★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★ *1) Do you still have the car as of Oct 2018?* - Yes he does, the video & images in this video were put together by Tommy just recently, so yes he still owns it, and as said in this video will be handing it down to his son at the right time. *2) Why is the steering wheel on the wrong side / Right Hand Drive* - Because this is Australia, we have right hand drive cars and we drive on the opposite side of the road to Americans. *3) Ford is American not Australian how can it be part of Australian History* - The Ford Falcon XA is a unique Ford to Australia; Australian made, Australian sold. The Ford Falcon (XA) is a full-size car that was produced by Ford Australia from 1972 to 1973 in Australia. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_(XA) *4) You are driving on the wrong side of the road* - Yes in Australia the Police let us do that kind of thing, they very relaxed about driving on the wrong side of the road. *5) Why didn't he let his Dad drive the car* - (Tommy Replied) "My Dad, didn't, and still doesn't want to drive the car. He refused to drive it on the day of the reveal, and to this day, still won't drive it. I don't know why. I have told him he can drive the car whenever he wants." *6) Why didn't he give the car back to his parents?* - (Tommy Replied) "As the video states, they never wanted the car back. It was mine to do with it as I pleased. I was given the car when my parents moved into town and had nowhere to keep the car." *7) "F O R D Logo" - If you forward to **5:10** you will notice an error in the ford emblem on the rear trunk/boot. The F and the O are incorrectly spaced apart compared to the spacing between the other letter.* - Reply from Tommy, "The badges on the boot were not evenly spaced when the car was purchased new. Hence why we chose to not get them perfectly spaced out."

[@gillixexik]

Wonder World I thought most of these were obvious besides the first question.

[@WonderWorldYTC]

Obvious to us, but if you read the comments below, you can see why i added the info here

[@felipegrijo5803]

About the fact #4, you're driving in the correct side of the car according to Jeremy Clarckson, lol. I'm Brazilian, so I drive in the wrong side of the road. I loved the video, a unforgetable car with a beautiful story. I was talking in the other day with a friend of mine about the Aussie V8 car culture. You have so many unique V8 cars, like Sandman or the UTE's like Maloo, for example. I think that Australia have to present more of their V8 culture to the world, not only the Mad Max side of the story. PS: Sorry about my English since it's not my first language

[@WonderWorldYTC]

I have no doubt the V8 culture is still strong in certain groups & communities, but with fuel prices and car companies shutting down due to poor sales and imports being economical 4 or 6 cylinders, I think the culture is dying off.

Never change a car for a bitch! My wife told me after i got married to sell my cars , cause i had alot of them(mostly SAAB). I never sold one, and now i eneded up with a big collection. Even you sold your car for the wedding, this was not wise at all. A woman you can get anytime....but a classic.....much harder. Now don't get me wrong ,i love my wife and i understand everything......but it is not wise to mix cars and women. Women have their place, and the cars another.

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

Their love is only partially for the car. The real love and emotion is with time that has passed. Seeing the car back in it’s original state would have time travelled them back to 1973. A time when their kids were small, they were young, and their lives were ahead of them. The car is the catalyst, but not the reason.

[@Zeridium]

Mr ___________ is right, it's the memories it's bringing back not the car. When I see my first car still at the breakers yard after all these years I remember the good old times and how it was a blessing and allowed me to do many things that I've couldnt without a car.

I prey I can get help SOMEWHERE to do the restoration on his complete Fairmont GXL that still has everything to it as he bought it from Kyneton Ford so I can experience him & Mum driving it once again before they pass. And its in more than a reasonable condition being kept out of the weather now for over 30 years.

I've had my Camaro for 21 years, it is no longer a just a means of transportation, but a family member, a friend and a sanctuary. When my little brother died, it became a place to escape to. It literally carried me through the worst time of my life. It is currently undergoing major upgrades. People think I've spent too much on it, but to me, it has earned it and deserves it. It's just time to return the favor. I understand this story, and when his folks came out, well, can't put a price on that.

My dad had a similar relationship with his Australian 1974 P5 Ford LTD. We had some great family trips with that car and my dad regretted selling it and always dreamed of having it again. Unfortunately, we left Australia over 20 years ago and I never got to do what this young man did for his father. And now 7 years after his passing, I will regret not being able to put this kind of smile on my dad's face by restoring and giving him his car from his youth. Well done to this son, moments like these will never be forgotten and last a lifetime.

[@PLANETIA01]
