Hi from Australia

Hi there guys, just thought I would say hello, and introduce myself.
My name is Matt, and I live in Brisbane, Queensland Australia. I just purchased an F250 5.4 Crew Cab on thursday, 15/06/06. This was the very last new Super Duty Ford Australia had left. I believe we will not be getting anymore till last qtr. 2008.
Its great to find a site like this, and hope that you guys wont mind helping me with some of my planned mods to my truck. We dont have alot of them over here, and knowledge of them is very thin on the ground.
Look forward to getting to know you all.

I will post up some pics for you guys if you are interested.

Matt

Matt,

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll enjoy a lot around here, most of the folks are very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions you may have.

Can you give me an update on the Footy season? Are my Hawks doing better than your Brisbane Lions?

Eric

Welcome Matt, just ask a question and somebody has the information you desire. Show us some pictures (of your truck and country).

Go ahead and jump in with both feet. I have been to alot of forums on trucks and stuff and this is by far the best on the net. More knowledge and experience here than anywhere. Now show us some of that ARB stuff.

Welcome to the site Matt - and Hello to another Aussie!!!

Come join us down in the International chapter - a link to it is in my signature.

Can you give me an update on the Footy season? Are my Hawks doing better than your Brisbane Lions?
Well they are doing better than my Carlton Blues...
And they are doing better than the Lions (but only just...)

WELCOME to FTE, Matt!

Hope you like your truck!

Thanks for the update BigF350. Do you think the Hawks can contend for the Premiership?

They might make it to the finals - but I doubt they will be in it for the premiership...

Are they US models that have been converted or the Brazilian RHD models?

And thats second hand. I tried to find a diesel, but mine was the last one left. There is no more stock. I could buy a 5.4CC new cheaper than an 04 SC PS
