The current BF Falcon shape is near 8 years old (circa 99 BA). The VZ before
the VE was a completely diferent car in appearances and aswell as every
other area and no other car out there looks anything like the VE not even
the 300c or the stupid 380 for that matter, but then again you are the one
that tried to tell us there were no Holden VE's on the roads at all just
because you did not see the any while driving your truck

I have spent far to much time this week building a new motor for the EL
I was visiting the North side whan the old girl lost a cylinder , I
drove home nad a quick inspection didn't reveal anything , couple of
others looked and couldn't find the problem either ,

The car lost a cylinder , had plenty of compression and pumped out
heavy white smoke which smelt badly of petrol

now who knows what the problem was ?

also it ATE fuel very quickly

new motor is an ef block
auII head with big cam and headers
block decked and ecu mods with some other stuff done..
I hate changing motors in E series :(

as an adjunct to this if the solar flares are as severe as suggested
then as one interested in Amateur radio it will be a boon for the HF
bands I have access to , but they increased activity may well mean an
increase in interference to television and radio services and a notable
increase in air temperature , now how are the time wasters going to
blame this on our toys ?

Don't know? All the ones my dad repaired where warranty. They pulled the
engine out, did what was necessary, decked the block, put it back together
and put it back in the car.

All my dad said to me was he heap heaps of warranties to do on the Kia
Carnival engines. He doesn't work @ Kia but the workshop he works at
services quite a few of the car yards in that area.
