my intention was to inform and assist those who were hesitant to attempt to repair and maintain their vehicles with some confidence
now in answer to Leigh's question allow me to elucidate
The new XY GT rolled off the line in late 1970, and was followed in 1971 with the all-time classic GT HO Phase III. With between 350 and 380bhp (270 – 280 kW) and 380 ft/lbs (513Nm) of torque, it was reputed then to be the world's fastest 4-door production car.
Looking suitably aggressive8 with its air intake protruding through the bonnet and bold side stripes, the XY GT's were affectionately known as “Shakers” to many people, a nickname derived from the shaking action of the bonnet scoop and particularly noticeable while the engine is idling.
It is also the vehicle that most people associate with the term Falcon GT. The XY GT was the model that has most captured the imagination of the masses and it is the one that is most often copied.
Many people have purchased standard XY Falcons or Fairmonts and dressed them up to imitate the most legendary of all Falcon GT's.
There were 1,557 XY GT's made from September 1970 to December 1971. There were 300 XY GTHO Phase III's built between May 1971 and November 1971.

i see ignorance REIGNS SUPREME HERE, newer model cars are MUCH easier to work on.
they aree computer controlled all you do is remove the battery positive terminal for 15 to 30 second then replace the terminal, this reboots the computer and this retimes the spark resets the fuel injectors so there is your tune up (yes you replace the spark plugs and any worn components of the ignition system) you can buy for ten dollars a device that plugs into the diagnostic port on the car and using an app in your smart phone it will diagnose and inform you of any ffaulty components.No more setting the timing points gap fuel injection mapping ect
anything else is still the same as it was 60 yrs ago internal combustion motors are still the same as they have been since they were invented.

Next to post is HGO……
I leave the attic room and check out the deserted bar and decide to head to the lake and the Guy Fawkes BBQ, heading for the store room unlocking the new security bolt, I open the door, and just stand admiring my bike. There were a lot of miles and many memories associated with that old low rider.
Crazy Poms celebrating a foiled revolution and I was intrigued by the invite to burn the Fawking Guy.Stone and JayC had asked me and Coves to set up the fireworks on the lake. It was a nice little community and it was feeling like home and the people I had met were friends already.
Wheeling my bike out, it started with the second kick. No matter what I tried I could never get it to fire on the first, temperamental old girl!! lol..
As I head for the lake keeping my eyes open for the local cops, all I need is to lose my brief or get on the wrong side of the local law. My mind drifts to The cute red head owner of the bar who had really caught my eye though and I grin as I feel the wind in my face.I am soon at Hyperion Homestead and am welcomed in by Stone and Jayc. Brandy was already there and I was soon busy helping with the preparations.
Coves and I rowed out to the lake and we fixed up the remote firer. Hopefully it would work and we could all watch the display from the shore, or murphy being an optimist, someone would have to go out and light them manually.
The guests had started to arrive, some I had met before knocking around the village. Others I was introduced to.
FoxyRoxxy & Lover arrive with the Foxy clan. I kiss the good ladies on the cheek and shake Lover’s hand.
We chat and grab beers when, I stop in mid conversation.
Pookie & Terri arrive with new sticky up hairstyles and begin to undress for a dip in the lake.
I obviously watch and keep a close eye on them. I wouldn't want them to get bitten by the fishes or any dangers lurking in the lake. A Bloke has to do what a Bloke has to do and the view is spectacular! Two fine looking women, naked and cavorting in the water, Bear & JayC stands with Coves and I with the same idea.
“Perhaps someone should get them a towel?” JayC murmurs as they continue to tease us with their bodies. “Perhaps someone should” I answer but not one of us was prepared to leave our guard posts,
Then along comes the local chief of police to spoil our perve, “rotten bastard I’m gunna have to have a chat with him about private property and what goes on there.”
I head with Coves towards Amy, Stone & Brandy and join the conversations about rings and bikes. The girls suggest a spin on my bike round the lake. Knowing how my machine can make a lady feel, it would be rude to deny them.As wagers seem to be a common negotiation here in the village, I barter a ride for a kiss on the cheek.
I take Stone for a spin first, I chuckle as she settles primly behind me, I think it is time to crack the façade of the little English woman. I tear open the throttle of the bike, it leaps away threatening to blow stone off the back her arms tighten around my waist making me smile, then I step on the brakes and she is thrown hard against me.
Now she is settled on the back I head out on a circumnavigation of the lake, something I been keen to do for a while now as I was looking for a place on the lake. Not being in any rush I idle the bike at a leisurely pace making the bike vibrate like a dog shitting razor blades, knowing the effect it has on the libido of women who are fortunate enough to be pillion on my Bike.
Cruising around the lake, I notice a police cruiser parked off the road. It looks like the one that just took Pookie and Terric away from the party.
I cruise up to the cop car quietly and notice Mrsexlover the local chief of police being bribed it seems by his prisoners!!Using the fact that he is preoccupied, I quietly start taking photos with my phone, as insurance against future needs of course!
Poor Stone is in spasms of laughter as she tries to remain quiet. Having my blackmail material, I rev the bike up and spray the police cruiser with gravel.
Mrsexlover’s head spins around and he sees Stone and myself leaving the scene of his crime. I give him a wave, and then return to the cruiser and him. I share the photos with the chief, suggesting that the crimes the two naked women had committed, really were not that serious and they should all go back to the party!! Or… they could find there way into the Achat Tattler!!
After resolving the “BAIL” of the two attractive women and making them a promise to take them for a ride as well, I continue giving Stone her ride round the lake, riding leisurely so we can chat as we travel.
I ask Stone if there was any remote parts of the lake that were not claimed yet. She smiled and teased me about settling down, and directed me to a nice spot of land by the lake, telling me it was owned by Brandy. I made a mental note to have a chat with Brandy about making her an offer for the land.As we continue around the shoreline I notice Stone, squirming and moaning, softly behind me. I stop the bike and turn around to see if she is ok. One look at her face and I know she is fine lol and knowing JayC owes me one when I deposit his spouse back to him in this state, he will be lucky if she doesn't rape him on the spot.
Laughing softly to myself I head back to the party, I'm getting hungry and thirsty, and from the actions of Stone behind me I know she is hungry for some meat. Her grip around my waist is tight and her body pressed hard to mine, I speed up not trusting myself to be a gentleman with this hot and horny woman attached to my back.
Arriving back at the party I pull up next to JayC, Bear, Brandy, Amy and Coves. It takes JayC a double look to realize where Stones head is at. He assists her to dismount. Stone leans in close and kisses my cheek and promises me a spoon ring. JayC takes her hand and they wander off towards the forest.
I Head for the food table and make myself a plate of pork and taters.
Sitting down to eat, the ladies all come over individually and ask me if they can go on a tour as well like Stone. Smiling I agree. I can see a lot of riding is going to be done tonight.
Then the police cruiser returns with our skinny dippers and the Chief of police, looks a little sheepish as he glances over at me. I wave my cell phone at him laughing out loud and pointing to the incriminating photos. I’m sure there wont be any more trouble here tonight. Coves takes the naked women a couple of towels, which are received with grateful smiles. He kisses them on the cheek.
Soon as I finish eating, Amy is there with a look of expectation on her face. I jump up and lead her to my LowRider, and proceed to give her a joy ride, making sure it is heavy on the JOY.
On our return Amy face is flushed and seems suitably exited like Stone. I help her dismount, noticing Bear’s eyes on her. I assist Amy to her seat, where she slowly recovers. She kisses my cheek, smiles and promises me some of her famous cupcakes.Turning around I find myself face to face with FoxyRoxxy, all eager to climb on behind me, settling her in the usual fashion. We proceed around the lake. Again my bike performs as usual creating a another horny female to return to the party. Lover is waiting for us when we return, giving me a knowing look. We exchange the alpha male grin. Foxy kisses my cheek and promises me a sombrero. Lover leads her to the fire and they sit and snuggle.
“Oh I’m going to get a beer or two outta this evening’s work,” I chuckle to myself.
Pookie and Terric are waiting expectantly for their turn on the bike and ask if they can both go at the same time. It’s a bit of a squeeze with Terric behind me and Pookie behind her. Settling them in the usual way we head off, the bike jumping and vibrating as I play the throttle like a violinist!
Terric’s breast are squashed hard against my back, and I feel something hard behind my arse. Looking back I suspect saucy antics behind me. That thought is interesting and I almost drop the bike as it fires my imagination.
We head back to the party and the girls whisper about whether to go for another swim, inviting me to join them. I’m tempted and ask for a rain check as its Brandy’s turn for a ride.
On each ride return, the girls are all flushed faced and smiling and I must admit, I did drop a gear or two to make the machine vibrate that little bit extra. What self respecting biker wouldn’t with such beautiful women in his midst?Brandy kisses my cheek and makes me a promise that widens my grin. I settle her on the pillion seat and settle her in the usual manner, her fingers digging into my chest and her thighs gripping me hard as she presses her breast hard onto my back. Once we leave the party area I place my hand on her thigh and slide up under her skirt, finding to my delight, nothing under there that nature didn’t provide as standard equipment!
I head for the spit of land Stone had shown me. We climb off the bike and sit on the cliff edge to admire the view. We chat and snuggle as we look over the lake. Suddenly it is like daylight, with exploding colours filling the sky and being reflected on the surface of the lake. I turn and kiss her, slow, seductive and promising.
“Come on Aussie, we're missing the party and everyone is gunna wonder where we are…” She whispers seductively as I end the kiss.
I am tempted to take things further, when she giggles, “Oh just get a move on ya big lunk… save this for laters…”That makes me smile and I make sure the bike is on extra vibrate as we return….
Yes it is me the downunder bikie
