PWR rant

[Tonz]

after years with various Falcons I recently took the plunge and ordered a trans cooler unit from PWR on 18th March.

Phoned them Tuesday and text message it should be ready for shipment on Friday. Will advise tracking number etc.

twiddle me thumbs for how long? For a business as big as theirs onr would think (presume ) they would carry Falcon units in stock.
Very unimpressed

While I do sympathise with you, I would have agreed with you 5 years ago. The last of the Falcons are now 8 years old.

Most people have moved on from Falcon / Commodore. Most people these days who own them are either kids and/or people who are at the lower end of the socio-economic scale. Neither of these groups of people buy high-end stuff such as trans coolers etc of PWR quality.

This sounds like a good way of keeping punters on a Ford forum ?

It was not meant to be derogatory in any way. I own five Falcons myself.

I apologise to anyone who is offended by my comments.

I think you've forgotten the large group of HDT & HSV owners in that lot. They are a long way from the "lower end of the socio-economic scale".

Once again, I apologise if I have offended anyone.

HDT and HSV owners are a small group when compared to overall sales of Commodores etc.

I said most, maybe I should of said large portion or similar, but I certainly did not say all.

I was not bagging 'the lower end of the socio-economic scale' I was just pointing out that generally now that these cars are 8 years old they are owned by people who are not PWR customers. Before you jump all over me for that comment, I am probably not a PWR customer either.

Most companies these days do not carry large amount of stock, most will order in which takes a bit longer to deliver to customers, sign of the times since covid.

Should have tried Speedmaster, they’re probably selling coolers that say PWR on the unit inside the box.
