Boosted Falcon

Wow it's a big list for me... I'm into my mid 30's with cars... and im 27.

Some real addicts out there. In my case, 10 years and 5 cars.

1989 EA Ghia white - originally a daily (I created ford.i8.com/eafalcon.com based on it), then a clumsy and indecisive project, then RIP
1990 KF Laser S white - memorable... bought for $2k, gave 3 years of reliable motoring then sold for $2k.
1994 Eunos 800M blue - childhood dream machine first, seductive money pit second; sold after 2 years of headaches
1998 Eunos 500 black, manual - very good all rounder, but by this stage I was over imports

Current: 1999 Calais silver - intended as an EA equivalent. Humble, stock but great condition and goes well.

my list..

2 83? subaru leones. one for parts.. both had too much rust to be registered again. sold both to the wreckers
86 mitsubishi magna, duel fuel. sold it to the wreckers
79 vb commodore. biggest lemon. i had it for 6 months before selling it
83 datsun bluebird, manual. damn i miss that car. sold it
90 ea gl. cpi, lpg. sold it
89 ea s-pack. manual, lpg. wrote it off hitting a roo. still have it for bits
86 as ford telstar. manual. another pos.. dunno why i bought it. sold it
90 toyota camry. 5 spd manual. never saw the road.. still have it actually

current rego'd cars
91 xf ute. auto, lpg. still have it
92 fairmont ghia. manual, au motor, lpg. still have it. considered selling it before i moved out of the rents actually

1st car - 1980 Blue GLE Volvo, wind back sunroof ($400) made it surfers and back twice!
2nd - 1982 White XE Falcon 4spd, broke and engine mount the first weekend i had it doing skids
3rd - 1984 Matt Black XE falcon, thought it looked good.............haha
4th - 1984 Black XE Fairmont, 160rwkw six, t5, ed xr diff, heaps of suspension mods and gtp's
5th - 1997 El fairmont, 155rwkw six, t5, el xr diff, heaps of suspension mods and gtp's (soon to be powerdyned)

and along that way also had
2 ke55s 2 door corollas
TE cortina 4spd
XF panel van
1980 Sigma 5spd
1987 nissan pintara

this is gonna take me ages. i can say since 14 easily 50 maybe a hundred i'll seperate the list drivers, wreaks and and projects. and if anyone thinks i'm talking shit or exaggerating ask holmsy or luxo 8 cos i used to live luxo and they saw a few go thru my yard.

thats all my cars i drove for at least a month since i was 18 for atleast a month. cbf doing all the wreaks right now but easily 100 all up without including scapers. if i remember anymore i'll post em up

1. EB Fairmont ghia

...and that's me done.

Thats a nice list, mine comprises of dattos/geminis and then went euro, old jags w/ 302, merc w/ 202 and other bmw's and riceburners... not until lately did I get a VN manual, then chucked it in the bin and bought an EB fairmont since my roof insulation business died after the government killed it. Figured I could afford a BMW anymore, and discovered how much better a falcon was for what I wanted. People glorify the BA XR6t so much but after driving BA company cars and even mates low km's AU I think I am very very satisfied with my EB fairmont and EL engine w/ turbo conversion. Best car in the world (and cheapest) in my opinion.

Only 2 so far,
-97 EL GLi, Regancy, slammed on ELGT's, Paceys, zorst etc - stolen
-98 NL Fairlane, Alaskan Frost, stock as a rock atm

Can you read the post? I MAINLY OWN IT, the 8.6 years is also shared with my parents from January, 2002 up to now. My parents prity much only have the rego and the car in their name. Everything else i have already slowly paid them back for so that instead of forking out $1000 when i turn 18 for it, i will just be able to have them transfer the rego and all related stuff into my name. Then asof 13th August, 2013, it will be mine

You'll sell it and buy at least 4 cars between now and the time you can get your license.

My Brother was your age when he got his First car. a VL wagon he had 4 different cars by the time he acutally got his license.

Well this ones going to be staying for a while as i want to take it off the road when im off my p-plates, do the BA engine conversion (not sure whether to drop a boss or a standard BA engine in) and supercharge it along with a diff upgrade from the 3:23:1 to an 3:45:1 LSD Diff, T56 manual box, brake upgrades, au k-frame and possibly au diff to allow for the AU offset. This will be done over a period of roughly 6 months or more

lol if you are gonna dream, dream big.
