That car looked incredible in real life!! loved it

It basically had a rubberband wrapped around the rim haha not much tyre on those 22's

GT-0099 · 17-02-2009, 03:52 PM

yeah those are 22's and i think it looks really good

CSV_LS1 · 17-02-2009, 04:49 PM

And i thought that the front suspension didn't allow 22" to be used.

**FTE217** · 17-02-2009, 04:51 PM

That FG sure does look HOT ! no stickers is the go.

Do you recieve a free kidney belt when you buy rims that size for a sedan?

My son and I took my landau and had a great day. A bit disappointing for him being a 91 TX3 owner that the lasers were pretty much a no show. But the best bit for me was seeing so many younger guys getting into the old classics like the zb zc fairlanes and the xa, xb, xc's. Good stuff.

Try revving your engine next to a cop car at the traffic lights eh. ;)

BTW CAT600, this post isn't aimed at you.

PS - any more skid pics?

Me! no skids tho, ...not that dumb. I blame the bmx bandits, saying i looked like i was 10. little brats , i'd like to see them try to look over a gt s/wheel without a booster seat.

It ran 235/30/22's looked like it had only an inch of sidewall. ZWatch out for potholes they could get expensive.

The car had had the ball joints modded aparently to make it work. I don't know why.

Hey Dazza / Nugget378

Not actually having a go at the car - probably one of the most desirable XAs out there in my opinion

Owner is actually a mechanic by trade

I have it on video at Calder Park back in 1996 - think it ran a high 12 or v low 13

Will need to check when i get back to Melbourne

Was a friend of a friends car

mrbaxr6t · 17-02-2009, 06:34 PM

dad has a FD LTD - was there any there? I am thinking its a rare as hens teeth car very hard to get parts for, and its the only one I see on the road of its type? tried to find a pic of it and carnt - it is a nice car and dad has spent $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on it, but its still a bit of a crate I am trying to find a piccy of one online and can't. I suspect this because a guy come round and bought another car dad was selling seen the LTD and went "how much for that?" dad says "not for sale" guy says "comeon how much I really want one of those" dad again said "its not for sale, the one I advertised is, sorry" guy left dad his # telling him if he ever wants to sell it to let him know ASAP as he will take it immediately. Was there one @ the all Ford day?

geeze I waffle on <sorry>

Good to see you over here (yes same Russell from WVCC lol).

I wouldn't feel to confident driving it with it being cut up :ticking:

JD86 · 18-02-2009, 04:10 PM

awesome day by the looks of it

i wish i went but couldnt make it

galaxy xr8 · 18-02-2009, 06:04 PM

My only gripe for the day would have to be the lack of food available, espcially at 9am, who want's to eat hot chip's, and dim sim's and kababs and greasy food for breaky, I looked for a y-men's club or rotary club and was hoping to find a egg sandwich or such but no, nothing but chip's and dimmies, very disapointing.

Me! :P

Some of my friends brought eskies though with cereal, milk, fruit, juice, etc., might be something for you to consider for next year in case the food stalls don't cater for healthy food again.

Something I did this year was bring an esky with some food. Bakers Delight opens at 6 mostly so some nice brekky there. Save a fortune too.

galaxy xr8 · 18-02-2009, 07:51 PM

Well I have bought a nice egg sandwhich etc from there in prevoius yr's, and thought it would be the same this yr, how wrong I was, and when considering my partner can not eat certain food's (allergies) and she to has bought something like I did that she could eat in previous yr's, we thought there was no need to bring anything,
well we come un stuck.
Next yr we will bring our own food.
I didn't think there was many that turned out this yr either, does anybody know if the number's were down this yr or not????.

Tha Jack · 18-02-2009, 07:53 PM

Cheers Jack

Pics of 25 coupes

Due to limitations in photobucket on the number of photos in an album, I'll leave these in my photobucket album for a coupe of weeks - then I'll delete them and load the other 19 coupes and leave them for another 2 weeks.
