Falcon Facts

[EFFalcon]

For many years Falcon Facts (www.geocities.com/falconfacts) has been a great resource for all things in Aussie Fords.
Unfortunately since 2003 the site stopped being updated.
The site was a credit to its owner (who i don't know the name of)

News came earlier this year that the webhost Geocities (Yahoo Geocities) was closing down, and along with it, any websites on there.

Worried such a fantastic website would be lost for good i took it apon myself to take as much of a backup of the website as possible.

Unfortunately any attempts at contact with the current owner/builder of the site were bounce backs.

But.. as of Today, falconfacts is not longer available at its original home.

For those interested, I have uploaded the website to www.falconfacts.net

If the owner of the site manages to find this it'd be appreciated if they would contact me.
Otherwise, the website shall live on.

Alternatively, if anyone knows who built the site, please let me know so i can credit them.

Great idea John.

That's a great effort John, has this been posted on aff, fm, sf, faf, etc? Might reach the original owner through there if you haven't done so already.

[EFFalcon]

not yet.

I'm guessing you don't want certain AFF/ex E-Series members claiming it as their own

Good work mate.
Glad we got someone like yourself who is smart enough to do all those things that alot of us take for granted

i doubt they would... but i guess theres nothing stopping anyone saying its theirs.

it just seems they went to so much trouble to get it setup and only maintained it for like 6months.

[Commando]

Well the main thing is they put it up in the first place, and now you've mirrored/saved it for future use. A+++ will view again!

[EFFalcon]

xfalcon.com look to have had the same idea.

Great idea, I had almost forgotten about Falcon Facts website!

Nice once John! Would not be too hard to update with post-AU info... let us know if you need a hand with the writing.

It'd be good though seeing as you have control now to fix up some of the numbers?

Its not much of a big deal but for example-
In the service booklet/manaul for EBII, it says engine power is 145kw/341nm whereas the site claims 148kw/348nm..

I know its not much and TBH I assume the service book is correct but it may not be...but its an interesting discrepancy and I seem to remember finding more throughout the pages long ago..

But great work on getting it back up and running!
