** **** ****."
I can also appreciate different cars for what they are. Personally, given the choice between a Falcon and an Escort for a long trip, I would choose the falcon without hesitation, because it is the better tool for the job. But if I was going for a drive along the great ocean road, for example, there is no way I would even consider taking the Falcon, because it would not be as enjoyable as the Escort along there.
I just think it's sad that some people can't admit that they may be wrong, even when several people tell them that they are mistaken. And sorry, but I do find it extremely amusing that anybody could seriously believe that a stock EA would have any chance of being quicker then an Escort. :hihi:
Now, I'm probably going to get shot down for this, but I actually don't mind LJ Toranas, and if the choice was between a LJ Torana and a EB-ED XR6 Falcon, I'd actually choose the Torana, despite my preference for Fords.
Anyway, I have no problem with keeping it civil, after all, I have not made outrageous claims or implied that anybody is a ****er, lol!
