Hey everyone, my names Amber ( but everyone calls me BamZ).

I am 19 years old from Melbourne, studying Animal Care, Cert 4 in Horse Management and Fundamentals of Automotive (Pre-Apprenticeship).

Been a member of ae86drivingclub for awhile now but since I ended up with 2 Fords I thought Id sign up to this club and hopefully get some info on my car/s.

I have an 1990 EA Falcon and an 1994 ED XR6 Tickford Wagon. Going to 'fix up' the wagon in the near future, but unfortunately I don’t know much about fords so just learning as I go.

: )

Hi All, I am new to the forum, 50 year old finance broker and now the proud owner of a pretty rough 1977 Escort Mk 2 Ghia, bought on Ebay. Nothing like a good project. Has a bit of rust, but will keep me occupied for a while. Look forward to accessing heaps of info from this site.

Hello all, the name's Matt.
Only joined this site recently, with my current ride being a 2006 BF XR8 ute, De Ja Vu green, factory fitted hard cover with alloy sports bar. It also has a sickpuppy 5 poster bullbar & twin 2 1/2" cat back exhaust system.
And yes it is a B&S/rural ute.

Hey all, Ive got a MkII BA XR8 Sedan which is still stock at the moment, however, i have a bit of an excuse. Currently my girlfriend and i are living in London while my girlfriends olds are looking after it. I have pics of it everywhere over here and only found this site a few weeks ago after nearly 1 year of being in London - but thankfully AFF has now given me a chance to plan some mods to get into as soon as the plane lands in Perth!

Just thought I would pop in and say hi. This is all rather addictive. it's nice to be in a place were people appreciate their ford as much as I do. I own a modified 1998 KJ ford laser. I have always wanted an XR8 but couldn't afford it on an apprentice wage so I made my own hot 4 ford! it has only taken 3 years! lol lots of mods and lots of future mods to come. If my little Garrett turbo and engine component upgrades are done by the 23rd of september I'll be entering it into "All Fords QLD" day down at Kedron. I just have to be nice to my mechanic!. Hope to see you all there! @lly :

Hello... Im new around the place, Im a true Holden fan... I LOVE MY HOLDENS!!! I have an appreciation for all cars that have been shown a bit of TLC and alot of mods... Thought Id come and check out the place (lotsa nice Fords on here) and also do a bit advertising in your for sale section...

I did have a VQ Statesman, a nice white one, big wheels, clean paint job, 5.0l, tints, it was kinda 'tough' for a chicks car... That was yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon, it was stolen . A phone call from the police this morning at some ridiculous hour confirmed my worst nightmare.. She was found... Burnt to a crisp... I wish nothing but karma on the people that did it to me... 10 fold!!!

B safe on the roads... :o)

Hi all, I joined a few months ago. Love reading up on all the projects on this site.
Proud owner of a white 2005 BA XR8 sedan with a few mods, and a beater EL gl 4.0L
I am a huge xb coupe fan, The first movie I ever saw in the cinema was mad max, so I guess that explains why! Love reading the projects threads, although there should be more mustangs in there I reckon, but its good to see average people having a go.
Oh.. will post pics of the beast when someone can tell me how to reduce the size!

Default Hey

Hey. I'm new to the forum.

I'm 16 and still on my L's sadly but pretty soon I'm getting and EL Falcon. I'm not a lead-foot and I really dislike the people that are (on the streets of course). I refuse to drive a Holden because I don't want to conform to the "Redneck/Hill Billy" bogans of South Australia.

I play drums and guitar but I've been guitar for 3 years longer than drums.

Welcome mate, I agree.. if you buy Holden you will need a black beanie with holes in it and megadeath T-shirt. Sorry for those on the forums that own these two items.
