That prompts a question.... are there many ford's over here that anyone is aware of?

[aussiedude]

I've seen a few BA utes about the place. Mainly up north, Newcastle area..

[Raggyman]

Yeah, I would suppose they are around... just like the Monaro's.... I have actually never seen one out in the wild, and I do a bucket load of KM's..

I owned a EA Falcon in London a couple of years ago. A white one, 3.9 TBI, not the MPFI one. Sold it for £500 from memory. Also noticed this one in ebay recently http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Australian-Ford-Falcon-XR6-4-0-Station-Wagon-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ4568737997QQcategoryZ18301QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
There is also a bloke up the road with a BA Ute as mentioned above. Ive not seen any V8 sedans, though there is a red manual XR6 somewhere around too.

Ah wow, ok, they are fords, but they are australian, which kind of makes them tolerable.

I know poor Rob would have read the word rubbish instead of the word ford. Maybe, Duncan can be our translator, cause saw him walking around in a Ford shirt of all things!

Yes there are a few F**ds over here that have attended the Baturst bash for the past few years, see the Club Web Site @ www.aus-ford-uk.co.uk/ This link is on this HSV Club Site.

Also some nice Valiant Chargers from the Mopar Muscle Club

Wow, cool... didn't know that was around down here..

[ringram]

Cool, under the "where are they now, is the picture of my EA that I took in the car park in front of the old wembley stadium". Looks like it was £250 I sold it for
I did check out a yellow 351 XB Falcon in Derbyshire a couple of years back too.

[Raggyman]

So we still going to do this kids?

[uk hsv]

i am up for it...............we had a 7 car convoy from the south last year, can we do better?

"v8hsv" i assume you are still HSV less!!!! want a lift?

[BigNige]

Oh bloody 'ellers.

We're taking posession of the Brighton flat that day...I guess we may make it perhaps on the way back to Essexinnit.

[Mike HSV]

Which way are you guys from the south coming, would be keen to meet up en route and go in with you if poss, any services on your route near the M25?

Mike

[uk hsv]

meet up with "td*ute" last year at Ripley services on the A3 (just of M25).................................

[damoace]

You know you it makes sense BigFella!

I could be convinced into showing my face....

[monkfish1]

Im There!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[V8HSV]

Thanks ukhsv for the offer of a lift but I am declining your offer on two points, one I have no HSV as you quite rightly surmised and two my obsessional nature has taken me back to the lure of the opposite sex which is now taking up all my spare time, so a clean weekend in Dartmouth has already been booked.

Would like to have met for the social side but without my motor it would be just too much to bare, even thoughts of selling it now too.

Hope you all have a great time
