No Jeff, these are tucked away in a box in the cupboard. I was fully into them 10 years ago, but when the time comes for a purge, they will be the first to go! While I am not an avid watcher of the V8s these days Tom, I have noticed that the current liveries are often even busier than these ones. I guess this is a sign of the times and some of the big sponsors have gone and they have been replaced by smaller ones. The two biggest teams carry funding from Red Bull/Ampol (our version of Caltex) and Shell, but most of the others are all over the shop!

Excellent batch, with the 8C as my predictable favourite.

I never realised you had such an extensive collection of these Supercars Martin. Did you have a mullet to go with them .

Looking at all those models of Australian Falcons made me remember that, while working at Ford in Cologne, I met a really cool guy and very talented Australian designer! His name was Steve Parks and, I believe that when he returned to Australia he was involved in the design of those Falcons.

Did you have a mullet to go with them . No mullet sorry Ian, I left that particular "fashion" style to the hordes of Holden fans . Being a Ford fan I was more likely to be wearing a sense of frustration and disappointment! Looking at all those models of Australian Falcons made me remember that, while working at Ford in Cologne, I met a really cool guy and very talented Australian designer! His name was Steve Parks and, I believe that when he returned to Australia he was involved in the design of those Falcons. You are correct Julio, he was responsible for the "AU" series that was released in 1998. It was a "bold" design for teh conservative car buying public over here and unfortunately wasn't a hit. It was also a difficult beast to tame on the race tracks. Ford's fortunes were restored when the "BA" series in 2002.

He was really friendly and I remember that his drawings (and designs) were extremely nice! Unfortunately, he left, back to Australia, shortly after I arrived.
