bad news for any anyone waiting for a new xr6t to be build or any ford for that matter ford have go on strike as from today....we were unloading steel for fords today at geelong port and loading it onto trucks and it was going straight to ford and they had to bring it back as they have closed the gates.

Just watched the news tonight & yes they are on strike but also said It would not effect production? Go figure! Not sure but I think at this stage it is only material handleing guys I.e. forklift drivers & such?

Phew, that was close.

Saw my new car at the dealer today. It's in pre-delivery and due to be delivered tomorrow.

Excellent

to bad the steel had to be deliverd urgently because they where runing low

no steel=no cars

:doh2:

Its not just the factory either. All of spare parts warehouse are on strike as well...... I want a job at Ford! :lol:

Lets all hope this doesnt happen when we all go down for our visit in October!!! (touch wood)

Its funny that Ford said on the news that production wouldn't be effected although all of Broadmeadows and Geelong production workers are striking until Wednesday at the earliest. Are the cars magically going to build themselves. Looks like I'll be enjoying the sunshine for a few days.

Are the cars magically going to build themselves?

Maybe that's why they're on strike! :lol: Worried about losing their jobs because of this magic!

Fricken Heck. I've gotta go see my dealer today and find out if my car has actually been finished on the production line. If it is, what a damn close call. If not then I'm gonna cry :(

Krash... Im in the same boat. Due delievery was 16th of this month. I think I need a hug.. :(
