The Road Warrior

About Me



Myspace Backgrounds
..
My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the Road Warrior - the man we called Max. To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time; when the world was powered by the black fuel and the deserts sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now; swept away. For reasons long forgotten two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze that engulfed them all. Without fuel, they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled, the cities exploded; a whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads, it was a white line nightmare; omly those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice. And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed. Men like Max, the Warrior Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything and became a shell of a man. A burnt out desolate man, haunted by the demons of his past. A man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again.

My Interests



About my 1974 Ford XB Falcon.The XB Falcon was the first of the primarily home-grown Ford Falcon designs; previous versions were based almost entirely on their American Falcon namesakes, with only differences for local customs (right-hand drive, etc). Ford was finally shifting units, gaining on GM's dominant Australian Holden brand, so when news filtered out of Dearborn that the Falcon was to be discontinued, Ford Australia weren't pleased. They asked to continue developing the existing Falcon chassis, and so it was permitted. The XB debuted as a '73 model and remained in production for four years. The Falcon name still lives on today in Australia as a bona fide performance legend.There is no mistaking this Falcon as anything but a Ford: while you can pick out elements of early '70s Torino (primarily the rear quarters and roofline) and Mustang (the aggressive stance and bonnet on some models), it shares body and chassis components with neither model and is a unique all-Australian creation.The mechanicals, however, are straight out of the American muscle car playbook: a strong, 300bhp (at 5,400rpm) 351 Cleveland V8 unencumbered by catalytic converter, a Toploader 4-speed gearbox with hydraulic clutch (or optional FMX automatic), buggy-spring 9-inch rear with open or LSD 3.0 gearing (and standard four-wheel disc brakes). Unlike American muscle cars, however, this spec was available on Australian Falcon models right through to 1976. Even the visuals on a standard Falcon have a parallel-universe muscle car feel about them: bright colours, cold-air bonnets, matt black trim, bold striping, boot spoilers, thin body-enhancing bumpers. The year is wrong, the shapes are familiar but not correct, and it's half a dozen years out of date... but there is no mistaking the pedigree. Rarity is part of the package as well: in four years of XB Falcons, less than 1000 GTs were built.For my pursuit car, the blunt factory nose was fitted with a wind-cheating Monza snoot, fender flares, moulded-in spoilers and zoomie exhaust pipes were added, and a Weiand supercharger poked through the bonnet. Last of the V-8 Interceptors...
