Manos

Is it true that Falcon are having money troubles???

Manos · 16 January 2004, 20:22

Jono that is a question that you should substantiate with facts!
I have heard nothing about that and I think is VERY BAD MANNERED ROUMOR.

Could be Gemini....

Manos · 16 January 2004, 21:09

It CANNOT be FALCON

As far as I know they have orders booked until the end of 2005.

I have my suspitions who it may be (actually I am sure who it is) but have to ask to confirm it and as soon as I hav it confirmed I will let you know

Manos,

Interesting piece in the current RI about South African ribs but no mention of Falcon Ribs.

Andre

Manos · 16 January 2004, 21:29

Yes I saw it Andre and I was about to say.
Well if you don't pay pay you don't get

(if you get my drift)

Simmon if you click the link under my signature (The Flying Falcon) you get to the Falcon's web site

Thanks, ill have a look at falcon.

They've had a 3 foot dumping of snow in Les arcs over the last few days Manos! and more snow forcast for tonite and tomorow.

money problems? not at Falcon, but there are rumours going round of one of the other big SA players, would however not like to disclose any names

Falcon Boats · 17 January 2004, 06:59

Hi Andre, have also noticed the article in RI - have corresponded with them about the exclusion of Falcon - I'm not saying we're the biggest or the very best, but we are definately one of the more major roleplayers in SA - in fact we were involved with Gemini and Prestige in racing & testing even before any of us started producing, we all know each other well and have no grudges badmouthing about each other's products, as we are on a similar level of build quality at present, although Falcon started producing some 5 years later (originally under the brandname 'Infanta')
