Was at a car show today & spotted this BA XR6...Look closley at the front guard...... Look guys, Tickford is gone, but it seems some, just cannot let it go. It's obvious that fpv are struggling to live up too what Tickford delivered...a relatively high performace quality product.:hehe:
I got a Commodore SS badge on my wheely bin. So does this reflect more highly on the commodore or the bin? I was initially concerned that the average Holden fan would actually see this as a desperate attempt at showing my undying support. :fraz:
Regarding this topic, I think the Tickford badge was a nice looking piece of kit to have on the side of your Falcon. I think many BA XR owners miss this item, but I wouldn’t read into it being anything more than that.
FireFox, you have a great car, we all love the T3’s. There is no need to justify your ‘Tickford’ purchasing decision to anyone including BA owners. I don’t actually think that this was the point of your intentions and you’re just poking some fun. But I would like to make you aware that this is the way your anti 'FPV' and pro 'Tickford 'comments are coming across.
I miss seeing the tickford badges on the fenders on XRs and I think many BA owners do also. I know when I was younger I always hoped one day to have those tickford badges on the side off my car YAY! Now I do!
I actually think it was a bad move to loose the tickford name.. but in all honosty the same ppl are there doing mostly the same job.. SO its no big deal really.
ENd of the day we all drive fords.. Lets just leave it at that

You know butler, for a little while I used to take this whole thing a bit too seriously, but it's a real game now. Come of the comments from both sides of the T3 v GT thing have really made me laugh. It's good to see people admit it's just a game and treat it as such. Long live the Blue Oval and here's to the upcoming T5 GT-TS54.
I did, but it made the rear end look somewhat ugly & people were pointing at me so i took it off lol :angel:
No I'm a fan of the T-Series cars, I had the opportunity to drive a few every now and then and they remain one of the best cars I've driven, especially the T3 it has raw grunt good handling. The BAGT is more refined in the way it drives and would be just as quick with a few km's on board and does look better but to be honest I wouldnt care which one was in my garage
Mate of mine mig welded the word "Chev" on his boat anchor. What do you think he was trying to say about badging.
