[FTE217]

The TSeries is the gem that sadly under delivered due to many things expressed by DFB.
I admired each of them as they evolved.
The options and trim quality is something that stands out might I add.
The let down was not enough powa as mentioned till the last.
I remember yours DJM and the many other fellow forum members back in those great days on the forum.
In fact many are still in close contact to this day even though not on the forum.
The 220 as much as a reliable gem it was just wasn't enough :(
I bought new a S3 XR8 in Meteorite and I luved it so so dearly but I just had to upgrade when I could and sadly long after all the great run out deals at FTe dealers of T3's.
My local was Garlicks and I used to see 6 or more T3's at great pricing but I just didn't pull my finger out to trade up.
Low and behold come 06 and on this forum I got to know a member who was ready to sell his low K Blueprint - I sussed it out at Peter Warren AFD.
9/4/06 we starting sorting out a deal, when I test drove it I was gob smacked how much more it had to the 220.
I was in heaven, deal done and still in my hands to this day.
Yer it sure was a drinker, I used to giggle having led footed it so many times my DTE was around 450 or less.
The smell of the fumes at idle, lumpy and take off like a cut snake !
Its a halo Falcon for me, deserved being a GT imo due to the 5.6 stroker.
It talked the talk wtf all too late.

Great memories DFB was waiting for this part of the history to be posted.
